Can you explain the difference between black pepper, white pepper, and green peppercorns?

Certainly! Black pepper, white pepper, and green peppercorns all come from the same plant, Piper nigrum, but they undergo different processing methods, resulting in variations in flavor, color, and aroma. Here's an explanation of the differences:

Black Pepper:Processing: Black pepper is made by harvesting the unripe green berries of the pepper plant. These berries are then fermented and dried, which causes them to darken and develop a characteristic wrinkled appearance. Flavor: Black pepper has a strong, pungent flavor with a complex aroma. It is often described as warm and earthy with a biting heat. The outer layer of black pepper contains compounds that contribute to its spiciness.

White Pepper:Processing: White pepper is derived from fully ripe pepper berries. The berries are soaked to remove the outer layer, leaving only the inner seed. Afterward, the seeds are dried. Flavor: White pepper is milder than black pepper, with a less complex flavor. It has a sharp and slightly fermented taste. The removal of the outer layer also results in a lighter color, making white pepper more suitable for dishes where you want to maintain a light appearance.

Green Peppercorns:Processing: Green peppercorns are made from unripe, green berries. They are typically preserved in brine, freeze-dried, or air-dried to retain their green color and fresh flavor. Flavor: Green peppercorns have a fresher and milder taste compared to black pepper. They are less pungent and have a hint of fruitiness. The preservation method can influence the final flavor; for example, brined green peppercorns will have a slightly tangy taste.

Each type of pepper has its unique characteristics, and the choice of which to use depends on personal preference and the culinary application. Black pepper is the most commonly used, while white pepper is often preferred in dishes where the appearance of black specks is undesirable. Green peppercorns are commonly used in sauces, salads, and dishes where a milder pepper flavor is desired.

medieval peasant who has arrived back home after visiting the 21st century: no seriously, you could buy a jar of black peppercorns for the same price as a few loaves of bread. You could get a sack of sugar for even cheaper.

His sister: Bertram, did you wander into a fairy circle again

medieval peasant who has arrived back home after visiting the 21st century: speaking of bread, it cost less to buy a soft white loaf than it did to buy a coarse brown loaf. Brown bread was like a status symbol for them.

His sister: Bertram that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

medieval peasant who has arrived back home after visiting the 21st century: THEY WIPE THEIR ASSES WITH PAPER! WITH PAPER!

TINDER DATE BAILED FOR REPTILE EXPO SO IM HERE WITH @misterjablez

I JUST DROPPED 250 ON A NEW ENCLOSURE FOR PEPPERCORN, HAVE A LOOK AT THESE OTHER BABIES (that I am not allowed to buy today I HAVE restraint!!!)

IF YOURE ALSO HERE TODAY SAY HI

[rainbowbarnacle]

Please make a tea post so I can save it especially the pineapple ice cubes I need more info

Oh, like, different teas I like to make? Okay! :D

🍍Pineapple Tea🍍

The way I do it is really simple:

Buy a giant jug of already-made tea (I like gold peak!)

Buy a carton of pineapple juice

Freeze the juice into cubes, pour a little of it in the tea for extra flavor

And that's it. That's aaaall you gotta do.

There's all kindsa ways you can dress it up, but nine times out of ten I just do this and drink it by the gallon when it's hot out.

If you wanna get fancy with it, feel free to cold brew your own black (or green) tea, add actual hunks of pineapple fruit in there, add some orange juice, add some honey, add some coconut milk or sweetened condensed milk, whatever sounds good! (Also, pairing pineapple tea with coconut cookies? SO GOOD.) Put mint in the pineapple cubes if you like mint! Add a bit of boiled ginger root or some brown sugar and cinnamon for a little kick! Heck, last summer I used blue peaflower star-shaped ice cubes just because they were pretty.

(Peaflower petals don't taste like much, but they make a GORGEOUS blue, and if you put something acidic in there like lemon juice IT TURNS PINK. :D)

🍓Strawberry Tea🍓

I find this stuff sort of difficult to find where I live, so often I go the same route as the pineapple tea: grab a jug of black tea, grab a jug of strawberry juice, (ocean spray has a really nice cran-strawberry one I like) freeze the juice, mix, and enjoy. Super simple.

