Questions about SWIMS first tea
So, SWIM made their first batch of tea today and has a few questions.
1. How many grams of ground pods would equal 2-5 dried pods with seeds? (SWIM ground up about 15-20 pods all at once and saved them)
2. After making the tea, how long can SWIM keep it for? SWIM made about 10-12 oz of tea for their first batch.(using approx. 7 grams of ground pods) SWIM took two big gulps at first with minimal fuzzy/itchy feeling. Then approx. 6 hours later took 2 more big gulps with a slightly more fuzzy/itchy feeling. SWIM put the leftover tea in the fridge for later consumption.
3. SWIM wants to know if lime juice really aids in the process.
SWIM did not have a coffee maker, so SWIM put a couple coffee filters around the lid of a mason jar and secured it witha rubber band. SWIM then put the ground up pods in the coffee filters and slowly put warm water and lime juice into the grounds until about 10-12 oz of tea were made. Swim then re filtered the tea through the ground pods again to get any remaining alkaloids. SWIM wants to know if this process works good enough or if SWIM should try another method.

Also,
SWIM is also concerned about codeine allergy. In SWIMS experiences, with codeine, he has always had a slight allergic reaction to it(always with tylenol 3 SWIM was prescribed it when he broke his leg in high school) SWIM has NO allergic reactions to hydrocodone, morphine, percocet, methadone, dilaudid etc.. and normally takes anywhere from 20-40 mg of percocet or hydrocodone a day. SWIM wants to know, Is there any way to make the tea and isolate only the morphine alkaloid, or does the codeine always come with it?
SWIM just tried the stovetop method for making the tea and he took a few gulps about 20 min ago and is waiting results.
Are any of you allergic to codeine in pill form, but able to drink the tea and not suffer any allergic reactions???
