Hi folks, thank you for creating an awesome forum!
I am new at this and I think I am suffering from the dreaded reverse tolerance... but I just wanted to make sure I am processing the kava properly, and perhaps get some tips on making the effect more noticable.
OK, firstly, I used to have a problem with alcohol, but am now 6 months sober... whew, glad thats out of the way.
Im on my second bag of 1/2 pound tikarams kava and here is how I prepare...
use tap hot water
Mix in about 1/4 cup of kava in my blender (I have no electricity, but I found a blender that has a rip cord.. I shit you not!)
Blend for 3-4 mins
pour into a calaco bag
massage until no more liquid
I leave the spent(?) kava in the bag and repeat the above back to back 3 or 4 times (with new kava)
mouth goes numb... thats about it... oh, and I fast for at least 2 hours beforehand.
Any tips? The only other thing I havent tried is to use a small amount of fat, i.e. milk in the blending process. Would that make a huge difference?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom
Cheers, Pete.
