Oral use - Best Preporation For a Night of KAVA!

[braddubya]

Swim got some kava kava powdered root and a few grams of 30% kavalactones extract. Swim has done the old faithful water+milk then squeeze moist powder wrapped in cloth. Definitley felt the effects much like being mildly drunk, but swim did not like the taste at all. Swim and his housemate want to have a kava night and want to do it right.

Whats the best way to prepare kava to get as much effect as possible and make it drinkable?

Thanks all in advance

Swim has come up with a good one with after a few experiments that swim and friends enjoy . You need one heaping big as you can get tablespoon of kava root which is really anywhere from 3-5 tbsps per 8oz. Your best bet is to is to fill your blender with 4 cups (32oz). If you want to really feel it do 3 heaping tbsps per 2 cups. At this point you blend in the blender for 4 min. I still need to test experimenting with using soy lechtin and letting the batch soak in the fridge for 30min before filtering. Anyways blend for 4min in the blender. To maximize potency try letting the solution sit in the fridge for 30min then reblend for 4min. The next step is to pour the solution through a 6" x 10" muslin bag over a large bowl. The trick is to spin the top so nothing flow out the opening then gently massage the bag squeezing from the bottom up. once you get the bulk liquid out you can really press the rest of the moisture from the remaining root powder. Pour the filtered solution back into your blender and add pineapple juice and regular coconut milk found in the asian section of your local grocery. Blend for a few seconds to mix it up and pour in small glasses on ice. Whenever you need to refill simply blend the blender to remix before serving the next round. This recipe will serve 6-8 small glasses on ice. 2-3 blenders will serve 2 for a whole evening session.

For a tobacco alternative to match the Kava is a simple 1:1 Damania/passionflower herbal blend. Very smooth a slow burning. Produces a very strong relaxing feeling. NOTE: Does not curve the nicotine fit though. Mixing with tobacco might help.

sounds interesting!

Swim just tried a tiny dose of the kavalactones scooped with a toothpick! Swim can def feel the effects pretty strong after holding in his mouth for a few min. Swim also took some adderall earlier to get some studies done which may be part of it. So far swim is impressed because the feeling is much like that of a few cups of kava root drink!

Any other ideas?
