1 tbsp micronized kava = 1 cup water or 2 cups water?

[kavanoob]

During my early days of kava use, I found that 1 cup made me vomit. So I've been drinking 2 cups water for every 1 tbsp.

Is it possible that 1 cup for 1 tbsp is possible, as long as you space it longer?

I probably didn't space it enough during my early days.

I actually don't like micronized that much because it reminds me of toss and wash. But it is effective and good for a quick fix. I usually do a heaping tablespoon for about 12 ounces of water. Basically, as much as I can handle.

Ok, so you do 1 1/2 cups of water.

Does anyone here do 1 cup of water per 1 tbsp of kava? How often do you space?

Yes, but I seem to have an iron gut when it comes to kava. I recently mixed 5 tablespoons into my 500ml water bottle (about 2 cups) and drank it over the course of an hour, no tummy troubles. Everyone is different, you just have to do what works for you.

1 Tbsp would go with 10-12 oz of water for me. Any less water than that would be too close
to drinking mud.

Drinking a tablespoon in 1 or more cups of water just gives me more gross tasting stuff to drink. I usually do shots with a small amount of juice and 1 tablespoon. It is pretty muddy, but if it means I have to drink the gross stuff for less time, it's worth it to me.

I do a tablespoon per 4oz. But i drink two fast then space the next three by 20 min each and I'm perfect.

I 100% agree @Kavasseur
At first it felt convenient, but after a while...
I've just been lazy. To me, cold extraction with a second wash is the way to.

Well, as long as it doesn't bother you, I doubt anyone else will notice by the looks of your avatar.
