With the amount of "enhancements" in your average cereal, it would probably still be edible

been trying to eat more natural foods these days, but what's constantly stopping me is laziness to cook & fear of early expiration from mishandling :c

Yeah, why is healthy food not as quick to prepare? Lazy people like me deserve to be healthy too 😅

No chocolate flapjack for me

I have to drink bucketloads of the stuff. Luckily, I like it!

you ever experiment with flavors or are you just a plain water aficionado for life?

 

[Starlight]

Love it plain. Not keen on flavoured water. I think I'm some kind of water demon tbh.

The nearest I get to flavouring is green tea. I love most green tea!

 

[Roni]

237157

hard same. adding flavor just makes it seem like really washed out juice y'know? i've yet to try tea tho but i might in the future!

 

[Starlight]

237158

Yeah, that's exactly why I dislike it too. It's always in the wishy-washy zone of meh-ness. Plus I like the taste of plain water :)

Green tea done right, is beautiful and delicate and the perfect balance of flavours. Badly brewed green tea is... 🤢

 

[Roni]

237159

hmm interesting. how does one brew tea correctly?

All teas are different, I have some that I need to brew for three times as long as others, despite looking the same!

Generally though, you want to use water at the correct temperature. Soft water helps too but temperature is the real secret. Never use boiling water to brew tea, especially green.

Your water should be no higher than 85 degrees Celsius - I use 80 - and sometimes even lower. The lower temperature brings out the teas inherent sweetness and flavours. If you use water that's too hot, or brew for to long, or (shudder) both, you will end up with something very bitter and astringent :(
