Kava brownies, a better attempt.

[yepimonfire]

On the old kava lounge, someone attempted to make brownies by adding whole kava to the mix, dumb idea. So here's my idea, since we've all discovered kavalactones aren't destroyed even at boiling temperatures, I'm going to make a butter and use it in place of oil, or maybe just heat and mix it in oil and let it cook a bit, strain, repeat and then use that in the brownies. I'm not really sure how bad the taste would be, but I'm sure it can't be nearly as terrible as throwing the whole root in. Multiple careful strainings will probably help.

What do you think?

try it and tell us how it works. sounds like you will be using a similar method of making butter as with *ahem* other plant materials?

Technically it 'should' work re heat & solubility however i dont know if its really powerful enough to work.

Then again… i want a cat that talks like Stephen Fry so really, im no benchmark for anything.

Get it done Yepimon! If you can get that to work, it would be a major breakthru. You would then automatically have the title of Head Chef at the Kava Forums.

Cool, goes along well with head hoarder.

Have you been doing any "Hoarding" lately? Or are you retiring from that position and going after Head Chef?

If you are still hoarding, let us know what you like nowadays.

Not really, still have tons of kava, but i don't have a whole lot of money right now.

You can always make a concentrate and try it that way, or if you're wary of that you can use the same butter and use it to extract actives from multiple batches of kava, to make it more concentrated

 

[yepimonfire]

Most extracts suck imo. Not really sure how to make an extract.

I've had success with some simple dehydrated grog although it's more work than it's worth IMO.

One can make "extract" by preparing kava with as little water possible and then putting that on a big cookie sheet and placing it on very low heat until the water evaporates...

I wonder it would be easy to scrape off of parchment paper?

 

[infraredz]

Yeah, probably.

I heated it until it was a very muddy liquid then transferred it to a large pyrex pan because it's easier to flake without getting those pesky metal bits in your kava

Tried this once, stunk up the whole house.

How'd it go?

He's a kavaghost ( see kava library ) doubt you will get an answer.

I've attempted kava baking a few times with nothing exciting to show for it. I believe @Monkava'd made some cookies but could be mistaken. there was a guy talking about ice cream but never heard back. I was actually going to try that too but I'm all talk...

I made the kava fudge--it didn't taste too bad but really didn't offer much in the way of effects.

Boiling in water at 212 F doesn't destroy kavalactones, but if you bake at something like 350 F, that actually could destroy them. You would need to use a "no bake" recipe, I think.

What about jello/pudding? Would that work? Pinapple jello would be great, right?
