midas, i wouldnt drink it at that point,

its sort of an oily sludge

it still holds onto some of the oil

So this is my second attempt. I'll get back to my first but it looks really gross. So this one I made a small batch of 1/2 cup of water to 1/2 cup fu u to about two large tbsp of coconut oil because I'd used six large tbsp on my previous batch and am now out. I blended in my blendtec blender for a minute then strained in my paint strainer then a couple runs threw my fine mesh strainer and right now it's at about 140 degrees and looks like its deep frying but I have it as low as it will go. The first batch I did not strain at all was much larger amount and didnt get above 120. I'm going to give this batch at least another thirty minutes and then cool it off. I'm just wondering if I should be adding water or not. I'm not going to and well se what happens.

this is e first batch unfiltered. Looks like mud. I'm going to try and make brownies with it or something. It's one cup of fu u and some melo melo to two cups water and six large tbsp of coconut oil all blended together in my blendtec on the soup setting bc it heats it up so I did three cycles for almost five minutes it heated up to abut one ten. Then I simmered for about an hour. It decreased in size as expected as the water evaporated. Well see how it is later or tomorrow.

So, I figured I needed a way to press all of the oil out of the deep fried kava. So this is what I riged. Two plastic cups one has paper towel at the bottom and parchment paper inside then I'll press it to hopefully further extract the oil. At thoughts or suggestions are welcome please.

So I haven't tried the first for obvious reasons. The two cups Bad idea! But the second extract worked. I think. I liked the parchment paper from my bad idea because there was oil on it. And it made m y tongue numb. I don't know if I'll be able to feel any effects due to the fact that I've been drinking kava all night. So I'll try it tommorow.

i think you need to add more water, it will help the oil separate from your mix once it settles. kava brownies would be nasty lol. the way i did it was to extarct it into the oil and then just consume the oil, if you use enough water it will allow the oil to separate by itself and its easy to separate it from the kava sludge

I'm definetly going to try again and just extract it into the oil. That contraption andnhandnump looks like a good idea. So far be had one shell and three quarter teaspoon full of oil extract. I feel pretty good. It numbs my mouth but its kinda mild. I think my first recipe will be better with out adding the oil to it but putting it in the pan for extraction.

that look col kapm

but if you use coconut oil it is really easy to separate it once it solidifies

for other oils i would try the pump

Moses was right once I chilled it down I was like I got to separate this all so I war,Ed it back up in a cup of water. Then run cold water in it and the oil started floating to the top so I kept separating small amounts of the kava oil combo in to another cup running ice cold water through it and it all separated nicely. I then strained it through a small hand held fine mesh strainer just so I could easily separate the water and oil and any kava that made it out. And it is super strong I used fu u nambawan second wash and borogu.

hey cocos, if you let it sit in the fridge overnight it will settle and separate into a sold disc at the top


are you getting anything other than head effect from it?
