"Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights."
"Sit down and have some jasmine tea".
😡 "I don't need any calming tea! I need to capture the Avatar!"
I am reading this in uncle iroh’s voice😂😂😂
“Please sit, why don’t you have some calming, jasmine tea 🍵”
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.
Uncle iroh is BEST uncle and the jasmine dragon the best tea shop of all time! ❤❤🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🔥🔥🔥
How the fuck does someone type like a robot, guess we know now
I agree! Uncle Iroh is everyone’s favourite character.
@@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.
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
Good to know. I always felt weird calling those drinks "tea"
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.
That's awesome! I'm sure Iroh would have loved to have a peek at your notes 😄
have you tried gongfu style?
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.
ill be honest outside of the tea the tea sets you use look so amazibg and make the tea look so well
Thank you! My wife's teacup and teapot collection really came in handy for this one haha
Iroh would be so proud of you
Ginger and Honey tea is my go-to before a night of singing.
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.
Glad you enjoy it!
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! 🍵 🫖
Thank you so much! And yeah Iroh rocks 🔥
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’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!
Thank you! And yeah if there's something other than tea on the menu that's the one I'll probably get 😅
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!
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.
yeah, was gonna say I only ever use pearls, and I am quite certain that's all Iroh uses too because pearls are easy to store and work with
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.
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!
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
Makes a lot of sense! Super smokey but I think it's something that I can get into after a few more tries
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 love my coffee and tea, so maybe Imma try some of these out when I have time. Homemade Bubble Tea sounds interesting af.
Iroh made tea sound tasty
All seems like a delight for the senses. Especially scent.
A wonderful presentation of all those teas. Love the dedication to how you set up the finished food in all your videos.
Thanks so much! 😊
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 🥰
Thank you so much!! Hope you're enjoying the Avatar cookbook 😁
obsessed with your avatar cookbook videos i would love to see more of that !! love ur content
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
Really glad I found your channel, about to binge all ur vids 🤙 really great quality!
super great video! I have this book but have never gotten around to making the recipes. I’ll be trying the cucumber aloe juice now for sure!
This is a soothing video. Thanks for making it
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.
Oooo never heard of Karakoram but I do really like Chai tea. Love the warming spices!
Ginseng is a really good vegetable it gives you energy actually and sharpens the mind
Those are some nice tea sets you’ve got!
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.
Love the tea tips! Thanks 😍
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.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah next time I'm definitely gonna use much more to get more of the flavor
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.
Thanks for the tip! That's a really good idea
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
Same, the only sweetened tea I sometimes drink is southern sweet tea.
same. The only tea I do add anything to is lapsang souchong because I like to mellow it out with milk and sugar
Now I'm in time for tea 😊 ☕
wait I thought Jasmine Tea was. his favorite because he drinks it 24/7
the fact that you basically reviewed all of the cookbooks I really wanted for some time now 🤣 I guess I found the right channel 🎉
Glad you're here! Many more cool cookbooks to come 👍
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’ve just found this channel and I Love it
"This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!"
"Uncle. That's what all tea is."
I can’t believe my own family member would say something like that 😂
@@maxharter5716how could a member of my own family say something so horrible!
We're gonna have to make some major changes around here
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!
Iroh = The Einstein of Tea 😂
A very nice showcase as usual! I like tea!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@MisoHungrie No problem! 😇
the cucumber aloe juice is so good ive made it part of my weeklies, its downright yummy!
It really is!
Depends on the Ocassion , If i eat oily and fried food , I like strong and punchy tea like Oolong tea , Puer Tea or Kaffir lime tea
I’d love to go the dragon 🐉 tea shop and some tea and meet zuko and uncle iroh ❤
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 wouldn't mind a series of doing each chapter in the book i think it would be fun
Ginseng thee is great. I drink ginseng with some mint leaves and a small pepper. Spicy fresh thee.
Good stuff!
WHAT. BRO. I once thought that, but I then found the art of Chinese Gongfu Tea brewing.
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 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah it's crazy to know that specific techniques, leaf types and even specific hot water temperatures can affect tea so much. Truly an art!