If I can't find strawberry juice, I dice some strawberries up and put it in a jar with some water and a bit of sugar for a few hours, then add *that* to the tea. (heck, it's really nice all by itself!)

What goes with strawberry? ANY DANG THING YOU WANT. I am particularly fond of lychee. Jasmine tea and rose petals pair really well with it too. Again, if you like mint, it's *really* nice with strawberry. And you know how if you put black pepper on strawberries they taste even strawberrier? (If you haven't tried this, go do it, it's magic.) Same goes with the tea, add some peppercorns or a teeny bit of chili powder or some ginger.

If you wanna drink it hot or cold brew a batch of your own, here are some brands that are also nice:

1. Strawberry Sensation

2. Adagio Strawberry Tea (this is also where I got the peaflower petals)

3. Any of Lupicia's Strawberry Teas they are HEAVENLY

🍏Apple Tea🍏

As with the pineapple and strawberry teas, it's totally fine to just go find some ready-made tea and mix it with some apple cider or apple juice for tasty low spoons fun. If you drink it iced, a bit of sugar and lemon juice brings out the apple flavor nicely!

I prefer drinking this stuff hot though. You know that Fall Drink post that was floating around? IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, TRY IT, IT'S AWESOME.

☕Chai Tea☕

So here's the thing about chai for me personally: I don't tend to drink it iced or sugary, but if you do like it iced and sugary, there are a couple of really nice chai tea concentrates:

Oregon Chai Latte

Tazo's Chai Latte (Forget the "skinny" nonsense, I just wanted to include an option with no milk so you can add whatever you want to it)

Pacific Chai isn't concentrated, but you can use it to make hot or iced chai and it's really lovely, not too sweet and super easy to work with. As for dressing up chai, I don't tend to! There's already so much going on with all the flavors, I just drink it as-is most days. Play with milk-to-tea ratios or sugar amounts all you like, figure out what's your jam.

I do know that mixing chai and coffee together (or chai and chocolate together) is guaranteed to make a feeling groovy kind of morning, at least if you have two thumbs and you're me. Iiii think that's all the tea blather I can think of for right now. Thank you for asking, anon, it was fun! Anybody reading this, feel free to add your own favorite things to do with tea. :D

Supernatural Taste and Smell Headcanons

I included a lot of characters (I think 24?), but if your fave didn't make the cut, just send me an ask!

Dean

Smell: Leather, cinnamon, and the kind of musk that only comes from an axe body spray, cause you know what man only buys whatever is quick and easy at the gas station. He’d also smell like gasoline.

Taste: Malty like beer, but sweet in the way bbq sauce is sweet.

Sam

Smell: I just feel like (when he’d not hunting) he smells clean, ya know? Citrusy and woody, kind of like D&G light blue, with undertones of like a ‘fresh’ scented fabric softener.

Taste: Kind of fruity but tart, like a berry smoothie.  Also just a little bit of like garlic, or mustard.

John

Smell: That man is a smoker, and you can’t tell me otherwise – at least later in life, way after the marines, and losing Mary. He always has a stale smoke smell on his clothes and lips. I recon he uses old spice or similar as an aftershave, so also like cloves/sage.

Taste: Again smoky, ashy, but also oaky and malty like bourbon.

Mary

Smell: Citrusy like Sam but darker, smokier (joke not intended) with hints of like jasmine, bergamot, and a little bit of vanilla. 100% the kind of smell that wraps you up if you come in for a hug.  

Taste: Chocolate, specifically the kinds with nuts and caramel, woman has a sweet tooth.

Castiel

Smell: I feel like all angels smell at least a little like parma violets, or some kind of sweet and subtle floral smell, be especially Cas. On top of that, he’d have like other earthy scentes, like honey,  patchouli, maybe a bit of amber.

Taste: Coffee, always coffee. When human/when he eats; grape jelly, and honey.

