How do you prepare yours?How much Kava root powder do you use for a cup of tea?
Hi Seaturtle.
People have traditionally prepared kava as a cold tea (an infusion made from straining a mixture of water and shredded and pounded fresh or dried root). One simple method for the preparation of kava tea involves putting two or more heaped teaspoons of kava root for each person into a clean stocking, tying a knot in the stocking and then repeatedly squeezing it in a bowl of cold water.
The tea commonly produces a slight numbing of the tongue and lips initially, followed by mildly euphoric and talkative behavior, a sense of well-being and calm, relaxation and clear thinking. The sleep that is associated with kava is particularly restful and there are no after effects the next day.
Kava can be bought at health food stores as a standardized extract.
