Traditional kava is generally prepared by working the kava in water and filtering it through an appropriate strainer.
Instant Kava is designed for faster preparation and should be mixed according to the directions supplied with the product.
Follow the instructions for the product you purchase rather than assuming that every kava format should be prepared in exactly the same way.

| Area | Local context | Delivery utility | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
