Hey kava family,
I did some calculations (and empirical investigation) last night on how to mix regular and instant kava to achieve the perfect Vanuatu mix. 5 Shells and you're gone!
The units are in metric and US. Please inform me if you would like the US measurements to be altered to how you would usually measure your kava since we are used to the metric system around these parts and it can get a big confusing doing the conversion. I would usually consume about 600mL to 1 liter max in a session but heavy drinkers can go further.
