I have a jar of B.Caapi (
only) tea sitting in the back of my fridge, that has been there for about 4-5 months.
It was made using the
Cold Filter Extraction method (
The Herbal Percolator), with just water & a tiny bit of Phosphoric Acid to acidify the pH of the water a little (
used in brewing beer & making wine etc...).
Then I used 1/2 an egg white to filter out the tannins etc... And filtered out the egg white completely!!
I tried it soon after I made it & it was
definitely active, quite potent even.
So it has now been sitting undissturbed for long enough that there is a nice sized layer of something collected on the bottom.
I attached some pics. (
sorry for the shitty res.)
I'm wondering if this is the Harmala Alkaloids collecting on the bottom.
It didn't start showing for about a month & a half, or longer.
I have screwed up the filtering of the egg white before & it looked somewhat similar, but it fell out of the solution in a few hours, not months. Also, this looks more like solids. Wet, saturated solids, but solids.
More like the purple dirt that adds up on the bottom of a flask of acidic Mimosa water, after sitting in the fridge over night.
So What do you guys think??
If it is Harmalas falling out of the tea, could I carefully decant off the golden liquid, collect & dry these for use?
Thanks!!
