Extremely Simple Cold Water Ayahuasca Brewing Technique
DISCLAIMER: I do not encourage you to break the law or to do anything your mother would not approve of and this guide is purely for informational purposes only. You have been warned. I am not responsible for your actions.


Things needed:
For 1 dose of Ayahuasca
- Mimosa Hostilis root bark
- 3 – 5 grams of Syrian Rue seed matter
- Water
- Jar
- Sieve / piece of cloth
- Paper filter
How it’s done:
Step 1
The root bark is blended into a powder or twisted and shredded as finely as possible by hand and then placed into the jar.
Step 2
The water is then poured into the jar and should just about submerge the root bark. Compressing the root bark down will make it so that the smallest amount of water possible can be used.
Step 3
The Jar is left to sit somewhere cool such as the fridge for 3 – 5 days, during this time it needs to be shaken 2 -3 times a day.
Step 4
After it’s been left to sit for a few days, the root bark should be then sieved out, either using a piece of material such as an old tshirt, the remaining liquid should be squeezed out of the material and then further filtered through a filter paper. Filtering the liquid through a filter paper isn’t technically necessary, but it will help eliminate the nausea and taste in leaps and bounds.
Step 5
The liquid is then ready to be consumed and washed down with a drink such as a fruit juice to help with the taste.
Dosage onset and Duration:
Threshold: 5g - 7g
Light: 7g - 10g
Moderate: 10g - 20g
Strong: 20g +
(Dosage for the mimosa hostilis root bark)
If one were to consume ayahuasca, they would need to start off with a low dose, and work their way up accordingly with each trip.
Onset: 20 minutes – 4 hours
Duration: 2 – 6 hours
Normal After Effects up to 8 hours
Consumption
The Syrian rue, needs to be taken 15 - 20 minutes before the root bark is swallowed and can be consumed by simply washing the seed matter down on a teaspoon and a drink.
The Syrian rue can also be placed into gelcaps if this is preferable.
Precautions
Syrian rue is an RIMA meaning dietary restrictions can be largely ignored as syrian rue does not contain an MIAO, although it is advisable not to consume large quantities of alcohol or tyramine containing foods.
Although RIMAs are generally safer than MAOIs, they still have highly dangerous interactions when combined with almost any antidepressant or stimulant, as it can cause serotonin syndrome or hypertensive crisis.

Things needed:
For 1 dose of ayahuasca
- 5-10 grams of Mimosa Hostilis root bark
- 2 grams of Syrian Rue seed matter
- 1 empty tea bags, or 1 empty zip lock bags.
- 1 stainless steel or ceramic pots, no aluminum.
- Vinegar
- empty gel capsules
How it’s done:
Step 1
The mimosa hostilis root bark is pulverized and shredded into a stringy/powdery consistency, the finer the root bark the better.
This is done by either using a coffee grinder, or using a blender, or just twisted and shredded by hand works too.
If you are brewing for multiple people it is not necessary to brew the rootbark across individual pots, just throw it all into one and pour out the liquid at the end into separate containers accordingly.
Step 2
The stainless steel pot is then filled with roughly about 400ml of water and 4 tablespoons of vinegar. The root bark should be submerged into the water and brought to a slow simmer, not boiled, (the lowest setting on the cooker should be used for this) excessive heat will destroy alkaloids.
Once most of the water in the pot has evaporated, more water can be added 2 or 3 or more times to continue the brewing process as the longer it brews the more potent the ayahuasca will be This is optional but recommended, If there is no time to do this at least twice the amount of root bark will need to be added to achieve a similar dosage.
Step 3
Before the water has simmered down to about ¾ of the way down, the root bark should be taken out of the water and left to cool. Once the root bark has cooled down enough, the liquid should be squeezed out of the root bark back in to the pot and the root bark should be discarded of. The water is then further evaporated and what should be left is a small amount of a purple/brown coloured liquid enough to fill a shot glass. Before pouring the liquid out of the pot, egg whites should be added to help eradicate the purge, they will soak up the tannins but not the DMT. The egg whites should then be sieved out of the water once they have hardened and solidified , this step will reduce nausea in leaps and bounds and will chance the Ayahuasca from the consistency of a foul sludge to the consistency of milk.
Step 4
Syrian rue seed matter can be prepared in the same way as the root bark if preferred but the easiest way to prepare Syrian rue is to simply stuff it into empty gel capsules.
If the gel cap technique is used, only 1 gram of Syrian rue is needed and not 2g, or the seeds can simply just be washed down with some fruit juice and swallowed.
Step 5
This takes practice.
Dosage onset and Duration:
Threshold: 5g
Light: 5 – 7g
Moderate: 7 – 10g
Strong: 10g +
(Dosage for the mimosa hostilis root bark)
Onset: 20 minutes – 4 hours
Duration: 2 – 6 hours
Normal After Effects up to 8 hours
Consumption
The Syrian rue, needs to be taken 15 minutes before the root bark if swallowed in liquid form, if the Syrian rue is consumed in gel cap form (the easier route of administration) then it needs to be taken roughly 20-30 minutes before the root bark.
Precautions
Syrian rue is an RIMA meaning dietary restrictions can be largely ignored as syrian rue does not contain an MIAO, although it is advisable not to consume large quantities of alcohol or tyramine containing foods.
Although RIMAs are generally safer than MAOIs, they still have highly dangerous interactions when combined with almost any antidepressant or stimulant, as it can cause serotonin syndrome or hypertensive crisis.
If one were to consume ayahuasca, they would need to start off with a low dose, and work their way up in small increments.
Until you have gained its trust Ayahusca is not a recreational drug. You are a guest in its house, be polite or it will destroy you.
