So the best way to prepare it is with hot, not boiling water?

I'm having trouble even on google finding a consistent preparation method.

well I mixed to tablespoons with milk and some cocoa in a blender.  I was REALLY feeling it about 40 minutes after consumption.  Only problem is is that i really cant stomach the taste (the cocoa didn't mask it at all). And another problem is that about an hour after I was feeling it I started to get pretty sick feeling and went into the bathroom and vomited up everything in my stomach.  Felt fine after that but I wish I knew what it made me nauseated, never heard of that being a side effect.



try maple syrup. it still tastes bad but its really improved from straight up kava+water. I didn't feel sick after it. I'm going to prepare some kava right now. :laugh:

and yes, opensaysme, Ween rocks.

does anybody have some dosage advice? I put in three tablespoons and drinking it right now. I think the reverse tolerance in taking effect, because I feel much higher and I haven't drank much.

Why is it that kava that you can buy online or from the store isn't nearly as potent as what you get in the South Pacific?

I've seen people in Fiji literally be crawling on their stomach along the beach because they cannot stand up.

Does it just have to be fresh?

Yeah, Potency is diminished in dry, old Kava, opposed to the freshly ground powder you get in the South Pacific

I have a little under 1/2 pound in the cupboard at the moment...

You don't really need much preparation and I couldn't imagine drinking it hot. I prefer to use juice as opposed to water or milk and strain the root matter before consuming. Blueberry pomegranate is much recommended.

Check out my supplier:

http://www.konakavafarm.com/

They host some recipes on their site:

Cocoa Kava: Blend 2tbs Kava with 16oz water, strain. Add 1/2 cup high cocoa content chocolate and blend again.

Cinnamon Honey Kava: Blend 2tbs Kava with 16oz water, strain, add 1tbs Honey, 1tsp cinnamon, 4 ice cubes and blend again.

Lemon-Lime Kava: Blend 6tbs Kava with 3 Cups water, strain, add 1/4 cup lime or lemon juice and 2tbs Honey.

Cocoawa: Blend 2tbs Kava with 16oz Coconut milk strain and enjoy.

Modern Drink: Blend 2 Tbs of Kava and 16 oz water for about 4 minutes. Strain & drink.

Fast & Tasty: Blend 2tbs of Kava with 16oz of any fruit or vegetable juice, strain and enjoy.

Also, their take on 'traditional':

Quote:

Strain the dried kava powder in water. In Hawaii the strainer is often a nylon stocking, cheesecloth or one gallon paint strainer (our absolute favorite thing to strain kava with). Use 1 to 2 ounces of powder per person. Place the powder into the strainer bag, hold its edges together at the top with your hand so that none of the powder escapes. Then, immerse the bag into a bowl of cool water. The amount of water will vary according to taste but a good rule of thumb is 2 ounces of powder to a quart of water. Use your hand to knead the kava under the water or bring the strainer out and squeeze then immerse it again in the water.

The kneading is the most critical step in the entire process!

The kava should feel oily at first which is due to kavalactone levels. Keep repeating this process until the kava in your strainer no longer feels oily. The water should take on the appearance of mud. That's it; you are finished!

That place is twice as expensive as the stuff I got on ebay, but I bet four years is a lot longer than how old the ebay root was.

today I did my usual glass of kava. I used orange juice instead of water, added cinnamon, maple syrup, and honey. It was more tasteful, but still tasted horrible. My next time I'm going to try milk+ice cream. I don't know how I can drink two glasses, I think I'll throw up. today I drank a tall glass but felt little to no effect whatsoever.

Was it what I put in the blender or that I need to drink more. Does reverse tolerance mean you more you've tried in a period of time the less you'll have to take?

I'll try two full glasses sometime, but the taste is getting to me
