Blue Lotus Flowers
8,00 € – 14,20 €
Dried flowers of the famous Blue Lotus. They are famous for their beauty, their intoxicating aroma and their symbolism. The Blue Lotus (or to be more precise, the Blue Lily) was used in ritual contexts by the cultures of Ancient Egypt. For the Ancient Egyptians it was a plant with deep symbolic meaning – they associated it with the rising and setting of the sun, with the sun god and the story of the creation of the world.
When Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb was opened, archaeologists discovered Blue Lotus flowers that had been left all over his body. These flowers were originally thought to have a purely symbolic meaning, but evidence from various researches indicates that the Egyptians used them to enter transcendental states of euphoria and visions, possibly in combination with other plants.
The Egyptians used to smoke N.Caerulea flowers or powdered extracts. But much more famous is another practice of using it. The flowers were soaked in wine for a period of at least 2 weeks. Then the drink was strained to leave only the liquid. The end result was a special aphrodisiac wine that is known to this day. Others used to first boil the leaves for hours – then strain off the water and mix it with the plant's powdered flowers. When the water evaporated, they were left with a powdered plant extract like the one we have. They then steeped the extract in wine as they would with the leaves, "smashed" it into smaller amounts in tea, or smoked it.
The Ancient Egyptians used the Blue Lotus flowers to enter a phase of introspection-meditation with sexual overtones. They believed its use was essential to maintaining good health and used it to enhance memory, relieve pain and improve blood circulation.

Blue Lotus Wine
Steeping raw herb into wine / other drinks :
Traditionally the ancient Egyptians soaked the flower petals of N.caerulea/other related plants in wine. Both N.caerulea and N.nucifera flower petals can be used successfully.
After at least 2 weeks of the plant mass remaining in the wine - after the daily intensive "shaking" of the bottle - the Egyptians strained the liquid keeping only the wine. The end result is a drink with mild/moderate euphoric and aphrodisiac effects.
Anecdotal reports indicate the following way of manufacturing :
1. Let's say we are going to use 500 ml of wine. We take at least 30 grams of raw N.caerulea or N.nucifera and grind them. We place them in a glass jar with a capacity of 500 ml.
2. We cover the trimmed flowers with wine. It is better to use wine with intense sweet taste.
3. Place the jar in a dark place. Once a day, for a period of at least 2 weeks, we will vigorously shake the jar. The jar will be shaken for at least 1 minute. If the grounds are left in the jar for 1 month, the wine will be stronger – although anecdotally users report that 2 weeks is enough for the effects to be felt.
4. After at least 2 weeks, strain the contents of the jar. We press intensely the trimmed flower mass that will be placed in the strainer so that the last drops of the "distillate" come out.
5. The wine is ready and can be placed in a nice bottle with a funnel – the perfect gift for a good friend. Or for a couple who wants to have a good time :). The effects will be noticeable if everyone consumes at least 250 ml.
Lotus Tea
1. Place 250 - 500 ml water in a crockpot.
2.. After water boils, add 2 tablespoons of dry flowers.
3. The mixture is being boiled for 7-10 minutes.
(Not a crucial step)Add 1 tablespoon honey or sugar, if nescessary.
5. The mixture is being strained in a cup. The tea is ready.
Smoking or Vaping Lotus
Smoking or even vaping are the most unhealthy practices of using an herb. It can prove harmful to health or even fatal in the long run.
White Lotus can be smoked in a herb pipe or even a water pipe (bong). Usually about 150-300+ mg is used. Others choose to twist it into cigarettes in combination with cannabis flowers. It is a very good ingredient for DIY smokeless herbal smoking blends.
Others choose the more "lung-friendly" practice of vaping. Pink Lotus can be vaporized from a dried herb vaporizer at a temperature of 100-125 C.
Caution :Lotuses can cause tolerance issues and psychological dependence for some individuals. The cautious friends of Lotuses do not consume those plants more than once per month.
