Welcome to the Nexus!

Would you share with us this recipe so that we can give feedback on it?

Personally I think doing a rue extraction is worth it, at least a crude manske extract, to get rid of the unwanted alkaloids that are in rue appart from harmalas. Check the wiki harmala extraction guide, you can do it with foodsafe material, its easy enough. 

But yeah you can also try at least once doing with whole rue, I did that before but now I preffer either caapi for full brew or extracting rue alkaloids. 

Good luck! Hope to see more from you around!
