Grandpa Style in a Coconut
I simply threw a few leaves at the bottom of the coconut, and poured in some boiling water, adding more boiling water as a drank, just as you would drinking a tea grandpa style. I thought that I wouldn't like drinking tea through a straw, but using it actually meant that I could drink the tea while it was still a little too hot without burning my mouth, as the tea cooled significantly in its passage up the straw.
The result was much better than I thought it would be, as the coconut and puerh played off themselves nicely, with neither overpowering the other. The tea also maintained a pretty nice qi, which I wasn't expecting from the method.
Who needs teapots anyways?

Interesting. Why don't you dry the shell out for future use?

Not a bad idea, but the shell wasn't really in the best shape. I am tempted by the idea of drying one out and storing some tea in it, but that's a lot of wasted tea if the result isn't good.bagua7 wrote:Interesting. Why don't you dry the shell out for future use?
And the thought of putting any of my teapots in the dishwasher is frightening

This is weird, but I could see it being good. Don't really like fruit with my tea, but coconut would go with puerh. Especially the cooked stuff.

But more importantly, what did you do with all that brick being bound up by the desert?
Re: Grandpa Style in a Coconut
I was wondering if anyone would comment on that. I wasn't playing Settlers at the time, that is just our table. It is a custom map for a cooperative variant, with the hexes under a sheet of glass. The brick is kinda stranded there, but having a gold hex and light temple near by means that it's sometimes worth going for, though probably not until later in the game.Evan Draper wrote:But more importantly, what did you do with all that brick being bound up by the desert?

Re: Grandpa Style in a Coconut
Hmmm... I have some metal straws which go well with this idea!
Should try a coconut gaiwan
