I've tried making a tea with the flowers, which I can handle, but you state that the remaining herb can be eaten. I'm not a picky eater, but I really can't eat the hops. It's so bitter and awful. Would you recommend I just switch to a powder, or can I increase my dosage and just drink the tea, or something else?
Hi, you don't have to eat the remaining hops. For hops, the tea should be enough.
As long as the tea by itself works for any herb, that's all you need. Eating the remaining herb from the tea helps to get a fuller range of phytochemicals, depending on the herb, and taking part of the remaining herb is an option. You can also have tea for one dose, and use a capsule for another. The dosage doesn't have to be high, doses work better from 250mg to 500mg at a time. 1,000mg often works for some herbs, but way higher doses often impedes gains.
