For mimo 100% cold process all the way and just enough water so no evaporation is needed.
I used to heat-evap the tea completely to powder, but the cold tec has a (subjective) advantage somehow in the experience with the yuremamine and what else still intact, unharmed by absence of heat.


Distilled water (200 ml) + some drops phosphoric acid to pH 3.
Add 20 gr mimo (very fine powdered), soak minimum 4 days to 1 week, shake few times a day, pH is now 3.3 to 3.5.
Steeping period can be done in fridge no problem, that makes less bulk in the tea, but intuition calls for room temp.
Coffee filter til run trough, then chasing the mark with tads of distilled water to flush remaining actives out the mark into the tea, so to end with 250 ml tea of 20 gr mimo.
(one can opt for several cold washes but for now just one, also to keep the water volume down to prevent reducing/evaping temps)

Suppose a 5 gr tea is aimed, 1/4 of 250 ml = 62.5 ml is measured.
At this pH (3.3 to 3.5) it is quite drinkable (cola is pH 2.8 of same acid).
So one could do maoi and later doing the mimo if wished.

But one can trow in the minimum 400 mg vine extract at this stage already so it dissolves to a great extend under this pH (and max lukewarm temp) which now rises to 5.5 , it is my uncut superstition that the actives are now better absorbed this way and/or have other advantages in the tract. True?
Yummy time , minimizing palate by use of your favorite straw.

The oiled rice trick:
chase with 5 to 10 eating (soup) spoons of oiled rice. Mimo is kind of having a de-greasing/stagnant effect on the tissues (the tannins doing?), the oiled rice seems to make up for that, restoring peristaltic flow or whatever happens in there.

After Tea+1.5 hours, again 5 to 10 spoons of the oiled chinese wonder.

After Tea+2 hours "weird effects" of dye-ing the internals set in.

One can boil the rice far in advance and have it cold, no problem, just be scarce on salt.
So far the oiled rice trick (like adding 1 soup spoon oil and mixing it in 5 spoons of already boiled rice) lend to not one single trace of nausea or stomach discomfort, even no purge, but more tests have to be done. Had wholesome rice so far (lots of fibers) and peanut oil, should check out how things are with fast boiling rice (less fibers) and other oils like sunflower oil or (vegetarian?) butter, but the peanut oil taste just great on rice. Also tests in comb with rue have to come later, as rue makes more stomach/body load. Perhaps people can contribute and report, much appreciated.

When the mimo mark is exhausted, whether boiled or cold tec, no use to ingest it, thus decant.

In the cold tec, when the mimo mark had his water flush in the coffee filter, it becomes 100% tasteless. This is no proof that everything is out, but this is where I draw the line on an intuitive base. One could eat the mark but I hardly believe it is worth the effort/discomfort in relation to whatever tiny % is gained.

The coffee filter is the decant in the cold-tec.

Something was noticed though: if the steep period + shaking is done in room temp, and the crystal clear filtered tea is stored for days in the fridge, some notable sediment forms. Is that actives or worthless plant bulk that just coagulated? To decant that or not? Stirring it all around this clouded the tea that was previously very clear. Considered that it is only plant bulk, ingesting this tiny amount is no big deal at all, so went for not decanting this formed sediment.

Now when the steeping period was done at fridge temps, and the coffee filtering too, then likely this would all have been removed by the paper filter. I find it hard to believe that potency would be less this way.

I could only see 1 reason to not decant: when the extraction of the powder has been done very incomplete or not at all, then the extraction would have to happen in the belly itself.

It is common practices for cacti powder to ingest, but mimo I resign happily for the body discomforts it might induce.

I've read a report of someone ingesting vine powder, seemed very effective in terms of activation, but a massive hell of hardware discomforts getting the powder trough.

The voyages are hard enough on it's own for not bothering with useless body loads, so my take is get the actives out the material and into the liquids and decant/filter the mark as a general rule of neat practices.
