HOW DO I USE PRE-GROUND BLUE LOTUS?
- Tea: Add 1-2tsp of pre-ground lotus to a teabag*, add to 6-8oz hot water and steep for 5-10 minutes. Use more or less herb for a stronger or lighter cup. Add milk, honey, agave, or lemon to taste.
- Smoke: Many of our customers choose to combine this herb with the traditional 'Wake-n-Bake' herb, but this herb has been historically 'baked' on its own as well. Please do this at your own risk and be sure to research herbs thoroughly before consuming or inhaling in any way, especially if you are currently taking prescription medications.
- Tinctures/Wine: Infuse any liquid of your choosing with our premium Egyptian blue lotus.
*Please note: This listing is for a PRE-GROUND blend, meaning finer diced than traditional full-leaf herbal tea. Our pre-ground is of medium coarseness, but some pre-ground particles may escape from a traditional infuser from time to time. Because of this, we recommend using tea bags (not infusers) to steep our pre-ground herbs and blends.

IS IT REALLY PSYCHOACTIVE?
Yes, blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is considered mildly psychoactive. The psychoactive effects of blue lotus are relatively mild compared to many other psychoactive substances, and they can vary from person to person. The psychoactive properties of blue lotus are attributed to various alkaloids found in the plant, including aporphine and nuciferine.
It's important to note that the psychoactive effects of blue lotus are generally considered to be subtle and gentle. They are not typically associated with intense hallucinations or altered states of consciousness like those caused by more potent psychoactive substances. The effects are often described as relaxing and mood-enhancing, rather than mind-altering.
