Kava Curious
Hey all, so I'm pretty new here... been lurking a bit.
I've tried Kava on and off for a couple of years, and now I'm definitely "on." It's really helping me out.
This morning I mixed a batch to bring along to work and have a small bit or so throughout the day to keep building the reverse tolerance, and take the edge off of the day.
I'm using the Vanuatu3 from Rex. In the past, I'd blended it fast and hard. I've never been much for the kneading. I know, it's not tradition, but I'm working on my technique in my own way. Today, however, I used my variable speeds on the vitamix, tossed some coconut oil in there with it, and let it spin at a medium speed for about 4 minutes or so. Then, blended it on high for about 20 seconds.
When I went to strain it, I was blown away how easy it was. There was the chunks left, but the rest just went right through. Barely had to squeeze it out at all. After smelling it, I'm actually a bit wary of trying it at work because it seems thoroughly extracted and may beat the crap out of me.
Has anyone else had any luck/experiences with this sort of thing?
