Blue lotus

Does any one know if this is a good herb or what to do with it?

Blue Lotus tastes like birthday cake!

You can steep it in wine (~20g/bottle) for a few days (add some honey/agave), smoke it alone, smoke it 1:1 with cannabis, use it to make changa... It's quite versatile! It's very gentle and loving, works on the heart chakra. On the rare occasion I treat myself to cannabis, I never have it without blue lotus--it's extremely empathic and uplifting.

It ROCKS in changa, too... :twisted:

Blue lotus and wine?!
What a delicious idea...20g is steeping.

Lol that's so cool!! So if I get it I should make tea and have my gf and I enjoy? Can I drink it straight if I brew for 20 mins? I hear it like a sensational flow is this true makes you wanna be closer at that time?

supposedly blue lotus wine was the ancient egyptions' preferred method of administration for this herb, though I don't think that has been proven...

from what i hear it makes sense to do it that way because the alcohol will absorb the alkaloids better

 

[mistmann]

So you find a cheap wine and just add 20g let it sit for a week and then enjoy?
I think I can do that.

I would say, let it steep at least three days. You could let it steep for longer if you like, though you may run the risk of the wine getting a bit funky. Lotus wine makes an awesome Christmas gift.

I have found making a tea is extremely bitter (strangely), but I may have steeped way too much too long.

Any particular wine, like white or red? White and rosé go pretty undrinkable after 2/3 days.

What about 7 deadly zinfandel? :^)

i would say steep for two days in a fine red wine at room temperature. that should be plenty of time

after the 2 day steeping period ,could you just forget about the bottle and drink later on ,like a month later and it would still taste good?

You could do that with hard liquor, but not with wine. If you open a bottle of red wine, you've only got about a week before it starts tasting really sour.

Lol can you put those special tops on it that add air back in so it doesn't fermit further.

You can steep it in wine (~20g/bottle) for a few days (add some honey/agave)

This is quite a tedious task! If only I had a carafet lol. I had to drink a glass of wine to get the 20g to fit in too... but I am looking forward to the results at the weekend.

For information, I'm using:

~22g Nelumbo nucifera (this may not be the proper blue lotus/blue lilly that has noticeable effects)
750ml 2008 Californian Shiraz (13.5% alcohol)

I'll post an update at the weekend.

What are the effects with wine and blue lotus? Anyone know? Because I made a tea and smoked the same variety of blue lotus and noticed no effects. Maybe the alcohol will do the trick.

Fascinating. I have a bunch of blue lotus sitting around because I bought it for changa but sort of aborted those experiments so I just had a bunch left lying around. I can't wait to try the lotus/wine or lotus/cannabis mixes :lol:

No effects :-(

Maybe I'll have better luck with the blue lilly.