Jack

Smell: Like Cas he has the sort of clean, floral scent to him. I also think he would smell of peppermint and like a yankee candle version of warm vanilla. He just has a cosy, familiar smell to him.

Taste: Again I think minty, additionally like white chocolate and rose/flora flavours.

Bobby

Smell: Like old books, burnt candle wicks, motor oils, and nose hair singing whisky.

Taste: More than anyone else on this list (including Crowley) Bobby tastes like whisky. Not the good stiff though, that’s only for special occasions. He taste like Jim Beam and Jack Daniels.

Crowley

Smell: Like a bonfire!!! Smokey, warm, woody, with a hint of burnt sugar.

Taste: 100% Whisky, and dark chocolate.

Charlie

Smell: Charlie smells like she just stepped out of a fantasy book, like wildflowers, and peppercorn. Like strawberry and blackcurrant wine.

Taste: Like a vegan alternative to Nutella, creamy, chocolatey, nutty.

Meg

Smell: Surprisingly soft and clean. Milky, with almond and peach. Just a hint of leather and cedarwood underneath.

Taste: Salty and sweet, anise: like a strawberry liquorice.

Ruby

Smell: Like cedarwood, ginger, and pink pepper. Pleasant but sharp, and strong. Like it pulls you in from across the room.

Taste: Bold and sweet like cabernet sauvignon, starkly contrasted by pepperoni and cheesy pasta.

Lucifer

Smell: Similar to Jack, in that he smells clean and minty. However, his is sharper, harsher. There is lime, and moss, and mahogany.

Taste: Like pure Moroccan mint, with that like sweet sourness you get on things like a tangfastics or a sourpatch kid. Like if you’re not expecting it, or you taste it for to long it will make you squirm.

Gabriel

Smell: Like walking into the kitchen of a bakery just before opening and they’re prepping everything. Mocha, malted sugar, rich caramel, creamy vanilla.  

Taste: All of the above again! Just so sweet and creamy. Like a spoonful of sugar.

Raphael

Smell: Very similar to Cas, floral, but less earthy, and more sterile. Like aloe vera and antiseptic.

Taste: Again, very clean. He has a flavour the way cucumber has flavour? Refreshing, clean, but not notable.

Michael/Adam 😍

Smell: Kind of like the ocean, meets the forrest. Musk, white lilies, salt, collided with pine, sandalwood, and cedar. Cold, but familiar, ya know?

Taste: Hear me out: Fruit loops, and Dr Pepper. Like Michael has little say over what they eat, that’s all on Adam. And after the initial, ‘I haven’t eaten in 1200 years, I’m gonna eat everything I craved’ has worn off. He’s just like, a normal guy (who does not need to eat because he shares his body with an immortal angel). So, I can see him mostly reaching for snacks that make him feel good, that remind him of his mum, or his childhood, something comforting; like sugary cereals and fizzy drinks. I love them, I will take no criticism.

Rowena

Smell: Like an apothecary. Rich and indulgent. Very aromatic with lots of deep woody tones, sweet cherry, dark rose and other florally scents.

Taste: Like a bottle of mataro, or Nebbiolo wine. Spice, cherry, plum, smoke. She both smells and tastes intoxicatingly expensive.   

Chuck

Smell: Kind of musky, cottony, leafy. I don’t really imagine him smelling too strongly of anything.

Taste: Summary and tart, like a sea breeze cocktail. (Grapefruit, cranberry, lime – an acquired taste)  

Amara

Smell: Similar to Chuck, I sort of envision an absence of smell. Maybe just hints of amber, sandalwood, and a musky citrusy scent.

Taste: Like a white dessert whine, like Riesling. Dry but sweet. Honey, and pears.

Billie

Smell: Bergamot, rose, silk, and cocoa. Inviting and pleasant, but with an undertone of darkness.

Taste: Very similar to scent, sweet and warm but with an aftertaste of something bitter; blackcurrant and dark chocolate

Benny

Smell: Robust (Copper, ginger, tobacco,) but enticing (amber, cardamom, cinnamon).

