making large amounts

Whats a good recipe to make larg amounts of kava?? i think i saw somewhere that 1 cup to a gallon was good? also how long will this stuff last in the fridge?

I've never made a large amount of kava so I can't help you with that.



Kava, even in the fridge will only last 3 days at most. After that it starts to taste a tad funny and it gets worse the longer you keep it around.

The paper included with my order from Kava By Rex claims it will keep up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

To each his own. I've tried it a hand full of times and it's always turned sour after day 3. *shrugs*

I agree for 3 days. But 1 cup to a gallon is good. Just drink it all one night ha.

Quote from Rex "I would say that maybe three to four cups at the above strength is appropriate for a few hours of effect. Again, you may enjoy 
more or less according to your own preference. "
I'd be bloated,waterlogged and spent half the evening running to the little boy's room.

Use 1/2 gal of water per cup of Kava and drink 2  cups (4 shells) spaced over the evening.or4 heaping tablespoons (1/4th cup)  per 2 cup of water. 
Less to get down and IMHO better effects.

I only make a small amount so it's fresh.  If you leave kava in the fridge even overnight you will get lots of sludge.
40 minutes (30 minutes steeping, 10 straining) is worth an enjoyable session IMO.
