20181107_9318_EOS M-42 Diwali #2 Mixing Kava

 

Kava is a traditional drink among many of the South Pacific islands (Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga etc), but has been adopted by the Indians in Fiji as a social drink, especially those who do not drink alcohol.

 

It is made from the powdered root/stem of the Piper methysticum bush. It is expensive (in New Zealand about NZ$120/kg).

 

Mukesh, our host for Diwali celebrations was mixing the first batch with water.
