Sometimes when i'm lazy, I'll toss and wash two rounded tablespoons in a small cup of water at once, and call it a night. While preparing a batch and spacing my shells out makes for a better overall experience, I still TnW maybe four times a month. I can't really do this with heady varieties, the cerebral kick is too much. But with say, Mahakea, i get what I need out of it, from a therapeutic/medicinal standpoint.
