Here is what you do with those poppies:
Chop pods into small chunks: approx 14 dry or 10 fresh (prefer fresh) per
person
Boil water in a glass or porcelain pot
Lay a thin piece of fabric (like cheescloth) in a strainer and then put the
chopped poppies in that,
hold or rest the strainer over a bowl made of glass, plastic or porcelain
and pour the boiling water over the poppies. Quickly take up the fabric and
tie the top with rubber band creating a little tea bag then cover and let
steep for 20-30 minutes depending on how strong you want the tea.
When ready squeeze your cloth tea bag well, thick urine colored oil should
ooze out of the bag, That Is What You Want, you will know you have done it
right when you see that oil. Squeeze as much oil as possible then try
drinking it.
Be warned, it tastes like shit, so bad that we decided koolaid, sugar and
ice was the only way. It can cause vomiting and some people get higher than
others. This tea can lay you out, cause you to puke and nod off, it can also
be fun and sensual in proper dosages. Tolerance builds fast and it is
illegal to make this tea.
The most common mistake with the tea is to boil the poppies, a chemist
friend assured me that opium molecules are destroyed at boiling
temperatures. This pour and steep method is the best.
Let a little dry over night in a teacup and the oil will be scrapable the
next day.
Also lacerating the pods and collecting the resin to smoke will work but I
think the tea makes a good use of all the material.
