@@MisoHungrie You must've gotten a mild batch of lapsang souchong. My first time trying lapsang tea, the smokiness punched me in the face. Haven't touched the stuff since.
You could also smoke the glass-- cover the peel you lit on fire with an empty glass and let the smoke sit in there for a bit before quickly flipping it over and pouring the drink in after.
Tea, like coffee, is the kind of the drink that you either love it or hate it. You have to be a true connoisseur to really taste the differences in the variety of tea, otherwise they do just all taste about the same. Just like coffee, if you end up with bitter tea, you can always fix it with milk and sugar. 🍵
Very true! I feel that same way about coffee - I think they all taste the same but I know I don't have a refined enough palate to understand those specific flavor notes
that is not true when you use decent coffee or tea. I always blow away people's minds when they are used to teabags with some very simple but decent tea that actually has a unique taste ... most people have never tasted decent tea so they think they don't like it or it all tastes the same and the first step is actually using appropriate water for the tea if you use hard water it will taste terrible even if it's a good tea.
i love boiling the ginger until the water turns a nice amber color, squeezing a whole lemon into it and adding a small teaspoon of honey, the "subtle spice" of the ginger suddenly isnt very subtle and i adore it
@@Thisisabucketboi Uncle Iroh is either the best character in all of fiction or the second best character in all of fiction, the only Fictional character that can rival the greatness of Uncle Iroh is Robert E.O. Speedwagon.
im a big tea nut (mostly Western style) and i keep notes on grams of tea used in an infusion, brew temperatures, grams of milk/sugar etc... my notebook has an insignia on the cover from the Jasmine Dragon.
@@evanbrown4820To be fair, a lot of classic teas in the western market are made with adding milk or sugar in mind. Granted, I typically drink my teas plain, maybe a dash of honey if it's a bag or something, but I ultimately follow this tenet: Drink what you like, like what you drink. I will not judge you for your preference. Unless you drink instant tea, in which case you're an absolute heathen.
Tea nerd moment: technically, “tea” only refers to preparations of Camilla Sinensis: green tea, black tea, etc. Ginseng or ginger by itself is technically a tisane
Mine is Ginger and pepper when I am sick but I tried it with honey now. Must say the spicyness of the ginger and the sweetness of the honey is really comforting and feel nice on the throad. Good choice of yours after a long singing night and have fun to sing more ;)
It's always nice returning to this channel. When everyone is trying to outdo each other on the same content, it's nice to see people just experimenting, sharing information and enjoying things.
The background and overall experience of this video is so relaxing! Amazing dedication for making almost every thing from that section! Now I want to make the tea from the cookbook and make uncle iroh proud! 🍵 🫖
Glad to see some gong fu brewing in here (bender oolong). My favorite way to enjoy tea Edit: The smokey flavor of the nephew tea comes from the lapsang souchong which it often smoked as part of the curing process
I don't have a gong fu set yet, so I do a butchered version of it. I use my teapot as the tea vessel (it has an internal strainer for tea leaves), once the tea is ready I pour it all into a thermos, then I pour it out the thermos into my cup as needed, and the leaves are still there in the pot for further use
I’m the same, I don’t really like tea so when I go to bubble tea places I basically end up buying juice 😂 these all looked so nice and I loved how you plated them all in their own unique tea cups and pots!
Not going to lie, I was concerned when the first two recipes were tisanes. The red-blooded nephew blend sounds interesting, but the jasmine sounds like it’s trying too hard to be a recipe instead of just using all jasmine pearls.
I usually only drink jasmine pearls too, but I’m not too angry if in a store they mixed tea leaves to give a more unique flavor. After all why go to a tea shop if you can just brew tea leaves at home.
I highly recommend looking up Jesse's tea house if you have any curosity on chinese tea and how to make it properly to actually be very good. And one tip for tea leaf pouring, always pour the first steep out.
Appa Blend Tea is my favorite it reminds me of Thai Milk Tea, I’m more of person who likes blended tea especially with Milk like Karakoram Chai (Middile East) for non-sweet or Teh Trarik (Malaysia) for sweet taste.
As a fan of the cartoon i like the live action remake. Just hope that they bring more comedic moments. on the next two seaons. Have you been enjoying it miso? Btw iroh would be SO proud of you!
one of my favorite teas is jasmine pearl tea, One thing that you might you try is to use more of it compared to what you had now. when I brew tea, I usually do either half a tablespoon to a tablespoon for my leaves compared to a teaspoon. but thats just me.
lol I'm a tea purist. I may add honey and lemon if I'm feeling a bit under the weather but otherwise just the tea and the water for me. The odd occasion I do get boba I normally get mine without sugar added lol
these look like wonderful recipes i cant wait to try, great video. Also a tip if you've got good tea, like the puerh tea, you really dont wanna steep it for that long.
I love your videos so much, I get so excited when I see the notification! I’m glad to see you’re going back to previous recipe books too, I bought the Avatar one thanks to your video, so it’s awesome to see more recipes from it 🥰
Idk if it's true but one should rinse the tea leaves with some hot water and pour it out then brew the tea Great video as always love the details corresponding to the show
I’m crazy about tea! I think it also didn’t come out as strong since they didn’t write about pouring techniques. I don’t know much about it myself but I remember whenever my Cantonese ex poured me tea, there were a bunch of extra steps involved that really changed hot leaf water into tea. And definitely made it a whole lot stronger despite using far less tea leafs and flowers than I would’ve used. But it probably must’ve been too involved and detailed to add to a small themed cookbook. Great effort though! The lychee 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Well, at least the last three tea you left out, can be bought through from certain websites that Does sell actual tea. Like Jesse tea house shop, that sell authentic tea from china. But yeah, I bought the book too and I still need to buy some ingredients for doing some teas. Since I love tea! ❤ and nice that you did one on drinks this time.
I've always wondered what Iroh's tea tasted like. The show always makes it look so good and comforting. On another note, I was screaming at my computer for four minutes when I first tried to watch this video because there was no sound and I couldn't figure out why and thought my speakers were shot, then I realized I still had my headphones plugged in from when I was playing a horror game earlier and they were tucked under a blanket, which muffled the sound coming out of them.
I can and will talk your or anyone else’s ear off about tea if you let me. Seriously, someone please talk tea with me. I think others have already mentioned rinsing the oolong (what oolong was it btw?), using jasmine pearls (seriously questioning why the book calls for sencha and dried blossoms), and the lapsang souchong (sooo smoky) which covers most of what I wanted to say. If you ever do want to get into tea, imo a good tie guan yin is a great example of a really distinct tea, very floral and approachable. Jade oolong is also a good starter. I personally jumped in the deep end and went straight from those to to wuyi da hong pao, longjing, silver needle, and bai mudan among others. Also I am super jealous of your tea ware, especially that gaiwan and the strainer.
the jasmine blend is definitely my overall favorite of this selection, but I admit I never went to the trouble of doing the ginseng tea properly. also, your teapots and cups have lovely patterns!
Trying to make me emotional with soft-eyed Zuko and Iroh on the thumbnail I see! 🥹 Such a fun video! After living in Korea for five years I know I hate ginseng haha
I think I would add salt and lemon to the cucumber alo drink. But I think that’s just the Mexican in me 😂. I’m interested in trying the hot-blooded nephew. Sounds just like something I would like. My tea preference is either complex rich flavors or super sweet.
@@MisoHungrie my brother and I add lemon and salt to the cucumber flavor Gatorade all the time, and lemon and salt on cucumbers is a frequent snack in my family. So it just makes sense to me:
Tea, except for the sugary ones such as Arizona green tea or bubble tea, has never been my favorite because it tastes like water to me in some circumstances, but these look good!
Yo, I just went down the ALTA rabbit hole and found your channel! i love these videos! Do you do reviews for fanmade cookbook zines? I’ve done volunteer work for cookbooks about zelda, splatoon, pokemon and general nintendo. They’re not found at bookstores, since they’re funded by fans.
I really want to try the red-blooded newphew tea. I love tea, so the blend looks interesting and new, I'd love to try some =) I already know I'd like oolong, matcha, ginger and bobba (in that order) because I love those tea. So I'm for trying new stuff !
Thanks for sharing these as i was very curious since the last video where you tried the Avatar recipes. Only two little things to note about the "proper way of drinking tea" aka Gongfu Cha: First, when drinking quality loose leaf tea - do NOT drink the first steep! Good tea only develops is composed taste after the leaves are totally woken up. Second, if you're drinking any kind of loose leaved Green Tea (Sencha or the like) - Please never put boling water on it! For green tea specially it's important to use 80°C water.
I'm going to re-write those recipes because a lot of them are just wrong on so many levels but I guess they wanted it to be somewhat accessible but why use Jasmine flowers with sencha and jasmine pearls ??! that's insane just use the jasmine pearls (they went to a painstaking process to get naturally the aroma of jasmine into the pearls without the bitter taste of jasmine for you to add it and sencha a notoriously finicky tea to brew??!) whoever designed these recipes did not understand tea very well... (I feel like iroh drinking the hot leaf juice then throwing it out to make major changes around here). but it was really cool what you did in this video, I would recommend getting some Oriental beauty Oolong or maybe a tie guan yin those are relatively more accessible and have stronger and bolder flavors (oriental beauty is very naturally sweet and fruity and tie guan yin roasted and tasty almost spicy like cinnamon). get a decent chinese red tea (black tea "hong cha") and use it with the ginger and ginseng tea you will see a very nice complexity build up. for matcha start by making a past with cold water then add warm water in steps maybe use a little less also oatmilk is the best milk for matcha and consider getting yin to it's yang hojicha powder(if matcha sweet drink hojicha if hojicha sweet drink matcha also red bean paste sweets are delicious with matcha and other Umami teas) oh easy summer hack with any green tea and honestly most teas consider cold brews (in a container with soft water in the fridge over night strain and you got cold brew) it's sweeter than warm brew and easier to drink and doesn't need the best tea or any tea brewing skills.
im not a tea person, definitely a coffee person. ive tried some, i want to like tea but some of it just isnt great. i thing ginseng tea might be be something i like though since the flavor is good as long as it doesnt just taste like watered down ginseng.
Using fresh ginger for ginger tea somehow never occured to me! I'll have to try that. Hoping you'll review the Stardew Valley cookbook when that comes out :)

