sports Bottle Filter

[kl.Mill3119]

Wondering if you could use a filtered sports bottle for Kava on the go. My fear is it will filter out kavalactones or just plug rite up. What do you guys think. Wanna try 16oz pineapple juice 4tbs of fu.u. SHAKE AND SERVE.

I've tried straining kava with a tea strainer and it clogs up basically immediately so yeah I don't think it would work very well.

I've also tried to drink kava through a bombilla and it was not a great experience. Very quickly clogs.

Women's nylons that are cut about as high as the start of the theoretical calf seem to be the best way to filter and knead my Kava. They seem to last a long time (relatively), are fairly fine compared to other cloths, don't clog, are already in the right shape (you just have to cut a perpendicular slit to make two 'strands' to tie) and are easily cleaned and re-used. I have made Kava in my car using just the root, a small bowl and a women's nylon. Don't know if that will work for you, but you could always prepare the Kava then keep it in a bottle for later.

You could also just shake the water/pineapple juice/kava in a bottle then instead of using the filter in the bottle, use a stocking. That would seem to be pretty easy now that I think about it.

Urgh, I gag at the thought of that. I could never sip kava from a straw of any kind (smiley: sick)

To the OP, you could just prep up a batch of kava beforehand, store it in whatever bottle you please, and then shake and chug whenever you're ready to drink. That's what I do, unless the kava is miconized, in which case I wouldn't even bother straining it (smiley: smile)
