Since I can't post this anywhere else yet I'll stick it here.
Someone was asking about how to prepare kava.
1. Powder the root if you didn't purchase powdered kava root.
2. I use 2 tablespoons of root to each cup of water liquid..I use 50/50 water/whole milk.
3. Get a blender, throw your water and root in there an blend for like a minute.
4. Get a strainer, a muslin strainer bag is the best, and a bowl. Line the bowl with the strainer.
5. Pour the kava/water/milk solution into the bowl lined with strainer thing (pantyhose, muslin bag....)
6. Squeeze and massage the kava powder for a bit and then strain the liquud through whatever strainer medium youre using.
7. 4 ounces of liquid is one "shell". Drink on an empty stomach.
Apologies for any misunderstanding. There's tons of videos online too.
The whole milk is used because kavalactones are lipid soluble Like cannabinoids.