He knows that it's his nephew's favorite 🥹
@@OriginalBeardedHaggisomg iroh its you!
For the red-blooded nephew tea blend It likely got a lot of the smokeyness from lapsong souchong. Since it's a smoked black tea.
Ahh that makes a lot of sense. I remember getting a whiff of smokey aroma when I opened the pack and I didn't even put two and two together 😂
@@MisoHungrie You must've gotten a mild batch of lapsang souchong. My first time trying lapsang tea, the smokiness punched me in the face. Haven't touched the stuff since.
@@zeroraptor_yeah I have a jar of it in my tea cupboard, and every time I open it it's like a smokey punch in the nose
You could also smoke the glass-- cover the peel you lit on fire with an empty glass and let the smoke sit in there for a bit before quickly flipping it over and pouring the drink in after.
Tea, like coffee, is the kind of the drink that you either love it or hate it. You have to be a true connoisseur to really taste the differences in the variety of tea, otherwise they do just all taste about the same. Just like coffee, if you end up with bitter tea, you can always fix it with milk and sugar. 🍵
Very true! I feel that same way about coffee - I think they all taste the same but I know I don't have a refined enough palate to understand those specific flavor notes
Coffee is a lot stronger and more bitter for me, I like a nice earl grey tea
As a tea laymen I very much can taste the differences in the fancy teas my friend makes me drink
XD the woody ones aren’t my fave
Coffee is tea
that is not true when you use decent coffee or tea. I always blow away people's minds when they are used to teabags with some very simple but decent tea that actually has a unique taste ... most people have never tasted decent tea so they think they don't like it or it all tastes the same and the first step is actually using appropriate water for the tea if you use hard water it will taste terrible even if it's a good tea.
Ginger tea with honey is honestly the best when you’re sick. It’s just so soothing
Agreed!
i love boiling the ginger until the water turns a nice amber color, squeezing a whole lemon into it and adding a small teaspoon of honey, the "subtle spice" of the ginger suddenly isnt very subtle and i adore it
It also helps when you have a sore throat. It's been something my mom said she had as a kid during sick days.

