#Add kratom powder to just enough water to cover it. The mixture should be a thick liquid/mud with not too much water. One should mix this well. Add the juice of half a lime/lemon and a few dashes of vinegar and leave overnight (~10 hours).

#Pour thick alkaloid saturated water into the oven dish (the wider the better for evaporation) then into the oven. The solution should be no more than 3 cm deep (otherwise evaporation will take ages).

#Set the oven to fan and around 70 - 100 degrees Celsius (depending how much you trust the internal thermometer of the oven). Remember, if the mixture/solutions reach a temperature higher than 100 degrees Celsius then there is a high risk of alkaloid loss. Keep the oven door ajar to encourage evaporation. Check every 30 minutes (mine took around 4 hours, but I have an awful oven).
