Pour warm water directly into the bag, let it sit for a few minutes to loosen the tougher fibres, then twist the top closed, press out the air, and knead the bag in the water for about 10 minutes, wringing it out regularly. Finish with a firm squeeze so no root particles escape into your beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlender method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend kava and cold water (1g of powder per 15–20ml of water) on high for 3–4 minutes — a teaspoon of coconut oil can help extract the fat-soluble kavalactones. Pour the mixture through the strainer bag into a clean bowl and squeeze. Add a couple of ice cubes if you like, and enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull step-by-step walkthrough in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kavasociety.nz\/pages\/how-to-prepare-kava\"\u003epreparation guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Kava Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43468091785267,"sku":"SQ0175962","price":13.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/4313\/5539\/files\/20180528_123534.jpg?v=1751791148"},{"product_id":"lalaga-card-game","title":"Lalaga Card Game","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA conversation card game rooted in Pacific talanoa tradition. 180 questions across 5 depth levels.
