Today I decided to try a new energy recipe and I will let you know how it goes. I bought some wild harvested Mormon Tea (ephedra) last week and I've been experimenting with it. This morning I am making iced tea out of one tea-ball full of ephedra and one tea bag of Yerba Mate. I am thinking of it as an Ephedra Caffeine Tea, or ECT. I'll let you know how it feels, might be interesting.

Thoughts?

It gave me great energy as I sipped it through the day. Not too jittery and no major crash afterward. I think I've found a new toy!

i'm going to have to find me some

I bought it at a really cool local store that sells all kinds of bulk herbs. I did some reading online and apparently the particular species of Ephedra makes a big difference in the effects it will have. Some species have more methylxanthides than others.

Also, fwiw, the taste is pretty good.

Thanks for the reps, B.

does it come in bags? I've always wanted to get a wild harvested mormon tea bag.

I bought it in bulk and then made tea using coffee filters or a tea ball. I think I paid about $2.00 an oz for it. Now I'm adding it to the filter basket of my coffee maker along with my morning coffee and making eCoffee. It's excellent, you should try it.
