Kava Enthusiast
Ok screw what you guys say about boiling kava!
lol ok that may have sounded a bit harsh, but after weeks of having just mediocre results from kava (compared to this), i was like... psshhh... im just gonna try it.
so i got a pan of water and put a cup and a half (3 shells worth) of water and heated it up. now i don't have a thermometer and i didn't let it get to a rolling boil, just brought it to a good simmer. so maybe it didn't reach over 140 degrees?
anyway, i stuck in my pantyhose with half and half malekulah magic and fiji waka, and had to press out the oils with a wooden spoon because the water was too hot to squeeze with my hands. this stuff got THICK. ooey and gooey and like wet mud..... i've never had it gotten thick at all from traditional way of making it. now, when i say thick, i mean the stuff getting on my hands while squeezing the panyhose (once the water cooled off enough) . once it mixed with the water it was just perfect and creamy.
and let me say, when kava is hot, like tea, it tastes great! no bowl anxiety whatsoever. it makes sense.. i mean.... who in the world would drink lukewarm coffee?? its nasty! coffee tastes great hot and so does kava!
now for the effects:
instant head buzz, the most lip numbness i have ever achieved, and just feeling good! i think whatever kavalactones might have been killed from the hot water is not being missed by me.
been sipping on my 3 shells worth, (instead of the traditional one shell every 15 mins or so) and gotta say as it cools down its getting nasty again. need to go warm this stuff back up.
next time i will try spacing out the bowls the traditional way and try to maximize the effects and duration that way.
