Kava kava powder in gel capsules vs. drink?

ordered kava kava powder and empty gel capsules. Would it be better to put the powder into the capsules or make a drink with it? And if I need to make a drink is the taste bad? I usually can't stand swallowing nasty tasting things, so if there's a drink that makes it so I can't taste it then that'd be lovely.
Thank you so much in advance.

 

By Kava Kava powder you mean root powder right?

It doesn't taste great but it doesnt taste horrible. Kinda like clay and it freezes your face a bit like orajel. It's not meant to be sipped, it's meant to be gulped. Just before you chug it you say ''BULA!'' It's the fiji equivalent of ''cheers'' or something like that.

I've never tasted it in pill form to be honest so I wouldn't know. It's better to keep this things traditional anyways, just drunk it
