Hello Friends,
I just received an order of Nene and was excited to try kava for the first time. Here's what I did...
I put a cup of water in a University of Hawaii coffee mug and put it in my microwave for three minutes (I think this was too long). After removing the cup from the microwave I put in about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Nene.
I stirred it for about ten minutes and then put the liquid in one of those metal coffee filters to strain through to another glass. The straining seemed to go well for a while but after a time would not allow any more liquid to come through because of the amount of residue.
I then drank the mixture like I would coffee or tea while listening to music from www.alohajoe.com. It was bitter but did not seem to be any more so than coffee without cream and sugar. My toungue seemed to be able to tell this was different than coffee because I could sense a bit of a tingle.
I still feel some of the affects of the drink and describe it as pleasant but because this is my first drink of the root I am not sure if what I feel is because of the drink or if it is because I want to feel something [:)]
Anyway, I don't think the way I fixed the drink was probably the best way. I just wanted to give it a try.
Any thoughts,
Russell
