How To Use Blue Lotus Flower (Smoking, Drinking & Infusing)

Start by obtaining high-quality dried Blue Lotus Flower petals or whole flowers. You can find these at specialty herbal stores or reputable online retailers, like us! Ensure that the Blue Lotus is organic and free from any additives or contaminants.

For a potent infusion, use between 5 and 15 grams of dried Blue Lotus Flower petals or whole flowers per 250ml (1 cup) of high-proof alcohol. Adjust the quantity according to the desired strength and size of your infusion.

Select a high-proof alcohol of your choice, such as vodka, rum, brandy or wine. The higher the alcohol content, the more effectively it will extract the active compounds from the Blue Lotus Flower.

Use a clean and dry airtight glass jar or bottle to hold the Blue Lotus Flower and alcohol. Optionally, choose a dark glass container to protect the infusion from light, which can degrade the botanical compounds over time.

Carefully place the measured Blue Lotus Flower petals or whole flowers into the glass jar or bottle. Pour the high-proof alcohol over the botanicals, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Tightly seal the glass jar or bottle to prevent evaporation and contamination. Store the infusion in a cool, dark place, such as a cupboard or pantry. Allow it to steep for at least 2 to 4 weeks to extract the Blue Lotus Flower's essence fully.

To enhance the extraction process, gently shake the glass jar or bottle once every few days. This helps disperse the botanical compounds and promote even infusion.

After the steeping period is complete, strain the Blue Lotus Flower-infused alcohol through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. This ensures that your infused alcohol contains no plant matter. Discard the used botanicals.

If you prefer a sweeter flavour, you can add a small amount of honey or sugar to the strained infusion. Stir gently until the sweetener dissolves.

Your Blue Lotus Flower alcohol infusion is now ready to enjoy. Sip it neat, mix it into cocktails, or use it as a unique addition to your favourite beverages.
