Hey,
I know it's an old thread but I have to ask a few questions before I use kava kava the first time.
So: with which amount of Kava should I start - I have a very high benzo tolerance I must admit. Am I fine with Kava even if the tolerance is high but I have not taken anything today?
Second: How do I handle it? I have it in powderform an ordered also two strainer bags.
It is a reliable vendor who respects this plant honestly. So his recipe would be:
25 grams of kava root per 1 quarter of water. Ratio determines potency. Ok, this is clear to me.
1. Pour room temperature water into a bowl
2. Place your kava root into your strainer bags
3. Pinch the top of the bag and submerge it in water
4. Knead the kava for about 5-10 minutes (how exactly do I have to knead the kava to get all out of this magical root?)
5. Squeeze the kava dry before discarding the makas (this sentence I dont unterstand to be honest). What's a maka?
And do you guys who are already familiar with making a kava drink do it the same way or are there other ROAS? Are the 25 grams of kava root per 1/4 of water not too much for someone like me who did never tried it? I already mentioned my extremely high tolerance to benzos. I read so many different threads and answers but please is there anyone who could tell me it is alright and explain to me what they mean with "before discarding the makas?
The vendor also means: serving size: 1 tsp (teaspoon I guess) (~3 grams) - (makes 4 fl oz) --> Uhm - what? I'm not familiar with that since I'm from Europe and we have totally different measures. Yes I know I could have a look at LEO but this doesn't solve my problem.
I want to do it right, I want a real strong high to be honest but I don't want to make anything wrong. I am not going to take it every day, I read about the fact that it could damage the liver very heavily.
So please - would anybody be so kind and translate that to me, give me a few tips what to avoid or what to do that makes fun on kava kava and so on.
Would appreciate it very much, thanks in advance!
