You can tailor the benefits of this tea by adjusting how long you steep it and which type of kratom tea you use.

For a more brightening and energizing ginger tea, steep for a shorter time and brew with white vein kratom tea. For a more restorative, relaxing, and comforting brew, steep for a longer time and try brewing with red vein kratom tea.

Choosing the Right Kratom Tea Variety

We use Unwind tea bags in this lemon ginger kratom recipe. Unwind tea bags contain just raw leaf red vein kratom. These kratom tea bags are made with crushed kratom leaves, not kratom powder. Crushed-leaf kratom bags are the easiest way to make kratom tea that has a smooth texture and good flavor.

Red vein kratom is known for its calming properties, so it’s the perfect match for those seeking a bit of relaxation and relief.

You can of course swap out Unwind for whatever type of kratom tea you like best. The effects may differ slightly, but you’ll still end up with a delectable brew.

Combining Flavor and Function

Lemon and ginger have multiple purposes in this recipe. They don’t just add bright citrus flavor and sharp spiciness, they add function as well.

For starters, the lemon plays an important role in strengthening your kratom tea. Kratom alkaloids aren’t highly water-soluble like caffeine is, so it takes a little bit of extra effort to get them out of the tea leaves. One way you can do this is by increasing the acidity of the water.

Lemon juice contains citric acid. The added acidity from the lemon juice makes it easier to for the alkaloids to dissolve in water when you brew your tea.

Next, the fresh ginger provides warmth and numerous health benefits. It also improves the flavor of the kratom. Kratom tea can be fairly bitter, so adding a strong flavor like ginger can make it taste much better.

Can You Make this Recipe with Kratom Powder Instead of Kratom Tea?

Can you make ginger and lemon kratom tea with kratom powder? The answer to this question is yes, but with a few caveats.

Here’s the deal: you can absolutely make this lemon ginger kratom tea recipe with powder instead of tea if you’d like. A lot of kratom companies even call their finely ground kratom powder “tea,” probably to make it sound better or more natural.

Kratom powder and crushed-leaf kratom tea do come from the same type of leaves. However, using one instead of the other will greatly affect the brewing process and the taste of the final drink.

There are a couple ways to make “tea” with kratom powder. If you just add kratom powder to hot water to make your lemon ginger tea, it will most likely be gritty (not to mention, unnecessarily bitter). Even super-fine kratom powder probably won’t dissolve in your tea.

Alternatively, you can steep kratom powder in water and then strain it, similar to how you might brew coffee. This method takes a bit longer and involves a lot more preparation and cleanup. You can use either a paper filter or a French press to try and strain out the powder once it has steeped. Most French presses don’t have fine-enough mesh filters for kratom powder, though, so you may still end up with a gritty brew.

Similar considerations also apply for the type of ginger you use.

While fresh ginger is recommended for the fullest flavor profile and smoothest feel, powdered ginger is a good substitute when fresh ginger is not readily available.

What Makes This Lemon Ginger Kratom Tea Recipe Actually Taste Good?

Using crushed-leaf kratom tea, fresh ginger, and freshly squeezed lemon juice are three important pieces of the puzzle for making kratom tea that tastes good.

Yet, if you’re like us, you might want to add a touch of sweetness to make this recipe complete. To balance the bite of the lemon, the spice of the ginger, and the bitterness of the kratom leaves, add agave and vanilla extract. A little of each of these ingredients goes a long way to make this brew restorative for your taste buds in addition to the rest of your body!

Why Choose Lemon Ginger Kratom Tea for Relaxation and Comfort?

In a world filled with numerous avenues for relaxation and comfort, why try making a lemon ginger kratom tea recipe? Lemon ginger kratom tea stands out for several reasons.

Firstly, you can multitask while you make it and drink it anywhere.

While activities like meditation or a warm bath are undeniably relaxing, they require dedicated time and space that you may not have. In contrast, you can brew and enjoy kratom tea in the midst of your daily routine. You can take a calming pause to drink it, or drink it while doing something else so you don’t disrupt your busy schedule.

Secondly, it’s a sensory delight. From the citrusy tang of lemon to the warm, earthy notes of ginger, the flavors in this tea recipe engage multiple senses. It’s a pleasurable experience for your taste buds, and the aromas alone can invoke feelings of comfort and well-being.

Lastly, it’s a holistic choice. Unlike some comfort activities that focus solely on the mind or body, lemon ginger kratom tea addresses both. It’s a well-rounded approach to relaxation that encompasses your entire being.
