I understand that mixing coffee and tea in the same cup is widely
popular in many Asian countries.

Wondering if anyone in the news group has encountered this sort
of beverage -- are there standard ways of preparing this beverage,
etc.

At Starbucks you get a previously unused cup of hot water and a Tazo
teabag. I'm curious, how do you manage to mess that up and get coffee
in it? :-P~

I seem to always get water with coffee contamination. The problem is that
coffee oils get onto anything that is used to store coffee, and once it
has been used for coffee you shouldn't ever use it for hot water.

That's odd. The source of the hot water at the *$ here is the
dedicated hot water spigot on the plumbed-in commercial Bunn. It's
separate from sources of coffee contamination. That's pretty standard.

Next time ask the barista to draw your water from the tap and heat it
with the steam wand. Explain about the coffee contamination if they
ask.

Seems to me that back in grad school when I had to finish a paper I
would brew a mug of tea using 2 or 3 teabags and then add a couple of
spoonfuls of instant coffee.

No-Doz would have made more sense.

Starbucks would come up for a name for "previously unused cup of hot
water" implying it's a variety of coffee. The "Transparento," perhaps.

And Tazo sure ain't tea... what do boiled coffee leaves taste like?

Ethiopians are apparently fond of coffee leaves boiled to make a tea. It's called kootee or qutti.

Thanks,

<laughing> Let me guess, you're replying from the tea group? I enjoy
tea, but what sort varies widely with my mood, the weather, my
hairstyle (just kidding about the last one). On a cold brisk windy day
I might well go for an ill-mannered but brawny cup of good old Lipton
tea. On a cold winter's evening I might opt for a Celestial Seasonings
herbal tea and on cool morning in early spring go for some Wedgwood
Darjeeling. My true love (see also: obsession) is coffee, but teas
definitely have their place.

I think not, but if you're drinking weak Tazo while smelling strong
coffee, it might certainly seem like it. Toci

I've heard this same rumor but I've never seen it served. I don't know if
it is an urban legend or not.

Interesting theory ... I like it. I was desperate or groggy, and
stupid, when I mixed the two (more than once), and the result was
incredibly bad. Never again!

Pretty damned popular in the Chinese restaurant dives of
Brooklyn, where you'll have no trouble at all finding it.
Comes with lots of half and half, to add insult to injury.

I don't know if it's that popular in Asian countries, or different
country has its own beverage like that, but then this is often served
in Hong Kong style cafes.

Some of you might have heard about the Hong Kong style milk tea -- a
very traditional and popular drink in HK culture -- strong over-steeped
black tea with condensed milk.

Now, if you take only half the cup of HK style milk tea and add
coffee... that's the drink in question. It's called Yun Yeung (of
course, the name is slightly related to the famous Ying Yang in the
sense that the drink is a mix of two seperate beverages.

I've tried it several times, but I still prefer highly the HK style
milk tea.

Preperation wise... the coffee part should be easy, cuz HK people
usually just use instant coffee. The milk tea part is a bit impossible
to imitate. The milk tea has been a HK staple drink for so many
decades, each cafe has their own receipes... sometimes a cafe can get
so famous with its milk tea that people visit the cafe just to have a
cup. Even those HK style cafes in Toronto fail to bring justice to this
beverage.

And then, what's tasty to HK people can be totally different from
people from other parts of the world, or even, from tea drinkers who
are not used to add milk to their teas.

I don't believe that mixing coffee and tea together tastes good. If
someone does have a recipe for one of these mixed drinks that tastes
good, I would be interested in hearing it as well.
