Me and my buddy just started making Green Dragon. I do admit though Green Dragon is highly a just to chill day kinda way. The best way is to make it on the stove. our 2nd batch we made off of good mids that the guy just harvest not too long ago. Our rule of thumb is 1/8 for 2.5 oz because it obviously will dissolve in the process of making it. When you're cooking it in a mason jar ur results should be the alcohol should turn to almost a black liquid. the blacker you get it the better the tink will be (we call it tink since my last name is tinker :jointsmile. I don't get the burning under the tongue you are talking about ?. Maybe you should let it cool down after making it. If you need future assistance reply.
