A spoonful of sugar makes the Awa' go down.
Preparation Details
First of all, please don't take this as any dead set method of a preparation because this is something I'm still in the process of finesse and sadly until I've widdled down a set time/given potency for each strain this is bound to change.
Step 1- Prepare a set amount of kava for a set amount of time I.e 5 tblsp for one night less or more in dependence of, how each individual kava affects me, the situation at hand, pain, anxiety ect... or 10tblsp for two separate session if I'm not sure I'll be in a position to make kava the next day or just "don't wanna" in w/en strainer rocks my boat per se.
As a warning my recommendation for muslin strainers happened to be my undoing more than a few times now (leading to the inevitable straining of the grog twice with another muslin strainer,oh the irony) ; mainly due to the micron size in which I'd been so fond of; causing a tearing of the strainer at any exposed weak points.
Now I'm likely taking the dive and ordering a fijian strainer like I should have done in the first place (I just loved the fineness along with the sought after silt for potency obtained after using a muslin strainer, along with no issue of thickness associated with grog many a time)since any & all reviews previously read have been nothing less than satisfactory.
Anyways apologies for my incessant rambling, that stagnant air needed to be cleared.
Step 2 Prepare one cup of hot water (yes just one, you'll see why soon and I should also mention music is a good offset for this entire event or if you so prefer go outside as Kavasseur does and listen to the music of life....or not if that puts you off ) and precede to knead for 20 min for 10 tbsp; in congruence the same for 5. Even if, as has been represented once the "greasiness has ceased to divulge or in simplicity the oils have "run a'dry" My consolation to the natives and determination is not to give up until every last pulp ridden drop is depleted so that's that.
Step 3- This is where it gets dicey; now with no pause grab another 3/4ths cup if using 10tbsp for myself for those two separate sessions; (for obvious reasons more water is used) and in contrast 1/2 cup of water if less than in my words, about 7 are used or in my case 5 for just that one night.
Knead for another relaxing (or grueling possibly in your case if you choose to forgo this route of prep, don't tell me I didn't warn you hahaha...) 20 mins (again all times are subject to change until i've utilized a necessary potency whereby no more extractions can be undertaken, though this varies by every strain) until your hands look like a combination of toads skin and lovely mesquite tree bark...jk.
Step 4- Cut your hands off because they look frightening hahaha seriously jk...but really; next prepare another 1/2 a cup (my obsession has no ends) for the 10tbsp or 1/4 a cup for the 5tbsp; (as this is the final strain for the 5) than knead again for 10 mins, I just love titrating everything to oblivion.
Step 5- Can you believe you're finished or almost finished?
Lastly the 5tbsp is done now so combine all the grog and drink up like the heathen you've now become (jk, but be proud as I always am)!
The 10tbsp per my method require a honorary 10 more mins to knead requiring just a 1/4 cup; after a tiring final battle has struck atonement combine all grog in similarity to the 5tbsp; immediately consume half as I do.
Or if you're a "real man/woman" consume it all dammit !
Review Comments
So let's get some things I know will be asked out of the way.
1. I use the amounts of water separately and not as a whole so that the times are separated leading to a more accurate guage of potency.
2. I prefer deep tribal or ritualistic music whilst the kneading/giving thanks to the natives is undertaken so Asura, or Aes Dana and even sometimes and off key, Boards Of Canada is listened to (even though this isn't the same as the others).
Out of everything this review was about, my decision to post this rather than just saying eh w/e there's other reviews to be constructed and ones already out there; comes from my deep respect and admiration for all of the vendors here.
And in specific this review the same admiration for Judd and Bulakavahouse; for striving to provide speedy service, utmost care for their products and customers, excellent quality to those whom may not have much mula in pocket at any given time, and a hearty moral value for what they do.
Thank you so much sirs, I was more than satisfied with what was received.
