Well, I did one tablespoon in apple juice and then about 30 minutes later a half tablespoon in fruit punch. I didn't feel anything to crazy, but I am feeling relaxed and very ready for bed. Which is a welcome sensation, normally at this time of night I just feel the unavoidable urge to work, and guilt if I don't. So, maybe this is the treat I've been after. I could also be getting the "reverse tolerance" thing, so we will go another round tomorrow evening. The fruit punch was better, but I also only had half the Kava. I think drinking two glasses with less kava may be better. The slight taste of the powder actually didn't seem horrible, but the full tablespoon was super nasty! I never felt any stomach issues, or weirdness at all, which builds some confidence in it. I'm stoked to try another drink tomorrow. Cheers!!!
