As the other person mentioned, the base of pho is the stock which includes steeped plants. So it's tea with some other things thrown in it.

So if a deranged person drinks the broth without eating the ingredients, did they then turn their pho into tea?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Pho is just a loose-leaf tea.
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 10 months ago
that’s only true if you eat tea leaves.
Censored@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No, because you don’t really make tea by boiling tea leaves. Tea is an infusion made from pouring hot water over tea leaves. Not boiling tea leaves.

they didn’t have pho to start with. they just drank one of the ingredients of pho.

Wait, so then we have the comparison all wrong. Pho isn’t Vietnamese Tea, Tea is British Pho?
