How to Make Tropical Kava Drinks!

Kava Colada (On the Rocks or Blended)

This alcohol-free twist on a piña colada is a playful, tasty way to mask kava’s earthiness. Makes 2 to 3 servings.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 Tbsp. kava kava powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1oz coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp. Cacao Powder (Optional)
  • 2-3 organic orange wedges (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine kava kava powder, pineapple juice, coconut milk, coconut cream and orange juice in a blender.
  2. Blend for 4 minutes and strain out kava pulp with a kava strainer bag.
  3. Pour in a festive glass over ice
  4. OPTIONAL Sprinkle with cacao powder and garnish with an orange wedge.
  5. OPTIONAL: For a frozen style treat, take your pineapple juice and freeze 3/4 cup (about 6 cubes worth) overnight. Do not add the pineapple juice when blending and after you've removed the kava by straining it, add the mixture back to the blender along with 6 pineapple ice cubes and 6 water ice cubes and pulse until thick (being sure to not over mix or you just get a cold liquid drink.)

Note: You can make a non-caffeinated chai tea and freeze those into cubes in place of the water ice cubes for a bit more spice and flavor.
