In my experience, Calea tastes too awful to drink as an infusion. My solution has been to grind it to a rather fine powder in a coffee grinder, and mix it into yoghurt. If the yoghurt is eaten quickly, the bitternes of the Calea does not have time to diffuse into the yoghurt, and therefore the Calea poses no difficulty at all. Another possibility is to mix it into cereal with milk - but avoid chewing it for long, because eventually the bitternes comes through.
If a bitter taste lingers afterwards, then eating fresh dates works wonders. A mouth wash may come in handy as well.
I have never personally gone beyond 1.7 grams at once, and the effect has not been earth shattering, but still noticeable.
I would add this as a mild warning: every single time I have ingested Calea before bedtime, I have needed more sleep during the night than normally - typically something like 1-2 hours more. Also, several times I have had a mild headache in the beginning of the following day.
