Simple LSA extraction: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

#Depending on the desired dosage, 4 to 12 seeds should be crushed using a mortar and pestle or a hammer and then put into the water.

#The water should be then put into a fridge for at least 4 hours or more and covered in something such as tinfoil or a paper bag to avoid exposure to light when the fridge is opened.

#After the water has been refrigerated; a finely chopped up garlic clove should be added to the water for 30 minutes and stirred periodically to significantly reduce if not completely eliminate the [[nausea]] and "body load". This ~~works~~ because the sulfur in garlic ~~removes~~ the cyanogenic glycosides within the seed matter. ~~These are the cause of any pronounced bodily discomfort~~, ~~not the~~ LSA ~~itself~~.

#After the water has been refrigerated; a finely chopped up garlic clove should be added to the water for 30 minutes and stirred periodically to significantly reduce if not completely eliminate the [[nausea]] and "body load". This is believed to work because the sulfur in garlic has been speculated to remove the cyanogenic glycosides within the seed matter, although this has yet to be validated scientifically. However, it should be noted that LSA is capable of producing nausea on its own in certain conditions.{{citation needed}}

#A small amount of fruit juice can be added to help eliminate the taste of the seed matter.

#Sieve out the seed matter and garlic, and this can be discarded of. Sieving through a fine material such as an old t-shirt or a paper filter to remove every last bit of seed matter will help greatly.
