I enjoy the relaxing effects of kava from time to time.... I use cold water for mine. I put my powder in a piece of unbleached broadcloth, secure it well, and knead it in the water for 5-10 minutes, 'til the bag of powder starts to lose is 'oily' feel. You need to drink it immediately, its not something to make ahead and store for more than an hour. Its not a pleasant tasting stuff, but its not horrible either. Thai ice tea makes a good chaser, I haven't tried it with cold coffee.

If you search online, you can usually find several suppliers of kava powder. Look for a grower, don't get it from a vitamin or pharmaceutical supply.
