The other day my 13 year old brother decided to make a tea smoothie. I have no idea what got him into this. He's a strange kid- let's just leave it at that.
He did as follows:
1. Made one cup of hot rosemary flavored tea
2. Mixed the tea with fruit, milk, juice and ice like a standard smoothie
3. Mixed it well in a smoothie maker
It was one of the most disgusting smoothies I have ever tasted of my existence. At first glance, it looked fine, except for the weird looking foam at the top. For the record, my bro is quite the smoothie maker, but that smoothie was nasty. I guess tea is not a good substance when used to make a smoothie. It simply just ruins the flavor. So don't try to make a tea smoothie at home. It tastes like flavored toilet water with a hint of lime.
He also made a movie of himself making tea, initially supposed to be a “how to make tea for dummies” but ended up being a “how to not do it.” I’m actually considering posting this video because it’s so dumb it makes you laugh. Speaking of movies, I might start posting movies made by me with some relevance to tea to make The Tea Drinker more interesting and fun.

Some people believe in "different" smoothies. Check out: www.YerbanLegend.com
ReplyDeleteIt's based on a personal experience. I'm not saying tea smoothies are bad in general, I guess you would really have to know what your doing in order to get a good result.
