KAVA STRAINER BAG

Possibly the best kava strainer bag on the market. We've experimented with alot of different strainers and we are confident that this food grade filter bag is simply perfect: tough, durable, re-usable, easy to wash and convenient. Use it with fine, noble kava powder to make a potent and yet smooth and easy to drink kava beverage.

The strainers are sturdy and will last a fair amount of time with appropriate care. We recommend machine washing them (ideally with an eco-friendly, fragrance free detergent) regularly, or washing them with soap and warm water after every use. Air dry for the best results.

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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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

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