Some may disagree that Ayahuasca tastes good, but everything is relative and if you compare it to the taste of extracted harmala salts (I'm mostly familiar with the acetates and citrates and they're not that different, so I'm assuming all salts taste equally bad; please correct me if I'm wrong) then it's like honey.
If the tea contains harmala salts, why don't I taste them when I drink it? Something must be masking that vile, revolting bitterness. I've tried mixing harmala salts with honey and it didn't help much (it wasn't much honey though, more might make a difference?).
I've noticed that when I mix my harmalas with vine tea and DMT-plant tea, it does help to an extent; of course the higher the tea / extracted harmalas ratio, the better the taste gets. Could it be the dilution? Or something in those teas - perhaps certain types of sugars that are especially good at masking the harmala taste, or even some tannins that trap them?
And most importantly, could this taste-bud heaven effect of Ayahuasca be replicated without using Ayahuasca plants? Maybe by adding other plant material, like random sticks picked up in the park and decocted?
