I’m sorry, but BOILING? You do not BOIL tea leaves unless you are an absolute heathen. You may pour just-off-the-stove, formerly boiling water over black tea leaves, making the tea about 210 degrees Fahrenheit. But you do NOT put allow water with tea leaves in it to BOIL unless you are seriously deranged.
“Preparation purist” is wrong. You don’t boil the tea, you steep it in hot water. For some teas, like black tea, you usually boil the water before pouring it over the tea, but other types of tea use water that isn’t as hot (e.g. around 70-80°C for green tea).
Also, if you actually want to be an ingredient purist, tea must be made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis (or a closely related species).
You’re arguing with a meme that put clogged gutter as pure tea ingredient
Correct. That would be tea as long as it’s camellia sinensis.
You’re a purist.
Im also correct
100% agreed.
Though I’m firmly in the “coffee is tea” camp
Coffee is hot bean juice
Coffee with vanilla and soy milk is a three bean soup.
As a bean purist, I have to disagree. (My puristic view: a bean can only come from a legume.) It’s a one bean soup.
AKA Chili.
Preparation futurist, Ingredient singularity:
except… with “pure” tea you don’t consume the original ingredient. (eating tea leaves or coffee grounds? eeww.)
pho, etc you do. ergo, not tea.
Pho is just animal oil/juice suspended. Everything else is like milk, honey, lemon, sugar, etc. that people do consume in tea.
what about the rice noodles, chicken, mushrooms, etc etc.? come on.
So if a deranged person drinks the broth without eating the ingredients, did they then turn their pho into tea?
they didn’t have pho to start with. they just drank one of the ingredients of pho.
Wait, so then we have the comparison all wrong. Pho isn’t Vietnamese Tea, Tea is British Pho?
no.
Pretty sure its pronounced “Nuh”
I would try some saturn
Anyone who would say no to a nice hot cup of Saturn is deranged.
Beef tea was when people would boil jerky to rehydrate it. I actually do that at work sometimes! Most nights I enjoy bouillon broth on its own, but occasionally I’ll spruce it up with a little jerky, and it actually thicken up and get more tender! It also GREATLY enhances the flavor of the broth. When the dry night air of the office is bothering my throat, nothing satisfies quite like warm broth.
(I get hot water by not putting any coffee grounds in the coffee machine. I also use this to prepare tea on occasion, and also ramen cups every once in a blue moon)
+1 for coffee machine cup ramen, a very useful technique that I implement often.
It’s only tea if it’s made from the tea region of the plant. Anything else is sparkling suspension
This is cool. Why would I want this?
