Step 1: Gather the items you need.
Here is a list of items you will need to get started on how to prepare kava:
A traditional tanoa or a large bowl
A coconut shell for drinking
Kava powder, such as Vanuatu Natural
A straining bag or a set of stockings
Measuring device – preferably tablespoons
Warm water
Step 2 How to prepare: Variety of Kava and Temperature of Water
A key element in traditional Kava preparation is the water temperature. It is important to utilize tepid water to properly extract the Kavalactones found in Kava. The ideal temperature is just above lukewarm to enhance extraction without compromising the quality.
Step 3 How to prepare: Kava Potency and Water Ratio
Diverse Kava types and traditions exhibit different potencies and Kava-to-water ratios. This video suggests using a typical Vanuatu potency, with a ratio of one part Kava to five parts water. By adopting this traditional method, you can have a pleasurable Kava experience without overwhelming potency.
Step 4: Pouring and Straining the Kava
Use a tablespoon to accurately measure the required Kava powder and place it in a straining bag. Seal the bag and pour warm water over the Kava, ensuring it is fully immersed. Squeeze the bag firmly for around 10 minutes to enhance the brew’s strength. This process releases concentrated Kavalactones that maximize the potency and effectiveness of the Kava.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy Your Kava
After completing the squeezing process, discard the strained Kava and quickly wash your bag. The resulting brew should display a well-balanced color with a visible oily layer on the surface, indicating the presence of Kavalactones. Before serving, remember to stir the Kava to ensure an even distribution of its desirable components.
Now that your Kava Drink is meticulously prepared, serve it in a classic coconut shell and relish the harmonious fusion of tradition and relaxation offered by Vanuatu Natural.
