Heya guys, new to the forums but read as much as I can around here and came upon a question that I just had to ask. My pink ferret is going to be doing a cold water extraction of heavenly blue morning glory seeds tomorrow and have read a lot about it but recently came across the theory of including peppermint oil/tea into the process and my poor pink ferret has become stumped on this topic. To clarify my pink ferret is going to be (just to sum up quickly) grinding MG seeds (between 4-600) with a coffee grinder into coarse/recommended state. Next my pink ferret will be putting the seeds into an empty tea bag that is stapled shut and create a cold water "tea" with 12 oz of cold distilled water (all with black light). My pink ferret also read about/will at this stage be adding some fresh lemon juice while the tea bag is soaking and agitated every 10 minutes for about an hour. The question comes at this state and the peppermint oil/tea rumors. Is there a difference between peppermint oil and peppermint tea? How would one add specifically the tea? (Would assume making tea beforehand and cooling it, just not sure how much is needed to be adding, or even if you could simple add a peppermint tea bag to the beginning of the seed tea bag soaking stage) Would the lemon juice and peppermint tea interfere with each other? Another question my pink ferret had about the actual process that swim might know is if when the cold water is taken out of the fridge, does one need to put the water + seed tea bag back into the fridge while it is being shaken, or is it unnecessary and can just be kept somewhere cool and dark? From reading it seems that it (peppermint) might not exactly turn the LSA into LSH but it does seem to have some type of affect, any more information that might help my process and desired outcome would also be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, I was actually hoping you were the one to reply, see you all the time . Assuming you probably tried it before? By the way what do you think about keeping the water cold for the extraction? Does it matter after you start it with cold water in the first place?
just do a Cold water if you dont want all than seed mass, your still going to get a cringing vascular constricting feeling.. colder the water the better.. Im confident there is more to pulverizing them into dust and eating them, than water extractions. But there isnt much lose if you get good pressure and squeeze.. If you made teabag out of some nylon or good fabric, take 2 spoon and squeeze the bag between the 2 spoons.. or get a cake pan and push something down on it.
i just ordered some peppermint tea b/c i was just reading these same teks on this. only i'm using hawaiian baby woodrose. i am also thinking about using cold rum. supposedly the acetaylade things are supposed to convert some of the lsa into the much stronger lsh. i will try this in a couple days and see how it works. i'm not to sure it will work, as i keep reading it will be a myth. good luck
So how does the cold rum work anyways? You just do CWE and use a smaller amount of rum instead of water or what?
