Is kava better in hot or cold water?

I'm curious to know, when it comes to preparing kava, does the temperature of the water play a significant role in its effectiveness or taste? Are there any notable differences between using hot and cold water to prepare kava? Is there a general consensus among KAVA enthusiasts on which method is preferred, or does it ultimately come down to personal preference? I'm eager to learn more about the best practices for preparing this traditional beverage.
