I collected it from outside my window..  Should be quite clean as far as bodily fluids go..

maybe... but as far as purity is concerned... with the amount of air pollution in the greater northeast, i'm sure that is acid snow you're using...

Hrrmm...

well.. I'm Uber-Sifo..  so... doin' the black-tea here which is highly acidic..

I don't think the acidity in the water is strong enough to alter the PH balance much..


But HONESTLY..  it tastes.. more transparent vs faucet water,  like when I've used distilled water...

Hrrmm...

I think milk tea's probably been around for a long time..

I'd think any -peoples- with domesticated milk producing animals, goats,cows, horses may have done milk-teas.

um... well...... hard to say.. but I'm pretty sure half of the most popular teas in China are black/red/oolong <same **** (oxidized)>  so... overall, any of those teas would work fine with milk, and would taste similar..


Green tea for me is very light in flavor, and if you add milk, you'd get even less -tea-.. so in that sense I don't think milk is good for green..

ALTHOUGH,,, this is preference realm..  so there's no sense in arguing my tea can beat up your tea..



I think Tea is just a default -thing-to-do-  for asians..  TBH, Sometimes I just start making tea for no reason,  I'm not thirsty,  it just happens..

No way man.. that **** gives me nosebleeds.. too "补".. at least i think that's why.. or maybe There was something else in the tea when I drank it..

OR it could've been cuz I was in beijing with the low humidity..

IDK..

That was the first thing I red this morning and it gave me a deep and peaceful instant of zen.
Thank you ^^

Hope you boiled that snow for at least 5 minutes.
