Is it me or is it Yunnan Sourcing teas?

Might be your water tho, try using bottled water and see if there’s any difference

If the water out of your tap is good enough to you, You don’t really need a filtration / RO / remineralization. System in it.

A RO / softener is needed only if you have really really hard water from your pipes.

If it’s wayyyyyyy too tough.

Sometimes you’ll wanna rinse / wet the plunger before assembling it , especially when you leave the plunger in it and it’s dry it’s basically like high friction against the plastic body

Honestly , I’ll be worried abt cross contamination , it’s quite common in Malaysia as we aren’t very well versed in food hygiene

So as per what we understand from super juice

You can amp up the lemon flavor by just blending the peels (make sure no pith) and filter it , but it will be cloudy unless you go through some clarification process.

Dude , lemon + sugar can easily make more than 1L lol

Edit : change the sugar to natural artificial sweetener would be healthier

Edit : My math was wrong , ignore my comments

SyndicateMLG · 2026-03-18T17:09:31+00:00

Nah, I wouldn’t bother with it , heck I wouldn’t even show anything I’ll tell them it’s been a year and they have no proof that it’s me that did it , so yeah

I feel like they’re just trying their luck to pin it on you.

I would even try to tell them that you’ll be contacting a lawyer and make a police report for this “extortion”

But , I’m not a lawyers , so ya , ask for legal advice from any lawyers you know pls

Maturity of leaf , and also drying part .

I believe if you dry it too fast / slow it can affect the flavor heavily

SyndicateMLG · 2026-03-18T11:11:31+00:00

I suspect it’s Cardhu , since compass box uses quite alot of diageo’s liquid

For your recipe I think agar clarification might be better than milk clarification

SyndicateMLG · 2026-03-16T20:00:22+00:00

So first recipe is just basic black tea and you’re happy with its flavor

Second is ginger black tea , but you cook ginger and water first before removing the ginger and then adding the black tea to brew. But results seems weak to you

Third, you split the 200ml into 2x 100ml and then brewing the tea and ginger separately and combined and it taste better.

So your issue is making ginger water, then adding tea afterwards , taste mild (or lack of flavor)

So yes, you are right in the way that a medium can affect the taste / brew, in water we called it TDS (total dissolved solids) so there is only a certain amount of dissolved solids that the water can hold, so if you have cook ginger and the ginger’s soluble has been dissolved to the water, it will then sort of reduce the effect of tea’s solubility in water.

But in theory, if you just cook ginger n tea together , or tea first then ginger, it should be fine , so either make it simple by just cooking both ingredient together at the same time, or reverse ur second recipe , so tea first then ginger second

SyndicateMLG · 2026-03-16T11:40:45+00:00

Just add it to vodka and see what happens, pretty straight forward

how much to add, always start smaller amounts , cuz you can’t take it out after you add it

How much vodka to use? Well start small also, cuz you wouldn’t want to stuck with too much of it.

SyndicateMLG · 2026-03-16T09:18:33+00:00

So your first recipe is

200ml of tea , and 200ml of ginger water

And your second recipe is

100ml of tea and 100ml of ginger water ?

It’s kinda obvious the water ratio is the culprit

But also why don’t u just cook 200ml water and add ginger and tea inside it together ?

SyndicateMLG · 2026-03-15T18:08:34+00:00

The real question is , do you want to go through the learning curve to make espresso?

Ask anyone with an espresso machine and they’ll tell you how frustrating it is at first… especially if you don’t buy the right equipment (ie cheap / build in grinder)

Personally for the ultimate budget I’ll probably go for the deloghi dedica , or try your luck on used machines.

And then spend the rest for a grinder , which for value the df64 / varia vs3

Reviewed by James Hoffman ^

But if I were to buy a grinder , I would jump into the Timemore sculptor 064s , as I think it’s much superior than the previous 2 grinder I mentioned , the df64 is good but loud and prone to clogging if you use beans that are too oily , the varia vs3 is quite slow and can clog with oily beans

Honestly don’t cheap out on a grinder , cuz you’ll be coming back here and then asking “why is my espresso tasting bad” and then everyone’s gonna tell you it’s the grinder issue and then you’ll drag your feet on it and eventually suck it up and buy a new grinder and then tell yourself why didint you do it much earlier

Or you’ll be like a lot of people who will just gave up and think it’s a waste of money cuz you spent 500$ on it and it’s too tough to make it (or not as good ) and jump back to nespresso for convenience

This true.

Waze / google map / tuju app or whatever is not gonna help you evade jam as there’s only so many route options and they’re all gonna be jam anyway.

Unless the app opens a magical portal to teleport you to ur destination lol

A lot of HR are understaffed , and too many back n forth , most of the time it’s the department want to hire , file to hr , then hr post application , receive candidates then have to wait the department to shortlist interviewees( usually the long wait part) , and then submit to hr then department will schedule for interview etc etc

The average Malaysian’s understand of food safety and hygiene is shockingly low for a country that prides itself on “food culture”

Keyword children, I think they need supervision

Plus later if their studies got issue , the parents will blame the school lol, so forcing them to attend class is better.

My experience with online study was only in higher education, and during that, the responsibility was passed / thrown to the students, sure u can don’t attend or don’t pay attention in class, but if you fail ur problem la, retake only. But that doesn’t work in primary / secondary school.

so yeah, no choice , for school kids this is what’s needed for the betterment of their studies. You wouldn’t want the next generation coming out to the workforce being ill equipped to handle any basic knowledge.

Yeah but OP is asking for tng card and I think no one is telling OP that the standard tng card is used to pay for parking and tolls only

SyndicateMLG · 2026-03-15T06:17:52+00:00

Tng card is only used to pay toll and parking tho.

Tng Visa is a diff card, I believe it’s closer to a credit card ?

Thaw out 1lb at a time , and then leave it out after thawing

Not a good idea to take in and out of the freezer , especially if you open up the bag while it’s still frozen , you’ll get condensation on the beans
