How To Make Kava - Traditional Method

To prepare kava using the traditional method, you'll need kava root powder, water, and a straining cloth (like a muslin cloth or a purpose-made kava strainer bag). Here’s a step-by-step guide:

What You’ll Need:

Kava Root Powder: Start with about 1-2 tablespoons per cup of water for a moderate strength, or adjust based on your preference.

Water: Traditionally, cold or room-temperature water is used (hot water can damage some of the kava’s active compounds).

Strainer: A fine-mesh cloth bag or muslin cloth works well for straining the kava.

Steps:

Measure and Place the Kava Powder: Add the kava root powder to your strainer bag. If using a bowl, add it directly to the water.

Add Water: Use about 1 cup of water for every tablespoon of kava powder. Adjust the ratio to your preference for stronger or lighter kava.

Knead and Squeeze: Submerge the strainer bag in the water, and knead the kava powder for 5-10 minutes. This helps extract the kavalactones, the active compounds. The water will turn brown and take on a smooth, earthy scent.

Strain: Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the strainer bag to capture all the kavalactones.

Serve: Pour the strained kava into a cup and drink immediately. Kava traditionally has a mild numbing effect on the mouth.
