6 Nut-Flavored Syrups We Like
There are a surprising number of nut-flavored syrups out there. I've tried several—at coffee shops and at home—to see what works best in different types of hot drinks. Some are better in lattes, others in tea. Here are six recommended flavors.Seriously Asian: Tea Smoking
Though I never went through a rebellious stage, where I took up vices like drinking and drugs, I have gotten in trouble in the past for smoking. Smoking fish and meat, that is. The first time I tried smoking a fish in a wok, the fumes from the kitchen crept underneath my front door and attracted the ire of my passing landlord, who wasn't even the least bit assuaged by offerings of smoked cod perfumed with the scent of charred jasmine tea and jasmine riceThis Week in America's Test Kitchen: A Better Way to Brew Tea; Rating Innovative Tea Pots
America's Test Kitchen tested four small teapots with unusual strainers and dispensing mechanisms that promised to make dealing with loose tea mess-free. In each case, they used the same tea and a four-minute steeping time. But they did find one favorite that met all their criteria, brewing good, strong tea and keeping loose leaves in check with its ultra-fine-mesh strainer. Watch the video above for more about these picks, or read the full comparison on America's Test Kitchen (free registration required).Quiz: How Much Do You Know About Tea?
Black tea forms the basis of most teas in America, from homemade iced teas to powdery Lipton mixes. But there are so many other varieties, and the broad spectrum of aromas and tastes can make teas worth another look (and taste!). How much do you know about tea? Take the quiz! »Gadgets: One-Touch Tea Maker by Breville
Breville's latest gadget, the One-Touch Tea Maker ($249.99 at Sur La Table stores), officially hits the market today, but we were able to get a sneak peak. If you love tea, this one's for you—in fact, this tea lover had mentally designed a similar gadget months ago in hopes it would one day exist.Kombucha: The Acquired Taste for Funky-Tasting Fermented Tea
It's hard to compare the taste of kombucha (comb-boo-cha), the fermented tea drink, to anything else. Vinegary, fizzy, cider-y, or just plain nasty if you haven't given it a chance yet. Then again, some people (particularly those who drank vinegar as a kid) like it from sip one. The leaders of the market are GT's Kombucha, but brands like Honest Tea are appearing on shelves, and some "kombuchaseurs" are brewing their own at home.Submarine Tea Infuser
"We all live in a yellow submarine"? "I'm on a submarine mission for you, baby"? (Insert other cheesy submarine-related pop-culture references here?) [Photographs: monkey-bus.co.il] This is kinda neat. From Tel Aviv–based design house Monkey Business, the Tea Sub launches tea leaf goodness into your morning mug. Unfortunately, like so much of what gets blogged about on design blogs, it doesn't seem to be available for sale anywhere online, so we're just all gonna have to admire it and say Cute! [via swissmiss]...'Hanger Tea,' T-Shirt Teabags
[Yanko Design] Is this the best design for a teabag? I can think of a few problems—if the hook holds to the top of the mug, the teabag only can float so far down as the water drains, and they tend to float upwards as it is. Still, this "Hanger Tea," designed by Soon Mo Kang, is so cute I almost don't care. I'd buy a tea T-shirt. (Tea-shirt?) [Yanko Design]...Serious Heat: Cayenne Tea to Cure the Sniffles
"My sinuses cleared up pronto, which made the slight pain worth it." [Flickr: alancleaver_2000] Between the trigger of allergies and start of flu season, people go to great lengths to relieve their sinuses during fall. Take my childhood friend, Elizabeth. When we were younger, black pepper was too spicy for her. Though her palate has since become stronger, she's still on the low end when it comes to heat tolerance. [Flickr: ArielAmanda] So I was surprised when she told me how successful cayenne tea was in helping her allergies. "I read in Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford that cayenne pepper will alleviate congestion, so I figured it would be easiest to use in a tea," she said....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
