The Perfect Kava Tea Recipe for Fall By Kalm with Kava Kava Tea with Rooibos Chai and Pumpkin Spice. We bring you a very special, seasonal, kava tea drink. Each fall it’s not just the leaves that change color. Offices, stores, houses, clothing, our entire environment turns orange colored. And on the food and drink front, fall is characterized by the addition of pumpkin spice to every conceivable thing. This year, we’ve decided to join in the fun by adding this Creamy Pumpkin Spice Chai Kava Tea Drink to the repertoire of pumpkin recipes out there. Pumpkin spice is perhaps a perfect pairing for a kava tea drink. It has a strong flavor that is ideal for helping to mask the unpleasant bitter taste that kava is known for. At the same time, pumpkin spice also has a somewhat earthy flavor, just like kava. Spices overall are an ideal complement to a drink of kava, even supposedly making it more potent, so it’s easy to see how a kava chai recipe makes total sense. Kava for social relaxation So, for an extra Happy Halloween this fall we suggest you invite some friends over and brew up a cauldron of our […]

How to Make Kava Taste Better If you want to know how to make kava taste good, trying out some kava recipes is a great place to start. Many people love kava’s amazing relaxation effects. Few however, are in love with its earthy taste. Kava is an acquired taste. Mixing kava with other nonalcoholic drinks: juices, teas, or purées and flavors can mask kava’s bitterness and create a more flavorful beverage. Many kava bars recommended that first time kava drinkers start by trying the equivalent of a kava “mocktail.” By mixing kava with other drinks and flavorings they have created their own unique recipes to make drinking kava more palatable. Kava chasers are also common. A kava chaser is a slice of fruit or nuts that you eat immediately after chugging down a shell of kava to quickly eliminate its’ unpleasant flavor and refresh your palate. Below we share with you our favorite kava drink recipes. Some coming from our own Kalm with Kava kitchen, some coming from our favorite kava bars, and others sent to us by customers. If you have a favorite recipe not listed here, feel free to share with us, and we’ll add it to the […]
