Kava Who?
Yes @Henry , I gave it a try, minus the cumin. I just don't care for that spice. Anyhow, It really did help kick the kava in. I sware, it does seem to potentiate, in some way. I am curios, why. I am amazed, how it turned my normal 7 scoops, into a full blown crunk. Thanks for the advice. I may add this to my list. Depending, on what it all feels like coming out the other end. I got to watch that with kava. LOL. Much love Roaddog...

I tried a very similar mix of spices in a grog a few weeks ago, sort of like chai kava. It was great!
("Great" is being used in a comparitive sense here, as I would not be happy if I ordered a chai tea at a restaurant and received something that tasted like what I made. Although, if it had kava in it, I'd be happily surprised.)
Yep, but next time try to make some hot, herbal tea. The heat seems to be of crucial importance when it comes to getting stronger effects!

I actually think that was why I added the spices in the first place. I tried my hand at making a hot grog and the mouthfeel was atrocious, so I covered it up. So, so, so slimy.
Yes, hot kava tastes even worse than regular kava. But drinking hot herbal tea after kava kills the bad taste, gives you stronger effects and decreases the risk of nausea/stomach upsets. So many benefits for just a few cents!
A few small sips after each shell to get rid of the bad taste and prevent nausea. Once I am done with all the kava I just continue drinking the tea.
I usually drink around 500ml of tea per session. No bloating, no nausea and really nice effects.
Your recipe sounds amazing. I'm two shells in and not feeling motivated enough to combine things into other things, but I did fire up a cup of this:

Not the same, but some of the same ingredients. I find this to be stomach-soothing:

- Black Pepper
- Clove Bud
And how did it feel? Did the heat help you to sustain the kava effects?
I don't know if it sustained the kava effects, but it definitely made for a nice soft landing in bed and I slept like a baby.

I saw this when Henry posted it and for some reason it didn't register with me, but I used to have a similar drink after kava. I just never ordered more when I ran out.
Upton sells a very good rooibos chai: http://www.uptontea.com/store/item.asp?itemID=BA33&from=search.asp
Add some ginger I think and you're good to go.

Okay so I've done ten minutes of research and determined that Penzey's is a good place to get bulk spices in the US.

I buy this tea. I think it costs $2 or $3 USD. I usually add some of the other spices. From my experience, fennel seeds and ginger are crucial for those who want to avoid getting nausea, bloating, gas..
If you drink it long enough, does the carpet match the drapes?
