How to Prepare Your Kava Beverage

The ratio used is 1 oz of ground kava root to 1 quart of water. 
The procedure is the same for either Kava Hawaii or Kava Vanuatu.

Needed:

the appropriate amount of water

1)    Place in the blender 1 oz of your choice of Kava root. 

2)    Add half as much water as will makeup the final total, in this case add one pint.  

3)    Blend at medium speed for one minute.  This disrupts the fibers of the Kava Root thus releasing the
     particles of the resin into the water as an emulsion.

4)    Pour contents of blender into the nylon stocking while collecting the liquid in a large bowl.  The
     stocking will retain the Kava root fibers and allow the extracted resin (kavalactones) to flow into the
     bowl with the water.

5)    Wring the stocking to dryness while collecting the liquid in the bowl used in 4).

6)    Pour the remaining water needed to make one quart, in this case one pint, through the stocking that
      contains the kava root.  Wring the stocking again to dryness.

7)    You should have now one quart of your Kava beverage to drink at your leisure.
