Do I really gotta throw in some almond milk everytime I prep?
Is a fat source necessary

I can’t tell. Especially with squanch.

It does seem to be that I have an easier time squeezing out a darker/more opaque grog when I use lecithin. With Squanch, in particular, I think it actually makes it too difficult to get through the filter when I add the lecithin. I was asking about this when it comes to my Aluball prep (in that thread) - whether it helps or doesn't and whether it should be in with the kava (which is what I've been doing) or the water. I use the CTAHR method (or a form of it) otherwise I and really think it helps me get more out of every wash.

It certainly doesn't do you any harm. I went through a transitionary phase where for several months I prepped using 2/3 water and 1/3 coconut milk, as it helped with the taste so I could drink it. After a while it was no longer necessary and then after that I started liking the taste of kava so I prefer not having anything mess with it. But if you like it with milk or nut milk or whatever, by all means, enjoy it the way you like. Is it required? No, not at all.

I used to use the Welch's or V8 Splash orange pineapple juice instead of water. It seemed sort of like the grog was a touch stronger and like it somehow pulled more kava oil out, and pulled it out faster. Like the oils bonded. But I was taking in way too many calories using the juice and now I just straight water chug and shrug.

Yeah I think I'd have type 2 diabetes forming if I kept up with that recipe @Squanch72

So tasty though, used to love to hug the jug and embrace my inner slug. Who needs feet and lower legs anyway, with technology these days, jk
