    My friends and I invented a cocktail that we call a "Landmine," which is fig flavored Redbull, Ouzo or Rakija, and either a shaving of ginger or a splash of ginger ale. The name refers to the fact that it is high energy, tastes like something that came out of the ground, and contains a flammable substance found all over the Balkans.

    Matcha is just exactly what you described - green tea (traditionally steamed, which is how japanese green teas are heat shocked to shut down the temperature sensitive enzymes that cause the oxidation, whereas Chinese greens are pan fired for a less grassy, vegetal green) and milled ultra, ultra fine.
    Caffeine wise, green tea has very low bioavailability of the caffeine to be extracted in water, if I recall, it's because tea binds it's caffeine differently to coffee, but I did do a dichloromethane extraction in lab once on green tea and coffee and per gram, the tea was about 8% the level of coffee.
    However, when you eat the whole leaf in matcha, you are able to extract nearly all of thr caffeine in the leaves, so a serving matcha has about as much caffeine as a similar serving of coffee.
    But I've only done caffeine extractions in lab a few times. Dichloromethane is great at pulling out all he available caffeine (it's an industrial decaffeinator, steam also works) but it'd be fun to try matcha sometime.

    • @paulhammer4941
      @paulhammer4941 Před rokem +21

      Even more important than the processing of Japanese tea is the growing. Japanese tea tends to come from young plants grown under heavy shade whereas Chinese tea tends to come from older plants grown in rocky soil in the full sun. The young age of the plants and the lack of light lead to an enormous increase in L-theanine and other compounds that impart the intensely salty, soupy, umami-rich flavor often associated with Japanese tea (particularly sencha.)

    • @colinmartin9797
      @colinmartin9797 Před rokem +17

      @Paul Hammer oh yeah forgot that - but the supwr shaded and super young leaves part is only for matcha, really. Most sencha is of the same shade and age as Chinese green teas. Only matcha gets the youngest buds and is shaded for weeks prior.
      I'd be interested in doing an isolation and sequencing of the genomes of the various teas because L-threonine is not really shade dependent (it's believed to be made in the roots) and is a major component of all tea flavors, it's actually highest in yellow tea, a Chinese varietal. The grassy notes most associates with sencha come from steaming as an enzyme deactivator, and the racemic threonine should be more present in pan fired teas.
      But it's also just a lot of marketing. A lot of food science, particularly around specialty foods, is more speculation than hard lab science
      The main flavor difference is in the heat method used to stop enzymatic oxidation.
      I've tested this myself with young buds from a Japanese tea Camilla I have in my yard - I took a handful of young buds and steamed half and pan fired half. The difference was really obvious, with the steamed tea being Grassier and more vegetal and the pan fired being earthier.
      Home made tea is really fun! This year i want to try making oolong and black.

    From what I understand, caffeine comes off coffee grounds into water fairly easily. You get 99% of the caffeine with the first flush of water. What you get steeping the water in the grounds is taste and layers of flavor. More coffee beans and less water = more caffeine.

    COLD BREW CLARIFICATION: the ratio of coffee to water is generally always around 1:4
    (also cold brew technically has the most caffeine for a standard coffee drink, but drinks like americanos and lattes that might have 4 shots of espresso often contain more caffeine. i think the thing is, people drink cold brew quickly because it's easy to kinda chug it, so it hits a bit harder+there's less milk to dilute it in the stomach)

      The average of all the cold brews comes to about 26 milligrams of caffeine per fluid ounce (30 milliliters). This puts it directly in line with hot brewed coffee.

    I would be really interested (based on your playing with the elevated jager bomb) to see what you could do with a different energy drink. My personal preference for energy drinks is actually NOS, because I find it to be one of the least cloyingly sweet energy drinks out there. Strong notes of orange, I feel like. Heck, my usual morning preparation for it is to take one of my blender bottle cups, fill it mostly with ice, add a couple dashes of Scrappy's orange bitters, and then add the can of NOS. The bitters really do a lovely job of rounding out the flavors of it, along with the dilution you get from the ice. So, I wonder what kind of "full" cocktail work you would be able to come up with for it.
    Also, funnily enough, my current favorite coffee is from Chiapas, too! It's from one of the local roasters up here in the Seattle area, one called Tony's. It's a medium roast, and when I saw tasting notes of almond and chocolate on it, with a creamy mouth feel, I was sold.
    Also, my chocolate bitters of choice are Scrappy's - as ones that are easy to get hold of here. I've tried some others, but they were too... floral. Really bothered me. Scrappy's has a lot of good cacao notes to it. Great even on a coca cola... but I may have to try them on ice cream... also will have to look into the Angoustora chocolate bitters...
