Method: For 1 litre of Kava juice
To mix less or more, just adjust the weight/volume.

Step 1: Place half of 125g of kava into the strainer net and then place the strainer net with the kava into a large bowl with 1L of water (for the best results, use three-quarters cold water and one-quarter boiled water).

Step 2: Massage the kava in the net, releasing the kava lactones, making the water turn a dark brown colour. Repeat the massaging and squeezing of the kava in the strainer net until the water has an oily glaze on top of the water. 5-10min. 

Step 3: Pour the mixture into a second bowl through the finer filter bag. Close off the top of the filter bag, then massage or squeeze the filter.

Step 4: Put aside the squeezed left-over kava that caught in the strainer net and filter bag. (Note: You can dry the used kava fibres and sprinkle them over your garden, which works as a great insect repellent for your garden). Clean your strainer bag and filter bag under running water and let them dry before using them again.

Step 5: You should now have a bowl of kava juice you can drink.

Pour a cup of the kava juice and KNOCK IT BACK in one go! Now sit back, relax and feel the soothing effects of the best Vanuatu Kava in Australia, Capital Kava.
