How to Mix Kava

There are 5 easy steps to mixing to perfection



1) Get the Kava! You will want it to be strong and potent. Fijian or Tongan is usually the best.

2) Find a container. Many people use a cooler or bucket if they are mixing for a lot of people. If its a small amount, a large bowl will work great. Traditionally, Polynesians will use a large wooden bowl called a "Tanoa"

3) Get the strainer. There are many different types of material to use. I personally use women's pantyhose (embarrassing i know, but it works great). Cheesecloth, wire mesh, and even an old t-shirt will work as well.

4) Add the dry Kava powder to the strainer. The rule of thumb is to mix 1 heaping tablespoon of kava powder to 1 cup of water, so measure out how much you will need.

5) "Knead" kava through the water without letting the kava escape into the bowl. When done lift out strainer and squeeze any remaining water out.


Enjoy and Cheers!
