I would try some saturn
It’s only tea if it’s made from the tea region of the plant. Anything else is sparkling suspension
Tea preparation rebels are not constrained by shallow concepts like ‘being edible’
Preparation futurist, Ingredient singularity:
There’s a singularity in that nebula.
I have never rewatched Voyager and I think I have to soon.
Saturn is a mixture of gases. It has a solid rocky/hydrogen core surrounded by a layer of liquid hydrogen/helium. You could argue that this intermediate liquid layer might have solid particulates, and this would agree with the definition, but overall Saturn is too complicated to be classified this way. A better extreme example would be something like Earth’s oceans.

An AI would give a generic definition of Saturn and a generic definition of tea and then say something irrelevant like “scientists disagree about the exact composition of Saturn’s core”
As miso soup enjoyer i can confirm it’s tea, because it’s relaxing & delicious
So because i make cold berry tea in summer and think coffee is a tea too, i’m a “crude oil is tea” sort of guy? 🤨
What, you don’t enjoy a nice iced crude oil on a hot summers day?
Son, fetch me another can of that crude oil, I’m mighty parched
How 'bout a little dollop of microplastics on my asbestos pancakes? Got a long day of work ahead.
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.
What about stock? Take some bones, spices, and vegetables; boil them in water; and strain out all the solids. You’re left with nothing but a flavored liquid.
sure, stock is tea. the base of pho is tea, but pho isn’t pho until you at least put some noodles in it. Until then, it’s just ingredients for pho.
In that instance a clogged gutter is still tea
Only the juice collected from the underside of the clogged gutter is the tea.
This is cool. Why would I want this?
I’ve never used it, but the idea is that nutrient uptake will be faster than if someone just dressed the top of the soil with compost. The extra aerobic bacteria could also be beneficial.
For liquid fertilizer, but seems silly when you can get the same results but just throwing the compost in the water and stirring it around, letting the solids sink to the bottom.

This is the way
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.
Really feels like one should be “tea is made from tea”
This and the cube rule are the best way to make an argument for categorizing edible items
Ever had Chinese medicine?
If you boil coffee it’ll be over extracted, bitter, and nasty.
Same applies to green tea. Shouldn’t go over 175F, or it’ll be overly bitter as it extracts more caffeine.
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.
