Methods of consumption There are a couple popular methods of consuming the powdered leaf, but the most common are “toss and wash”, mixing with food, and preparation as a tea. “Toss and wash” is basically just spooning the powder into your mouth and washing it down with a liquid. This is the most “difficult” method of consumption but likely gives the strongest effects. The powder is incredibly dry and will stick to your mouth and throat, causing many to gag or cough “blow” the dry powder out of their mouth. If using this method of consumption, it is best to spoon small amounts at a time. Kratom can also be mixed into a food and eaten that way. Apple sauce and ice cream are often used.
