The water temperature, between 40\u00b0C and 45\u00b0C (104-113\u00b0F), allows for the <strong>optimal extraction of kavalactones<\/strong>, the active compounds in kava. Water that\u2019s too hot, above 60\u00b0C (140\u00b0F), may diminish the potency of these compounds.   <sup data-fn=\"2fcbd646-a53d-483b-9163-9045add6b79c\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"2fcbd646-a53d-483b-9163-9045add6b79c-link\" href=\"#2fcbd646-a53d-483b-9163-9045add6b79c\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Infusion<\/strong> : Laissez reposer le m\u00e9lange pendant <strong>10 minutes<\/strong>, un peu comme une infusion pour le th\u00e9. Ce temps de repos permet aux <strong>kavalactones<\/strong> de bien se diffuser dans l&#8217;eau. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filtering<\/strong>: Strain the mixture through a <strong>filtration bag<\/strong> (kava filter) to remove solid residues and produce a smoother drink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Malaxage<\/strong> : Apr\u00e8s avoir filtr\u00e9, <strong>malaxez le filtre<\/strong> contenant la poudre de kava dans l&#8217;eau pendant <strong>5 minutes<\/strong> pour extraire un maximum de compos\u00e9s actifs.
