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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah this. Biggest mistake most people that hate tea make is they dont bother learning that tea has specific temps for brewing depending on the leaves and that pouring boiling water off the stove on it will make most teas bitter.

Many teas are best at 85-90C, just off the boil.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

I guess I'm an ingredient purist, preparation rebel. If your house is surrounded by tea plants, and the tea leaves fall in the gutter, how is that different from brewing tea the normal way?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Water isn't the ideal temperature. Everyone knows black tea must be made with water that's 212-210 degreases Fahrenheit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I mean, he's not going to have black tea anyways as it won't have been prepared correctly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

JFC, for someone so bent about the proper way to prepare tea, one would think you'd be able to spell "degrees"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

LOL I know how to spell degrees. I probably hit the wrong key and spellcheck autocorrected it to something random. Welcome to 2024.

Hey, that's basically tea's origin story.

In Chinese legendEmperor Shennong was drinking a bowl of just boiled water because of a decree that his subjects must boil water before drinking it.[12] Some time around 2737 BC, a few leaves were blown from a nearby tree into his water, changing the color and taste. The emperor took a sip of the brew and was pleasantly surprised by its flavor and restorative properties.

mighty brave for an emperor to see that their water has changed color, and decide to try it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah. Likely an emperor's chief taster/minion discovered Tea and credit was stolen.

Does your gutter contain 90°C hot water?
