We completed our first mix today by using equal portions of each ingredient. The results were a little disappointing, with a pleasing, somewhat relaxing effect and a mild taste, but something is missing. The overall sense of well-being is not there, which is supposed to be the effect of the sacred lotus. I believe we will double the amount of sacred lotus for the next mix. Also, I did a little more research and found that skullcap, an herb that was widely used by Native Americans, would be a good addition overall. I believe we will try to obtain some skullcap locally and try it in tomorrow's mix as well. There is a local herb shop near where I live that has it. So check back tomorrow and see what progress we have made.
