“Leaf Broth”. Some friends and I spent a little time over drinks deciding that’s as accurate as we were gonna get. Outside of calling it “Tea”, of course.
Try explaining cigarettes. Bob Newhart did a great job many years ago. Grow and harvest plants with big leaves, dry the leaves, then crush them and roll them up in a small piece of paper. Now, comes the weird part. Set fire to the leaves and breathe in the smoke.
If it were my kid, Eddie would have to add a couple of steps to get it right: brew a pot (extra strong), then place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight. Then drink it black and ice cold the next day.
Oh, just remembered — gotta go brew a pot for tomorrow. Glad this strip reminded me.

I’m reminded of when my daughter calls tea “boiled leaves”. She’s not wrong.

This is nothing, check out how a chocolate bar is made. That’s bizarrely complex. Who figured that one out.

Anything that gets fermented first is the result of someone’s neglect.

More information about coffee than I could process until after I’ve processed coffee through me

If the process by which coffee is made worries you, it would be best not to think about the rest of what’s on your breakfast plate, or any plate.

Yep. Who was the first to throw away the beans and drink the broth?!.

You do NOT want to know about Kopi luwak coffee, Eddie. Trust me.

Once we’re done with this and chocolate, let’s explain how leather is made.
