Hello,
About a week ago we ordered some of the Eva Kava from CactusKava here -- https://cactuskava.com/products/eva-kava and have been trying it out different ways. It's fairly expensive for what you get, so I was wanting to try and increase yield and efficiency for the material I do have.
I'd read some threads here before starting, and most recently have been looking into boiling Kava. I know the kavalactones aren't water soluble, but I'd seen mention of using soy lecithin or other fats to help absorption of the active ingredients into the liquid. Knowing this, I wondered: has anyone else tried boiling in milk or dairy?
In my most recent batch, I've taken 4 tbsps kava and 800ml of Almond Milk, and boiled for 10 minutes. Just waiting to knead it now, and wondered what others thought.
This is one of the videos I've seen linked in the past discussing the boiling technique, although this is modified from what I've done so far -- he uses water, and only a very tiny amount, enough to keep the kava wet. I put the full 800ml of almond milk into the pan with the kava and brought it to a full boil for 10 minutes.
Opinions appreciated, thanks!
