A half coconut shell is the standard drinking cup. Most people consider the ancient method pretty disgusting. Today the fresh root is pounded in a suitable container, or root that has been washed and dried is machine pounded into a fine powder. The bag is then thoroughly wrung out and set aside. The effects of kava drinking seem to be enjoyed most when two or more friends are drinking.
Participants relax and muted conversation tends to flow.
Between cups, snacks are nibbled and all enjoy a sense of well-being and comaraderie. Potency can be made to suit your wishes by adding or eliminating some water or powder. It's up to you. Usually this bag can be used again to make at least one more bowl full without adding more powder. One pound of our premium root powder should make approximately 16 quarts of drink.
