Teaspresso

[andygates]

It was suggested elsewhere that tea in an espresso style might be interesting. In the spirit of culinary experimentation that led to the nasty catfood curry (damn you Spike, damn you to hell!) and the extremely good black pudding salad, here goes: Take some tea, and a good pump espresso machine. Load the tea as you would coffee, and make your short shot.

Dear gods, that's fucking horrible.

Pillock.

I am wondering why it did not occur to you that someone may have tried this before and that, it it were not utterly hideous, you might have seen it on menus and stuff.

Well, no. Just that it might be my kind of hideous. Which it is assuredly not. You get the metallic, thin end of tea - which could be nice if you didn't also get the dishwatery cabbage notes. And none of the body.

For a stewed-Assam boy, this is doubleplus bad.

You appear to have forgotten the time at Compuserve when I made you a cup of tea using three teabags...

Cruel and unusual nourishment...

This just opens my eyes to a world of possiblities...

Banana espresso?

Ibruprofen espresso?

Natural herbal high espresso?

You can't unthink it once you've thunk it. And you're not alone... google for "hashspresso" and discover that thing.
