Which do you think is more effective at extracting the most kavalactones for your buck:
1) Kneading 1/2 cup kava in 16 oz water for 5 minutes, then putting aside this portion of muddy water, then kneading the same kava in another 16 oz water for 5 minutes
or
2) Kneading the same amount of kava for 10 minutes, but twice the amount of water
In other words:Two washes of equal volume water kneading for two separate times of 5 minutes vs one wash with twice the amount of water, kneading for the whole ten minutes.
