Information Guide on How to Prepare Kava for Drinking
Measure out desired amount of kava and place in strainer bag
Place strainer bag in mixing bowl and add room-temperature water (recommend ratio 1 - 1.5 litres water per 100g kava depending on taste)
Secure strainer bag and submerge in water
Knead and squeeze kava (preferably for 10 minutes) to release the activated kavalactones. If using a Tupou Kava cotton strainer bag do not overfill bag and do not squeeze through the seams (bag is designed to strain a maximum of 500g of kava powder at a time).
Check for colour change. Kava is ready when the water takes on the earthy tone of the kava
Serve kava into a cup and enjoy in moderation
