Just a slow simmer of roughly ground seeds for 10 minutes is enough. Some honey can help to counter the bitterness, I'm the type that hates coffee without sugar  I bet real tea or coffee made by boiling and reducing for hours would taste horrible too! Interesting. I've always read they must be boiled for like 30-45 minutes. I am gonna try your method and see what happens.

I like to eat a couple pinches of rue in the evening or before taking mushrooms. It takes a bit to really kick in, but it works for me. If I am brewing though, I will make tea. It comes on much faster this way. (¯`'·.¸(โฅ)¸.·'´¯ But suddenly you're ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you are alive and it is spectacular!

I assume yield is somewhat lower than with a long boil, but there is less crap in the tea this way and still plenty of harmalas. I grind the seeds in a mortar & pestle and put them in a tea egg that I put in slow boiling/simmering water for 10-15 minutes, stirring and agitating the egg to promote solution. Just experiment with dosage and method, maybe you'll need a bit more than usual - good luck!

I disagree that tea is best. For me tea does work, but the dosage must be upped, and even then the effects are much li9ghter, and i dont feel the same presence i get when capping them. I only get the full experience when I cap 4 grams rue. I have used it hundreds of times, with many admixtures, and for me tea is not effective. You have never been apart from me. You can never depart and never return, for we are continuous, indistinguishable. We are eternal forever

It is crazy to read how mixed all the reports have been with rue. I definitely prefer the capsule method. I take 4 grams in capsules, and it starts to hit me about 30-40 minutes in, every time. And it hits hard, purge too. The couple times I have taken the tea, the purge was barely existent, and one time non-existent, same size dose. I don't know what it is, but capsules are the way to go for me. I guess the only objective comment that i have, is that if you capsulate rue, you are without a doubt getting all the actives, whereas with a tea you may not get 100%. Let the plants guide you, for they teach lessons beyond what we humans can offer.
Distorted is our perception of reality, because reality is much more distorted than we could ever perceive it to be.

I mean I took 4 grams of rue in capsules and nothing happened at all. But then I take 4 grams of the same rue in a tea and it hits me really hard. Defnitely something really strange about rue.

If taking capped rue, make sure it is powdered superfine. Also "unlock" the capsule to it opens up on swallowing. Perhaps this would make all the difference? "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"
