Dfz, yes I have. The tea always fails to give a full on experience but still the quality is priceless. With eating, combining with a good light plant is an absolute miracle for me. Extremely deep, connective and comprehensive. With eating you have a window of a day or two to consume as the alkaloids are metabolized quickly with the growth of the roots. And yes, soaking in cold water for a few hours leads to a significant loss (the water is quite potent). Even if you pour only just enough for the seeds to soak and then have nothing to drain, the seeds are significantly weakened. I also suspect the alkaloids in the rootlings, while giving a wonderful contribution, suppress the seeds in a tea, as I have experienced this when I tried mixing mature rue root material to the seed brew before. Also rue seeds get suppressed by pretty much any plant that does not have a good amount of DMT when boiled together (unlike Caapi stem which is robust and dominant).
It really is not an easy process. Rue is not an easy plant.
