Toss 'n wash is my go-to for taking kratom...once I got the hang of it. I saw an enlightening video of a gal showing how she has mastered toss 'n wash: She gets a spoonful of kratom ready, then tips a small amount of water into her mouth, tilts head back, tips spoon into mouth on top of the water that's already in there, then swallow in one gulp - followed by a swig of water to wash down any residue.
I still have to "visualize" the kratom going down, or there's a good chance it will all end up in the sink!
I'll make tea once in a while, I like it with some french vanilla creamer.
