Okay, so normally I'll try to let my kava mixture (root powder + lecithin + water) steep overnight, or for at least for several hours, before blending and kneading/straining it.
There are always those occasions when I want some grog right away, however, and I'll maybe let the mixture steep for, like, ten or fifteen minutes at the most.
Here's the thing: the steeping time honestly doesn't seem to make much of a difference, but some tiny superstitious part of me is still thinking that a few hours' difference will help in extracting more kavalactones.
Is there any evidence - anecdotal or otherwise - to corroborate this?
