hi whereismyhigherself,
there is ayahuasca - where you use the whole plant materials to brew a tea
and there is pharma - where you use extracts.
If you are worried about doing things discretely you are probably better off doing an aya brew, because it doesn't involve extracting with chemicals and safety goggles etc.
If you already have both extracts however (dmt + harmalas) then pharma is of course easiest.
For aya I suggest you read up on it in the aya section on how to brew it. I think 3x3 hours of brewing caapi vine is standard, so it will take a while... Not sure at which point you add the admixture (the dmt containing plant). You will also want to check what dosage is a good place to start. Me not having any experience with aya, I can't give any advice other than start with what you would expect to be a low-medium dose.
Also ayahuasca can be taken without dmt and still be a healing experience. Even the caapi extract has some very nice effects on its own. In small doses it will make you overall more positive and function as an anti-depressant. On higher doses it will sedate you a bit and give you dreamy visions.
If you do choose pharma my advice would be to take the maoi and the dmt almost simultaneously. This has worked very well for in the past. I like to dissolve both in water, or the dmt-salts I will also dissolve in juice, but no the harmalas (it will make them taste more horrendous than you want to imagine). I use little shot glasses for this purpose, shoot the harmalas first, rinse the glass to get all of the left over stuff. Then shoot the dmt. Since this can take considerable courage to do (mostly because of the taste) it takes me 5-10 minutes to do it

Some people like to wait longer between maoi and dmt administration but in the traditional brews as I understand it they are mixed anyway. Also as far as I know MAOIs like harmalas start working extremely fast so there is no loss of potency when you take them together.
If you delay the dmt administaration you may end up purging before the dmt has fully absorbed and thus you'd waste some.
best of luck with your endeavor.
cheers & love

Buon viso a cattivo gioco!
