Comment on 3-bean soup
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoIt’s technically an infusion though I don’t know if that changes between hot or cold water. But I think teas are arbitrarily determined: We decided that the black tea plants are teas and the weeds next to them are not based entirely on choice.
Coke is a specific trademark connected to specific recipes. But colas are all based on the cola bean, and some decent ones that get close to Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola.

Black, green, oolong, white tea all come from the same plant. Its just processed differently. Everything that isnt from camellia sinensis isn’t a “true tea”.

See I didn’t know that, what with tons of herbal teas, but yeah the ones I look up seem to all be black tea + extras blended into a concoction.
