So than do I need to start using a food processor or what, I mean wow, hot dam that looks tasty!This is EXACTLY what my food processor looks like right now. I blended down 100% lateral root and whooooo wee. It's strong, and dark!
Well I'm no expert, especially with no prior use of fresh kava but 1 cup of kava to 1 cup of water leads me to believe you're quite the hard head Bulabuck, if I'm not to be mistaken?Well hate to say its not strong enough for me i used 2 cups chopped root soaked in 3 cups distilled water blended for two min soaked for 15 min in same water strained and squeezed for 15 min. Then added hot water to seperate bowl about two cups . Squeezed that added it to brew . But yes its a nice ... Very nice clean heady kava with added muscle and good anti anxiety effect just my first go round so i got some learnin to do next time id say 4 cups root 4 cups water.
No problem, we're all still learning in this giant classroom Bulabuck including me and there's so many confusing things I've yet to get a hold of so you're not alone in that boat.no ur right iam a hard head fo sho .just guessing at that ratio probaly.wont use that much more root less water i suppose just learning
That's so natural; you know like straight to the grit and grime. Probably very potent when done that way, depending on the water/kava ratio.It sure does like nice and yellowy I don't know enough about fresh kava preps to really give any suggestions, but maybe those root bits need to be mashed up a bit more, somehow. I've read several peace corps blogs that praise the taste & effect that "stone ground" kava gives over meat grinder kava. I don't know the process exactly, other than grinding it on some kind of sharpened stone...but you can take a look a these pics to get an idea of the consistency their working with:
