Key Principles Of Making Traditional Kava

As you may or may not already know, the active ingredients in ground kava powder are not water soluble, meaning the powder will not fully dissolve once the kava has been submerged in water. Therefore, in order to separate the active ingredients from the root particles, you must strenuously agitate the ground roots in water. Now, this is where a strainer bag comes of great use.

Role Of A Kava Strainer Bag

When preparing kava the traditional way using ground kava powder, making use of a kava strainer bag allows you to hydrate, compress and separate the root particles to get the active ingredients in kava released and suspended in the liquid. There are many other ways in which one can filter kava, although having a suitable kava strainer bag present can outstandingly enhance the quality of the filtered beverage.

When kava was first introduced, kava was prepared from fresh roots that had quite large and soft particles that made squeezing and filtering out the natural materials easier and more effective. Now, in much more recent times, those who consume kava in Australia prepare their kava beverages from powdered dried kava roots that carry far smaller particles. 

Optimal Kava Strainer Bag

An optimal kava strainer bag has the capacity to adequately filter out coarse fibres and, at the same time, be strong enough to withstand any pressure from straining. It should be sturdy enough to last many filtering sessions without tearing, stretching or deforming in shape.

How To Care For Your Kava Strainer Bag

High-quality nylon mesh filter bags can last for months. Although, some basic care is required to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. The simplest way to care for your strainer bag is to hand wash it using gentle and natural soap and warm water to achieve the best results. If your strainer bag tends to get clogged up with resin and becomes sticky, and no amount of washing seems to work, try submerging your strainer bag in boiling water to dissolve any of the residual resin.
