    I never actually thought about how tea was discovered, and my new headcanon is that some weird person was just drinking hot water, some leaves fell in their cup, and they were too lazy to just get some clean water

      As a wise man once said

      You can eat anything if it is fried

      I just assumed someone desperate figured if they could boil this stuff it might be food.

      I want to know who the hell invented nettle tea. Like, let’s try putting the stinging leaves in water and ingesting them.
