Kava is a mildly sedative drink made when the crushed root of the yaqona plant, a relative of the pepper plant, is strained with water into a large communal bowl. The drink was historically made by cutting yaqona roots into small pieces, which were then chewed and spat into a bowl, where the contents were mixed with coconut milk. The chewing of the root was believed to extract the active ingredients while producing a more delicious beverage. However, this practice is no longer common except among some locals.
