    If you love to drink coffee, but don’t like to eat coffee beans directly as a food, you actually like hot water more than you like coffee.

        It is good, and I sometimes drink it myself, but remember to be careful if drinking hot water outside in autumn or early winter.

        If a leaf falls from a tree and lands in your cup, you’ll have discovered Tea - and last time that happened, some folk from a tiny island ended up with an empire covering half the planet.

          I never actually thought about how tea was discovered, and my new headcanon is that some weird person was just drinking hot water, some leaves fell in their cup, and they were too lazy to just get some clean water

            I want to know who the hell invented nettle tea. Like, let’s try putting the stinging leaves in water and ingesting them.

            As a wise man once said

            You can eat anything if it is fried

            I just assumed someone desperate figured if they could boil this stuff it might be food.
