I've done the nutmeg thing before trying to get a sense of what the hype is all about. That was 3, maybe 4 years ago, and I don't remember anything spectacular of it, other than damn good sleep that night...Then again, I did shovel it down dry. I was so pre-occupied by the taste, I just might have not noticed anything else.
So now, a few years down the line, with a jar of the powdered nutmeg in the cupboard and a couple of fresh nutmegs in my husband's and my herbal collection, I get a brainfart---why not give it another shot?
I had 1/2 of a one ounce container left in the cupboard, and ground one fresh one into a fine powder, and combined the 2. Filled the container back up, probably was a little over an ounce.
Took that container, tossed it in about 7 cups of water, and let that barely boil for about 45 minutes, til the house smelled (and still does) like a freakin' bakery.
Poured about 1/2 of the sickly looking mixture in a mug, and have been slowly sipping it for around and hour. Doesn't taste too bad....Not the best, but not as bad as eating it straight...Might have tasted better with a dose of crushed cloves in the boil mix...File that one away for future referance...
Now, while I've been drinking this, I realized I wasn't in my email inbox or on IC anymore, I'd started aimlessly wandering the net....Finding it a little hard to concentrate on typing, even, too...Mimics a niiiiiiice moderate pot buzz mentally
Physically, I'm still sore from spending all day yesterday breaking in our new mortar & pestal ( <---it was a fucking pain in the ass) so I'm not noticing any physical effects yet (if at all)
Can't wait to see what the next couple of hours brings
Oh, also, I had a wormwood tea earlier this morning, so I did have some lingering effects from that hanging on, too. Still might, but not likely, this is a lot stronger than the wormwood.
Anybody else done the nutmeg deal? And am I the only one with an iron stomach to do so, and like it?
