This method of preparation is our favorite. It is the very best way to get the most out of your kava. This is a suggested serving for two people.
You may want more or less according to your taste. Leftovers will last several days in the refrigerator.
1) Place 3 Tbs. kava in the blender with 3 cups of water
2) Blend on high for one minute.
3)Strain if a smoother drink is desired. Our Kava strainer bags are highly recommended.
4)Drink slowly. This will allow some of the lactones to be absorbed directly into mucus membranes of your mouth for immediate effects. It will also cause more of the pleasant tingling sensation that kava is famous for.
This also makes a great iced drink.
*You may want to add a tsp. of granular lecithin or 1 tsp vegetable oil. This helps to emulsify the kavalactones in the water. it also makes for a smoother tasting drink.
A few slices of fresh ginger root added to the blender is also interesting. You will probably want to strain out the ginger pulp.