Tried making the ginger honey one it is awesome
I made the ginger tea,since its really easy to do and it was great 9/10
I live for a good tea. I like my tea strong and only with sugar and/or lemon. These seem really great though! I can’t wait to try some of them!
The stronger the better. Hope you enjoy them!
@@MisoHungrie Thank you!
Yaasss king werrrkkkkkk🎉🎉🎉 slaying it every time
LOL you kill me 🤣
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 !
I like black tea with honey lemon and ginger.
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.
That actually sounds like a really good idea! I think the saltiness and acidity would make the cucumber flavor pop even more
@@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:
I love tea
Because I idolized uncle Iroh, people started to recognize me as to being that artistic dude.
No no clearly bender tea is named after bender rodriguez from futurama
Jasmin tea is my favorite, but you gotta get the real stuff, which is jasmin infused green tea. So good!
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.
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.
its sweet snd tasty
I saw this video and it made me buy the book
Nice! Hope you enjoyed the book 👍
you are so good with these cookbooks; i wish i was the same lol
Nah I have my fair share of failures but thanks to this all of these videos I'm able to get quite a bit of practice in. It's all about the repetition!
@MisoHungrie thannks ill definitely keep trying!
Made me want to try warming Ginger tea now lol
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.
Lol what game?
@@MisoHungrie I was emulating a PS2 copy of Silent Hill 3 because I wanted to play it, but my PS2 died.
Uncel Iroh is a wonderful soul. I hope he is resting well.
Really enjoyed the adaptation
The bender tea reminded me of argentinian mate, because you drink it until the flavor just banishes haha
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!
i find the tea flavour isnt very strong in sugary tea type drinks lol. so i do agree that in a way they’re also sorta watered down
@@lostinlumiosecity lol, yeah, its mainly the sugar I like 💀.
Same!
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 :)
that red fruit is famous in south korea because i live there
I recommend for your future hot matcha to make milk foam to put on top.
My wife made me some of that the other day with my leftover matcha powder - sooo good!
Avatar might not get a perfect live action translation, but at least we can enjoy some treats well translated to our mouths.
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.
I want uncle iros tea it has to be the best tea i mean all of the teas
I'm not a tea fan, but I really liked stepping back into the avatar world & visiting Iroh's shop! Thanks for this lovely experience! 🪷
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
4:09 my bother would love
Please, do the studio Ghibli cookbook 🥺
Throwback to when I was like 10 or 11 yrs old and thought powdered ginger would work the same as steeping fresh ginger
I just noticed that when you poured the Japanese Sencha in the Jasmine Green part, there was a "J" in the tea pot
Can you do recipes from The Sims unofficial cookbook?
you should cook something from GMM's mythical cookbook!
I'm really curious MisoHungrie, are there any recipes throughout the ones you have featured in a video that you still go back to and make somewhat regularly?
Yup! The Braised Deathclaw Steak from the Fallout cookbook and the congee from the Overwatch cookbook are probably my two most revisited ones
@@MisoHungrie That's super cool to know, thank you for replying! 😃
"I told you ginseng tea is my favorite." - Iroh
8:39 If this tea’s named after Aang & Katara, it should’ve been named “Kataango Mango Tea”.😤
Honestly you kind of sound like Prince Wu! You should def do foods based of tlok!
I loooove tea I just never make it good at home )):
Did the recipe tell you to use that many cloves studded into the peel? Because that is a LOT of cloves, and you didnt even steep that part, it went right inot the cup. Clove is a VERY potent flavor so you only ever need a few to impart the flavor. I have no idea how much heating it that hard affects the flavor though so i am admittedly very curious.
Nope the recipe just asked for "studded lemon or orange peel" so I guess it's up to the reader's interpretation 🤷♀️
lmao of course usucha matcha is "tea leaf juice" XD
thats like the perfect tea for that nickname
LEAVES FROM THE VINE!!!
We need a spin off of atla that’s just iroh working at the shop
3:34 I think they are called "juju-bzz" BUT I like jujubees. :)