Can you really call yourself a "Tea nut" if you add ingredients to make the tea not taste like tea though?

I love my coffee and tea, so maybe Imma try some of these out when I have time. Homemade Bubble Tea sounds interesting af.
The reason the red blooded nephew tea is bitter is because pu’er is meant to be steeped for only a few seconds!
You should read how Tibetans make their puer!

I usually only drink jasmine pearls too, but I’m not too angry if in a store they mixed tea leaves to give a more unique flavor. After all why go to a tea shop if you can just brew tea leaves at home.
I highly recommend looking up Jesse's tea house if you have any curosity on chinese tea and how to make it properly to actually be very good. And one tip for tea leaf pouring, always pour the first steep out.
There are various reasons why people discard the first infusion but you don't have to. You can steep the first infusion normally and still drink it.
I would go to the jasmine dragón EVERY day to drink lychee juice, bubble tea, get advise from iroh and trying to get zuko to chose jin.❤❤❤❤❤
I still have to find that cookbook.
The idea of a four nation feast still sound like fun to me
Hope you're able to get your hands on it one of these days!
All seems like a delight for the senses. Especially scent.

No no clearly bender tea is named after bender rodriguez from futurama
its sweet snd tasty
that red fruit is famous in south korea because i live there
Only thing missing now is the banana onion juice.
I'm going to re-write those recipes because a lot of them are just wrong on so many levels but I guess they wanted it to be somewhat accessible but why use Jasmine flowers with sencha and jasmine pearls ??! that's insane just use the jasmine pearls (they went to a painstaking process to get naturally the aroma of jasmine into the pearls without the bitter taste of jasmine for you to add it and sencha a notoriously finicky tea to brew??!) whoever designed these recipes did not understand tea very well...

get a decent chinese red tea (black tea "hong cha") and use it with the ginger and ginseng tea you will see a very nice complexity build up.
for matcha start by making a past with cold water then add warm water in steps maybe use a little less also oatmilk is the best milk for matcha and consider getting yin to it's yang hojicha powder(if matcha sweet drink hojicha if hojicha sweet drink matcha also red bean paste sweets are delicious with matcha and other Umami teas)
oh easy summer hack with any green tea and honestly most teas consider cold brews (in a container with soft water in the fridge over night strain and you got cold brew) it's sweeter than warm brew and easier to drink and doesn't need the best tea or any tea brewing skills.
Really enjoyed the adaptation

I want uncle iros tea it has to be the best tea i mean all of the teas
If Uncle Iroh isn't your favorite character you need to start doing reps behind bars.
Please, do the studio Ghibli cookbook 🥺
"Iroh is my favourite character in this story" well obviously.
