if you insist on making a beverage of those nasty-tasting seeds, you could consider: adding a bit of something acidic to facilitate extraction of the desired alkoids into an aqueous medium - (something acidic = a squeeze of lemon or lime juice; a pinch vit C or citric acid; phosphoric acid; acetic acid (vinegar); a drop of muriatic acid (HCl); etc...........) me bro' says it tastes ridiculously awful... i suppose you could try sweetening it, or adding spices or other flavoring agents, but --- it is the nature of alkaloids to taste VERY bitter... ~ besides, it is so easy to extract a reasonably pure solid material (and the pretty orange-yellow crystalline harmine + harmaline hydrochlorides (@ 95%+ purity) can easily be put into capsules, or even just absorbed sublingually, or stirred into water or juice, or prepped into a freebase form & smoked, or whatever...) (a pound of syrian rue seeds can be purchased for under $US 20, & could yield between 5 & 10 grams (or even more) of crystals, & a gram or harmine/harmaline HCl is like 5-6 adequate (full MAOi-level) doses; so certainly less that $1/"dose") (& using a fairly pure extract may eliminate exposure to some of the stranger alkaloids (up to half of the P harmala seed alkaloids are not beta-carboline MAOi chems) & such that are found in these seeds, with anticholinergic or uterotinic or androgenic properties, etc...)

it's not that bad, it tastes like bad coffee. But it also is a great place to start extraction's using acid/base since its soo cheap to get make a big batch.

Why not just grind up the rue and swallow it or put it into caps?

I doubt very much a health food store will have it. Try a syrian market if there are any in your area. Vietnamese places won't have it. You can order it fairly cheaply online, just look around. Om chi herbs sometimes has it.

iamshaman is definatly awesome. if you are going to take it and you have sensitive tastebuds, i say grind it up and parachute it. i wouldn't take the seeds raw any other way, and the tea stinks up my house something aweful. and be careful, the difference between 3g and 5g is the difference between a good time and a night next to the toilet.
and watch out for that aphrodesiac effect...
