The Process Of Making Kratom Extracts At Home

Now that you know why to make Kratom extracts at home, let’s delve into the step-by-step process of making your extract on your kitchen table.

Kratom Extract Ingredients

Users should have their ingredients together before starting their extract. This will ensure that they do not have to pause in the middle of the process to look for an ingredient.

Gather the following ingredients:

• Kratom powder
• Either ethanol or ethyl alcohol is recommended for kratom extracts. You can opt for 40% concentrated alcohol, such as vodka or rum. You cannot use rubbing alcohol, as it contains harmful chemicals that create toxic fumes.
• Citric acid or lemon juice helps with the efficiency of the extraction process. When making an alcohol-based extract, it will help stabilize it and slow down the evaporation rate.

Equipment Needed For The Process

• Digital scales to help you accurately evaluate your kratom powder. This will allow you to determine how potent your extract is.
• Measuring cup for measuring out liquids.
• pH strips to determine the acidity level of your kratom extract.
• Tinted bottles to store your extract in. These bottles will protect the extract from light and preserve the alkaloids. For those who plan to use kratom extract long term, it may be a good investment to get bottles that have droppers.
• Mason jars
• Fine strainer to help with separation.

Steps For Making The Best Kratom Extract

1. Begin by choosing the strain of kratom powder that you want to use. The effects of the extract will highly depend on the strain you choose.
2. Measure your kratom. If you are looking for an amount that will fit into a tincture bottle, users will want to use a small amount. You can experiment with various amounts once you have gone through the process several times.
3. Mix kratom and ethanol. Alcohol-based extracts will last longer than water-based extracts. You can use distilled water to make your extracts.
4. Place the kratom in the jar and ensure it does not take up more than half of the jar. Then submerge with alcohol or water. You will want to use a 1:4 ratio for kratom and alcohol. Make sure you mix well.
5. Combine the citric acid with the kratom and alcohol mixture to help the extraction process while preserving alkaloids. Note that citric acid is not Vitamin C, as it is a weak liquid organic acid that can be found at your local grocery store. Alternatively, you could also use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
6. Use the pH strips to check the acidity. You will want it to reach pH4. Once it hits this level, you can stop adding citric acid. If you add too much, it will be too acidic, which may cause canker sores in the mouth.
7. Add glycerin to your mixture. There is no recommended amount, as this step is optional. It simply helps break down the byproducts of oils and fats. Ensure that the result maintains the 1:4 ratio. Glycerin can be an excellent alternative for those who cannot drink alcohol or have a health condition requiring very little sugar.
8. Once the blend is in a sealed jar, users will want to shake it vigorously. Do this until the liquid has a smooth consistency. Once this is done, choose one of the following methods to proceed with:
   1. Place the jar in a cool dark area for a week.
   2. Place the jar in a pot of hot water and let sit for about an hour. Repeat this process two more times.
   3. Place the jars in a crockpot and cook them on low for about 3 days.
9. Once your mixture has been set for the allotted time, you will want to use your strainer or cheesecloth to strain your liquid efficiently. Any remaining leaves or particles will need to be thrown away.
10. Put the liquid back into the jars and leave it to evaporate. Once half of the liquid disappears, pour your tincture into bottles. Be patient because this part of the process will take time.

What Are The Different Methods Of Kratom Extraction?

Water-Based Extract

While water-based extracts are less potent than alcohol-based ones, they are still viable. To make a water-based extract, you will use raw kratom leaves. They can either be dissolved in a mixture of ethanol and water. You will want to add some citric acid to help preserve your tincture. You can follow the steps we listed above to make your water-based extract.

Once blended, the mixture must be left in a dark place for 1 to 2 weeks to steep. You will strain it and let half of the liquid evaporate. Glycerin can be added to help balance out the acidity.

Tea Extract

Tea is one of the simplest forms of kratom extract. It is simply steeped in water to make a tea you can drink. It does not require a lot of preparation, and you can access it whenever you want.

Remember that kratom tea is mildly concentrated unless left to steep for a long time. Kratom tea is easy to flavor, and you can combine more than one strain into your extract. Do not make your water too hot, as this will affect the alkaloids.

Resin

Resin is a semi-solid and highly concentrated form of kratom rather than a liquid. Making them at home is quite difficult but faster than water-based extracts.

Add water to your kratom powder; make sure to mix it well and add lemon juice. Once steeped overnight, you will want to freeze the mixture solid. Add the frozen kratom to boiling water, add lime juice, and allow it to simmer until at least a quarter of the water is gone.

After the mixture cools, strain and simmer it with water and juice again. Ensure that the water is soaked and add it to an oven-safe dish. It should not be more than 3 inches deep. Cook at 150 to 210 degrees. Once the water becomes vapor, a thick resin will be left behind.

Comparison Between The Three Types Of Kratom Extracts

Storage

While storing your homemade Kratom extracts, it is important to keep them in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage helps to preserve the freshness and potency of your best Kratom extract. Consider using resealable or airtight containers to minimize exposure to air and prevent oxidation.

Since a lot goes into making an extract, manufacturers typically charge more for kratom extract products. Many vendors choose not to offer extracts because of the additional investment that it calls for. Proper kratom testing is vital to ensure that the products the vendors receive to sell to customers are unadulterated. 

Without this rigorous testing, vendors risk getting imported contaminated kratom and the need to discard loads of products. This can lead to large sums of money being lost, which is why many kratom vendors do not offer extracts.
