Brewing

It is possible to brew your own coffee or tea from foraged tea leaves or coffee beans, even adding your own flavoring. This is a legacy system, and is expected to one day become part of the new Cooking discipline under Alchemy.

Materials

• Tea leaf or coffee bean.
• Wayerd pyramid
• Mortar and pestle
• Water
• Large jar
• Portable stove
• Peat
• Flint
• Mixing stick

Procedure

The procedure for brewing is a simplification of the process described at [Oramiwe's Art of Tea].

1. FORAGE TEA LEAF or COFFEE BEAN and any flavoring ingredients (e.g. blueberries)
2. Dry tea leaves or coffee beans in a Wayerd pyramid
3. CRUSH LEAF/dried coffee IN MORTAR WITH PESTLE
4. COMBINE LEAF/COFFEE to combine the crushed dry tea leaf or ground coffee into larger volumes.
5. Put equal parts water and leaf/ground coffee in jar
   1. Optional: Crush flavoring to juice or pulp
   2. Optional: Add flavor to jar with the tea.
6. DROP STOVE
7. FORAGE PEAT
8. PUT PEAT IN STOVE
9. LIGHT PEAT IN STOVE WITH FLINT
10. Forage another peat and PUT MY PEAT ON PEAT IN STOVE. This will create a fire.
    1. Tip: You can also use PUT MY PEAT IN STOVE
    • Continue to add peat by PUT PEAT IN STOVE until you have a good fire going, then CLOSE STOVE
11. PUT JAR ON STOVE
12. After you see steam rising from the jar, STIR JAR ON STOVE WITH MY STICK
    • Repeat stirring until you have tea or coffee.

Brewing Notes

• Each time the jar lets off steam, one part of water is consumed. It's suggested to add two more parts water than tea to account for this (so 3 parts added for each 1 part called for in the recipe), and wait for them to steam off before mixing. You can COUNT WATER IN JAR ON STOVE (as well as the tea leaf) to see how many parts are left.
• On some of the flavoring fruits, when you forage them and crush you will end up with only pulp because they have less than 4 parts (COUNT to check the parts available). Forage up multiple items and COMBINE them prior to crushing to end up with juice if you'd prefer to work with that.
• When using flavoring, substitute flavoring for water (e.g. blueberry juice for blueberry tea or strawberry pulp for strawberry tea).
• When using flavoring, do not expect steam; simply stir your jar/kettle after about a minute on the stove, and it will become tea. Additionally, since there is no steam-off, there is no need to add extra water. A one-to-one ration of tea to pulp/juice still creates tea.
• Use peat for fuel because foraged sticks/branches/logs do not fit in the portable stove since the Shaping and Lumberjacking updates.
• Any "stick" will work for stirring. This includes foraged sticks or even your parry stick if you want to save on inventory.

• Similar legacy alchemy tools, such as a glass rod, will also work.

• Failed mixes, left them on for about triple the time the successful batches needed to mix, tried multiple times to stir, but never wanted to mix:

• Turnip coffee: 1 coffee/1 crushed turnip. Also tried adding water (which steamed off) and juice (too many items).
• Seaweed coffee: 1 coffee/1 crushed seaweed. Also tried adding water (which steamed off).
• Scallion coffee: 1 coffee/1 crushed scallion.
• Chamomile coffee: 1 coffee/1 chamomile. Ultimately would have failed since you can't crush the chamomile. Tried with the 1/1 mix and with adding water (too many items).
• Lavender coffee: 1 coffee/1 lavender. Ultimately would have failed since you can't crush the lavender. Tried with the 1/1 mix and with adding water (too many items).
• Briarberry root coffee: 1 coffee/1 lavender. Ultimately would have failed since you can't crush the root.
• Berry coffee: 1 coffee/1 pulped berries. Interesting result with the failure, the berries turned into some powdered berries.
• Dustanjis coffee: 1 coffee/1 dustanjis pulp.
• Toadstool coffee: 1 coffee/1 crushed pale toadstool.
• Green moss coffee: 1 coffee/1 pulped green moss.
• Moss coffee: 1 coffee/1 pulped moss.
• Pig (oil) coffee: 1 coffee/1 pig root oil.
• Pig (pulp) coffee: 1 coffee/1 pig root pulp.
• Draconaeia (oil) coffee: 1 coffee/1 draconaeia oil. Total fail, didn't recognize the oil in the jar (likely because of legacy system to make dracon crystals?)
• Draconaeia (pulp) coffee: 1 coffee/1 draconaeia pulp.
• Valerian (pulp) coffee: 1 coffee/1 crushed valerian.
• Valerian (oil) coffee: 1 coffee/1 valerian oil.
• Jasmine (oil) coffee: 1 coffee/1 jasmine oil.
• Jasmine (pulp) coffee: 1 coffee/1 jasmine pulp.
