How hot is hot water? I once tried to concentrate kava and boiled it, the result was a thick mass which I had to discard. Does hot water extract more of the lactones than cold? Or should one use milk / put in some fat, I read the lactones were fat soluble?
Same here, just with good old methoxetamine, which isn't around anymore but some analogues, I ordered them, waiting for picking them up, finally dissociatives again. Somehow I get from low dose MXE effects similar to what I expect and read about kava.. disinhibition, socialization, relaxed energy, can go walking for hours as well as lying in bed watching movies or floating to music.. Oh I love MXE.
Just prepared 50g, but managed to pour in a liter of water, some mango taste and some milk powder.. should have used less water. Oh, and filtered with a sieve, I don't tolerate these little pieces of root wood in a drink.. I didn't buy a specific kava strainer, found it too expensive but would you recommend to still buy one?
Downed 1/2 of the liter and already a bit nauseous. Cooking down doesn't work either, gives a thick mess which isn't usable..
Oh Germany. How I love this country (irony).. no chance to get a driving license because some drunk stranger attacked me and I attacked back, on a public street thus a threat to the circulation etc.pp. and nearly into prison for methoxetamine "smuggling". Years ago, before 2015 or so you could import nearly anything into Switzerland but then they managed to pass a blanket ban not unlike the UK probably but I read that the UK allows you to just abandon the goods if they detect them while Switzerland and Germany make big investigation for the small fishes..
They should just finish the War on Drugs. It has officially been declared as a catastrophic failure but countries don't listen. Well when you see in Germany e.g. the responsive politician has no clue about drugs, one was family minister before.. ugh..
Okay. I will be real straight with my best suggestions and insights.
Thanks for elaborating. I try not to presume but my intuition was spot on all round.
I can answer those questions to a degree.
Hot water, makes a different end product crucially. Like vaporizing cannabinoids at 166 Celsius vs 210, which releases the more sedative heavier actives more, and has a different signature to it.
The same applies with kava. Gram for gram, IMO you get more bang for buck using still about touchable hot water.
But the flavor is worse. It's more sedative, and more nauseating.
It's pros and cons. I'm flexible. I employ the heat like the right amount of cooking on the stove type balance approach.
Milk is famed practically for directly potentiating kava. People mix it together.
Any chaser, masker that assists is good.
But...YES. You really do need a proper strainer. It's wrong conduct to use kava improperly prepared.
75 microns at least. Or 100. Those root fibers strained out, or not, very nauseating, bitter too. The taste is probably all through the brew tbh but they are irritant to the intestines.
It makes a world of difference just this because it's paramount firstly.
I suggest different kavas. 75 or above micron strainer. Blender if available.
Milk can potentiate and maybe flavor.
I use sunflower lecithin religiously, every kava prep method. To assist the extraction.
And that's correct too about UK. After Brexit Border Force stepped in seizing every shit, including two orders to me from Holland.
The second, I recieved a letter of seizure notice, with open invitation to context rightful receipt in court, pay costs if I lose, or accept forfeiture.
Tough decision huh lol.
No "you must not...do not....if you....do you understand that...we are coming for you boy!"
Nothing. Because, they haven't the actual juristiction, so they keep their fat arses out.
Hence lots of people in this country stockpiled for years on masses of Lysergamides and all sorts I reckon, because they don't run through these particular things nearly as quick as I have and I never need consider a shop in that direction again.

will have to read through I guess, or anybody having a link? The kava taste is so bad, kratom's tasting good in comparison.
it's a sedative, which is good too but for special occasions, like other people use alcohol, I can't imagine being all day on Kava. Dissociatives (Methoxetamines, there are others which are more manic or opioids) are more energizing, focused drive and disinhibition while kava is more like an odd benzo. Guess it's CB1 which I don't like because benzos in good amount are paradoxically stimulating for me, right before they put me asleep dose-wise.
