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~ Carmen |

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. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

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. Carmen |

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.

The "Transparento," perhaps. And Tazo sure ain't tea... what do boiled coffee leaves taste like? --Blair |

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

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. Carmen |

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

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. > wrote in message ... >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. |

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. Michael > I've heard this same rumor but I've never seen it served.

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. wrote: > 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. |
