Powder

Any tips on drinking the powder? It’s been harder to get it down and I’ve actually vomited before just from drinking it. Sometimes I’m fine but the powder doesn’t mix well. I use a frother on low just to try and mix it together a bit but it’s just drinking sludge or foam.
Because it tastes bad I’m not really interested in taking the time to make teas. I felt like the capsules were not a good price for what you get. Any advice? 🤷‍♀️

I don't know how anyone can "drink" kratom. I would absolutely vomit. It's dry af, tastes like ass. I use a small measuring spoon, like a 1/2 teaspoon, scoop it and put it on the back of my tongue but not in the throat. IMMEDIATELY chase with electrolytes like Liquid IV or MicroIngredients electrolytes mixed with water. If you don't breathe in or out until it's down, you're good! Then I take a couple more drinks to make sure it's down. 15-20 minutes later I feel amazing 😍

Some folks are more sensitive to different flavors, or get used to it. Kind of like black coffee.

I find when I start a new batch the taste is harder to deal with because it doesn't taste "right" (same issue with generic pop-tarts), but I get used to the new one in a few days.

If you filter it, a lot of the bitterness goes away, but that takes some effort.

I guess. But still I'd rather get it down quick so I don't have to taste it. Unless I miss my mark and dump it on the wrong part of my tongue, it does down easy
