*Kava Instructions for beginners: You will need to buy a strainer!!! Prepare a large bowl or container with warm water. Water should be warm to the touch but not hot. Deposit desired amount of kava root powder into our durable Wakacon strainer bag. Three tablespoons of kava to one and a half cups of water will give you about three comfortable shots of kava. Adjust amounts for desired potency. Immerse the strainer bag containing the kava root powder into the bowl of water. Knead and squeeze the Kava powder vigorously in the water for approximately 10 minutes, 5 if you’re strong. You should be able to see oily substance on your hands and in water when it is ready. Squeeze as much liquid from the Wakacon strainer bag as possible and discard the used kava powder. Make sure you gulp these down because kava is notorious for its bad taste and is not something that is usually savored, although some people love the earthy flavor. If this is your first time, we might recommend starting with a small dose for a few days in a row so your body adapts, and eventually increasing the amount of Kava to a few servings in an hour to get the full effect. The effect of Kava is not the same for everyone, so please be patient and talk to a friend or someone who mixes kava regularly. Binge drinking is a terrible idea, so please start out slow. Yes, kava tastes very earthy and may be too strong for a beginner. That is because you have yet to acquire a taste for it. To our loyal customers, as always, we appreciate your support.
