RUE AND CONFUSA
This is a recipe for how I got a very potent extraction, in about 5-6 hr. Initially, I'd like to start with the errors I made with my first extraction. I had bought some Trueno, or allegedly so, from a merchant off Ebay. It was 100 g, that did not produce any results after consuming 50 g. From what I've researched, if it were real Black vine, I would have experienced some effects at 10-25 g. With other types of Caapi, it's around 30-100 g for a good dose. It's also possible I could have over boiled, or a mixture of both; bad cooking technique, and poor quality vine. Here is a list of changes I made for the second extraction. Let me know if anyone would like to add to this list.
ERRORS
1. Don't boil. Only lightly simmer. Don't use so much water either. An amount of 250-350 per wash is more than enough.
2. You risk the chance of burning the brew, by brewing longer periods with less water.
3. Don't use lemon, use white vinegar instead. Lemon juice has about 5-6 % citric acid. White vinegar tends to have 7 % acetic acid. Due to the higher acidity, this may provide a better extraction. Also, citric acid only has a partial dissociation ionization content, pKa at equal pH's.
4. Use steel pot. Not aluminum.
5. Grind all ingredients to powder before dropping in water at all. This ensures you purify the most alkaloid content possible.
6. Do not filter hot liquid in plastic containers. Use a steel pan, crock pot or glass container.
7. Don't slowly sip brew. Take 1 reasonable dose, quickly.
8. Do not filter after reduction, plant alkaloids may be lost.
INGREDIENTS
1. 22 g of Syrian Rue (5.5 g) ground
2. 50 g of Acacia Confusa (12.5 g) ground
3. Vitamin C tabs at 500 g(6)
4. White Vinegar
5. Distilled water - 200 ml(6) / 7-8 oz. each
6. Honey for aftertaste
7. 2 small plastic containers for shaking
8. 2 small 4 oz. glass bottles for infusions
EXTRACTION
1. Put contents into each shaker, i.e., 1 tbsp. white vinegar, 1 ground vitamin c tab, the plant powder, 7-8 oz. water and mix every 5 minutes for 30 minutes.
2. The water may be be cold or warm, shaking will heat up the mixture some to help with alkaloid extraction, without fearing melting points with extreme boils.
3. Shake both at the same time. Filter separately, only 1 time for each wash. Do this 2 more times.
4. Take filtered liquid and simmer for 30 min. each, in a stainless steel pot. Add the powder material from each plant back into the filtered liquid at this point.
5. Filter out plant powder after 30 minutes from the pot. Simmer for another 30 min. to 1.5 hr. to reduce.
6. If you only have 1 pot, then wait until first plant is reduced. Rinse pan, add the other plant powder and washes, simmer then reduce.
7. Total extraction time = about 5 hr. or more, if reducing longer.
NOTES
1. This will make 4 doses when both the Rue and Confusa are reduced to 4 oz. each. I pour my infusion into 2 4z glass bottles.
2. 1 oz. or 2 tbsp. = 12.5 g Confusa, and 5.5 g Rue.
3. A strong dose is 1 oz (2 tbsp.) = 5.5 g Rue and 1.5 oz. (3 tbsp.) = 18.75 g Confusa. This is what I had had and it lasted for 4 hours. I peaked for about 2 of those hours.
4. A normal dose is 1 tbsp. = 2.75 g Rue, and 1 tbsp. = 6.25 g Confusa.
5. A micro dose for meditative purposes is 1 tsp. = .91 g Rue, and 1 tsp. = 2.08 g Confusa.
LOG
5:30
Drank 2 tbsp. of Rue = 1 oz. at 5.5 g total
5:45
Drank 3 tbsp. of Confusa = 1.5 oz. at 18.75 g total.
6:00
Feeling weird, nauseous.
6:15-8:00
Out of body experience. Purged 3 times.
Going in deep.
Seeing visions, hearing voices, going into hyperspace.
8:00-10:00
Returning back to normal.
10:00-11:00
Normal. In total the duration came to be, about 5 hours.
At 3:00 PM, I am very euphoric and content.
DOSAGE
CUP SIZE .5 at 50 g Confusa
Total Cups = .5 cup
Total Ounces = 4 oz.
4 oz. = 118.294 ml
118.294 ml = 2.36 doses at 50 ml
50 ml = 1.6907 oz.
50 g / 4 oz. = 12.5 g per 1 oz. (.25 cup = 2 oz. * 12.5 g) 25 g
50 g / 4 oz. = 12.5 g per 1 oz. (.5 cup = 4 oz. * 12.5 g) 50 g
APPROXIMATE 50 ml DOSAGES
(1:50 ml) 50 g = (12.5 g * 1.6907 oz.) 21.13 g
(2:50 ml) 50 g = (12.5 g * 3.3814 oz.) 42.26 g
APPROXIMATE tbsp. DOSAGES
5 tbsp. = 2.5 oz. = 31.25 g
3 tbsp. = 1.5 oz. = 18.75 g
1.5 tbsp. = .75 oz. = 9.37 g
1 tbsp = .5 oz. = 6.25 g
