I used ice cold water. Okay cool, I'll try warm water next time. Thank you! And here is what I bought:   \r\n\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1B3RKA/ref=ppx\\_yo\\_dt\\_b\\_asin\\_title\\_o01\\_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1","subreddit_name":"Dallas","author":"quantumthrashley"},{"body":"I think the Aluball was causing the extreme nausea. I have a very sensitive stomach, and have nausea enough as it is (not diagnosed yet, so not sure why I have it all the time now). \r\n\r\nI made Kava again from the Aluball, and then filtered it through a Kava strainer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1B3RKA\r\nWhat remained was a ton of mud. So I had apparently drank that before, which may have been bad. Drinking it after filtering made it taste much cleaner, and it gave me no additional nausea.\r\n\r\nToday, I made about 48oz of Kava from 3 tablespoons of Loa Waka. This time I did it the \"good\" way. Kneaded it by hand for about 5 minutes. Excited to see the results of this. The liquid is much, much more chocolaty-looking than what the Aluball makes. I even strained it twice, just to be sure nothing got through.\r\n","subreddit_name":"Kava","author":"BobFiggins"},{"body":"I started the same way as you, exactly.  After messing about for a few weeks, here is where I've ended up which is miles beyond what I thought possible at first.\r\n\r\n1.  Ditch the Alluball.\r\n2.  Get a [bag](https://www.amazon.com/KAVA-STRAINER-BAG/dp/B00N1B3RKA/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1481127396\u0026amp;sr=8-7\u0026amp;keywords=kava+bag)\r\n3.  I have used plenty of the Wakacon kava, but have found it not so great.  If you are set on using amazon, [try this instead](https://www.amazon.com/Kava-Root-Farm-Fresh-Noble/dp/B011Z1PFB6/ref=pd_sim_121_6?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\u0026amp;refRID=1PKR6NQ1JHE7ZCMANMT5).\r\n\r\n\r\nPreparation for ONE Cup (8oz.) of Kava: ^(multiply accordingly for more, I usually make 6 cups per batch and put it in a pitcher in the fridge)\r\n\r\n1.  2-3 tablespoons of kava into the bag.  Place bag in a container or bowl large enough to hold the water + bag.\r\n2.  Pour one cup of very hot (not boiling, but hotter than you would want to keep your hand in for more than 1-2 seconds) water *directly into the bag*.  Close / tie up bag.\r\n3.  Let sit for 5-10 minutes.  \r\n4.  For at least 10 minutes, knead the crap out of that bag!  Pull it out of the water, squeeze all the water out of the bag.  Mash it with your hands.  Dunk it back in and soak it and mash it.  Really work that shit.  Hard!\r\n\r\nEnjoy your buzz.\r\n\r\n\r\nEdity:   As far as drinking it goes, a \"shell\" is roughly 4-5 ounces.  Drink one every 10-20 minutes until you feel sufficiently relaxed.\r\n\r\nEdity2:  I know that the alluball seems great.  I was pretty stuck on it at first.  Let me just say that it in no way will provide what you will get out of \"rubbing it out\".  It really isn't that much more effort, and completely 100% worth it in every way.  Also, your Kava should look like [coffee with cream](http://www.manabarlawrence.com/Kava.jpg) added (not see-through at all).","subreddit_name":"Kava","author":"themeteorpolice"},{"body":"“[Wakacon Kava Strainer Bag Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1B3RKA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WHQ81766T4D3NESWCJSK?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1)” on Amazon.\r\n\r\nI don’t use Kava anymore, but the strainer is huge and works great.","subreddit_name":"Kava","author":"mightiestowl"},{"body":"WAKACON PRO Premium KAVA Strainer Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1B3RKA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MUrYCbEMK5VS7","subreddit_name":"Kava","author":"WakaConKava"},{"body":"Also I just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1B3RKA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\r\n\r\nWill that be sufficient?","subreddit_name":"Kava","author":"nextonescomingfaster"}]}
