Indian scientists are supposed to have developed a 'tea pill'. The pill, which is made from natural tea ingredients can be chewed or dissolved in hot or cold water .. to prepare instant tea!
Amazing. I, for one will definitely give it a try when it comes out (sometime this year). After coming to the US, I tried to keep my tea drinking habits alive, but it would just take too long. So I switched to coffee. However, Prashant and Ajit with their zeal for daily tea kept the habit alive and kicking. [They were my roommates and coerced me to make tea every morning].
Anyhoo .. tea from tea bags is okay .. but cant really make up for the real thing. So I am hoping this new pill thing would do the trick. Bring it on!
That would be like instant tea. However the taste of percolated coffee and brewed tea can never be made up for.
