I am looking for the most effective way to make a brew, but the problem is I only have 4 grams mimosa. I cannot afford to screw this up. Can someone tell me if this method will work with a small amount, or what would you do?


My plan is to let the mimosa soak in some distilled water in the fridge for 3 days. When I am ready, I will turn the stove to the lowest setting. The only little pot I have is old and nasty so I will fill with water and boil my brew inside a mason jar inside the pot.

Once I bring it to a very soft boil, I will strain(using a mesh bag I use for brewing beer). I will add more vinegar/water, and boil/strain again 2 more times. On final strain, I will squeeze the shit out of the mesh bag to get remaining liquid.

Last step, I will put maybe a half gram to a gram of gelatin in the liquid. From what I understand is I don't have to heat it? I just stir until it hardens and sinks to the bottom?


After all the research I have done, I have a terrible migraine so am really hopin I got it right. Would this be the proper way to get a good brew with such little amount? Would any of these steps possibly ruin the alkaloid content? I am a little iffy on the gelatin part.

Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks



Edit: If you find anything wrong with the below method, I do have naphta and sodium hydroxide, but seems kinda pointless for small ammounts

From my understanding, mimosa alone (without an additional RIMA-containing plant brew) is traditionally brewed using a "cold-soak" method. I believe I remember reading somewhere that heating the solution as one would when brewing yagé could potentially destroy the alkaloid(s) which is/are responsible for Mimosa hostilis being orally active. This would mean that your brew would still contain all of the DMT, but it would have no effect when consumed.

If I were you, I would look into traditional "cold-soak" jurema negra brewing methods. You could also try grinding the rootbark into a fine powder, putting it in capsules, and swallowing the capsules; but I am not 100% certain that this is an effective method for jurema alone.

Sorry I forgot to mention that this will be taken with 3-4 grams syrian rue.

Ah ok. I am no aya/anahuasca expert, but it looks good to me.

I might suggest that you make sure the mason jar is not touching the bottom of the pot, as this could crack the glass.

If you are iffy on the gelatin part, then you could skip it. Removing tannins is not completely necessary, but many people seem to prefer it. Egg whites could also be used, IIRC.

Ok turns out I have less than I thought. I have 3.5g rue and 3g mimosa. Im wondering if I should just drink it straight?

Honestly, I don't mind if I get a little sick. But I do have a supra-ventricular tachycardia so I am at a much higher risk of hypertension than most people. I'm thinkin that if I clear out the toxins it will help alot with my heart, or atleast prevent negative feelings that may cause me to panic. But at the same time, I only have 3 grams mimosa so I don't want to screw this up.

Has anyone extracted this small of an amount for a single dose with success? Luckily im a lightweight. I do have sodium hydroxide and naphta but that kind of extraction seems pointless with this small amount.

I dug up my jars I used for freeze precipitation separation from a previous extraction. There are 6 jars and each had quite a bit of residue left from me scraping. Iwarmed up some water and swooshed it around each jar with a little lemon juice. I actually got a little more technical and simmered each jar in a pot(put a rag at bottom of pot so jar doesn't crack). Anyways, now im scared to do this because I don't know how much content I have lol

I am thinking I may try to simmer it and evaporate to get salt. Of course, unless someone says otherwise. I used a little lemon juice(stupid me) to help pick up the residue from each jar and transfer all the goodies to one jar. I hope it sitting in lemon juice that long doesn't destroy the alkaloid contents.

What do you guys think? I doubt anyone will see this tonight so it prob doesnt matter lol but who knows?
