Poppy seed tea

The following preparation is a method of creating poppy seed tea using generic poppy seeds bought at the supermarket (which are the same type used for bagels).

Warning

Poppy seed tea contains varying concentrations of various opiate alkaloids including codeine, morphine, and thebaine. Because lethal overdose is entirely possible if tolerance is low and too many opiate alkaloids are consumed, it is important to work out a suitable dosage. Reports on Erowid[1] suggest an average dose to be 2-4 large pods, so in my example 10 pods weighed 44g, meaning that ~3 pods is around 15g of powder.

Equipment and ingredients

1-2 pots
Stirring spoon
Intended dosage of generic supermarket poppy seeds (400 grams or more)
Large mixing bowl
Strainer/sieve
Stove
Kettle (optional)
Citric acid, vinegar, or lemon juice (optional)
Grapefruit juice (optional)

Procedure

Pour your intended dosage of generic poppy seeds into a medium or large pot.
Boil water in a kettle or a separate pot. Once boiled, pour the water into the pot that has the poppy seeds.
Stir the pot that contains the poppy seeds and boiled water for _____ minutes. You will not have to stir for very long because the desired opiate alkaloids are contained in the outer coating of the seeds.
