Has anybody else here had kava kava?
Does anyone know of ways to making it taste better?

I see you're new, so welcome saadaya!!
In short, no you can't really make it taste better. What I usually do is blend it with other herbs I know have similar effects that will mask the taste. BUT if it is quality Kava, you shouldn't really have to worry too much about the taste, because within the first few sips, (I'm assuming you're making a tea like drink???) it will begin to numb your tongue and then mouth.

In the future this kinda post belongs either in:
1. The Kitchen Sink For basic chit-chat stuffs
2. Lean, Mean, Vegan Machine For health type stuffs (I'm assuming you're trying Kava Kava for therapeutic reasons?)
3. Dine 'n' Dish For general food questions.
These forums are still new to us too, so we're all kinda floundering as to what belongs where!
