2025-02-19 at 6:41 PM UTClol man, thats not something you just do.
You need lab equipment and chemicals and good luck getting things like hydrochloric acid, formic acid, aluminum amalgam, methylamine etc.
That said, i believe the outer bark of the root contains the highest concentration of safrole. You peel the thin outer layer and keep the inner bark.
Safrole has a sweet, root beer-like aroma. You should be able to smell it if its present.
You could do a simple extraction i guess, but i can usually smell it.
Also, Rest in piece. There's an actual chance of you blowing up. -

2025-02-21 at 7:59 AM UTC1: You take the outer bark.
2: You peel the thin outer layer of the outer bark
3: You throw the thin layer away.
4: You use the remaining bark.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
