Kraken Kratom | Gold Reserve Kratom Capsules

There are multiple ways to use kratom powder, but the two most-used are to add the powder into a drink or the "toss and wash" method.

Make a Drink

1. Prepare your kratom dose in a tea strainer or coffee filter
2. Boil a small pot of water. Any amount that you want for your drink is fine. The less water you use, the more the kratom flavor may be prevalent.
3. Once it begins to boil, take it off the burner and let it sit for a couple minutes. Very hot temperatures can deplete the alkaloids.
4. Slowly pour the hot water over the tea strainer or coffee filter that contains your proper serving of kratom.
5. Add any sweetener or other flavoring to your final product. 
6. Enjoy your customized kratom drink!

​

The “Toss and Wash” Method

1. Prepare your dose of kratom powder.
2. Take a small sip and hold in your mouth of whatever beverage or liquid you desire.
3. Pour your dose of kratom powder into your mouth, while still holding the liquid in your mouth.
4. Quickly swish everything around in your mouth, mixing the powder and liquid together.
5. Swallow.

​

*Please never put any dry powder in your mouth without liquid. This can be unpleasant and dangerous.
