lava tea and cooking oil

[asakiyume]

I have two new food treasures: One, from mnfaure (thank you my dear!), is Thé des songes, tea of dreams, which is fragrant and ethereal like dreams, but the look of it--black, with bursts of red and gold--is like the surface of a lava lake, so I think of it as lava tea.



And the other, red as blood, red as hot lava, is this bottle of palm oil!



And with this bottle of palm oil, I'm going to make *even more* of Flo Madubike's recipes. I'm going to start with this one, for fried beans.

That tea looks almost too beautiful to brew!

Yummy!

Have you tried the tea yet? I'm curious as to the flavor.

Poem, or story, please.

I wish I could try the tea. It looks like something a dragon would drink.

I may be being amnesiac. Have you made acarajes?

Oooh, magical foods!

I think I have had tea like that. The kind I had contained yerba matte and rooibos, which seems a little... odd, but it was pretty and chocolatey (or chickory-y).

Tea of dreams! What a lovely name for a tea.

I'd need to be well aware of the source of a palm oil before I'd buy it. I avoid any processed food which lists it as an ingredient.

That tea does look enticing... And I love the way the characters for "Oolong" can be read as "black dragon". I'd never actually noticed that before.

Sounds divine. They both do actually.