Taste: I mean, I have tried really had to not add blood to any of the previous entries, but Benny undeniably tastes like blood.

Kevin

Smell: Not good. Pre-prophethood, not so much; I imagine like mint, green tea, jasmine, the kind of smell you would expects from a reasonably priced aftershave. During prophethood, the aftershave is long forgotten; its more fried chicken, old paper, and forgetting to shower for 9 days.

Taste: Like redbull, chexmix, and mouthwash.

Eileen

Smell: Like peaches, and roses, rich chocolate, and strong coffee.

Taste: Chocolate and coffee again, but hints of sparkly summer fruits.

Ketch

Smell: Like high end British aftershaves only the royal family know off, something with notes of fig, and oud, and other pretentious smells. The small of cigar smoke, and leather follow him around too.

Taste: Like earl grey tea, and dry gin.

Balthazar

Smell: Kind of like ketch, some high end and expensive (if he actually had to pay for it). But woodsier, and fresh. He would also have that hidden undertone of violet.

Taste: Creamy and hazelnutty, but there’s a constant aftertastes alcohol, and something metallic to him, no  matter what comes first.

Fuck it. I’m gonna teach every one of you how to make a kickass bone broth, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Buckle up losers it’s time to cook.

Step One: do you cook at home? Save the scraps. Even if you don’t cook, you’d be surprised by what counts. The ends of carrots. Onion skins. Garlic peels. The gross parts of celery. Animal bones (chicken wings and thighs, usually). Every time you cook, you’re going to put the scraps into a gallon freezer bag.

Step One B: if you don’t cook, you can buy all of these things. I’d recommend half a stalk of celery, some carrots, and two yellow onions to start with. Don’t bother making it look pretty, include all the skins and gross bits. We’re making stock, not soup.

Step Two: when the bag is full, buy a rotisserie chicken. This part may be superfluous if you’ve saved up enough bones, but bones are your flavor so it never hurts to have more if you’re unsure.

Step Three: peel the chicken. Separate the meat from the bones and set it aside. You can do whatever you want with this meat, but I recommend saving it for the soup you’re gonna make with this kickass stock.

Step Four: add the contents of the scrap bag to the largest pot you own. Add the bones. Add water until everything is just covered or until the pot is completely full. If you want to add whole spices like peppercorns and bay leaves, nows a good time, but it’s not required.

Step Five: put that shit on the stove on low heat. Leave it there until around half the water has evaporated. This will probably take a couple of hours, at least three or four. No need to stir.

Step Six: using a collider (pasta strainer), separate the solids from the liquids. That’s it. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful and nutrient-dense stock, idiot.

Obviously you can use that stock to make soup, but you could also use it to cook vegetables, pasta, or rice. Or you could drink it plain. You could freeze it in an ice cube tray and use it as dog treats.

If you choose to save it in the fridge, you’ll probably notice that it doesn’t stay as a liquid, instead having the texture and consistency of a soft jello or pudding. Don’t panic! It’s just the collagen from the bones aka gelatin. This means you did everything right and let it sit on the stove long enough. Your bone broth is filled with lots of nutrients!

[soie-lux]

drop the bone broth recipe please

Lately I've been so busy that I haven't had time to make any, so I've been buying Bonafide Provisions' Organic Beef Bone Broth (low sodium). I simply heat up 1 cup on the stove, add the juice of half a lemon, and that's it!

Making bone broth is pretty simple as well. Place grass-fed beef bones or free-range chicken bones in a large pot. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, star anise, whole peppercorns, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. No need for measurements; just pour filtered water (until everything is fully submerged) and let it simmer for a minimum of 18 hours. Finally, strain the broth.

मीट मसाला / Meat masala (Nepali spice blend)

Nepali मीट मसाला or मिट मसाला ("mīṭ masālā" or "miṭ masālā," from "meat masala")—also called मटन मसाला ("maṭana masālā," "mutton spice blend")—is used to season various kinds of meat, but is especially common in marinades and sauces for lamb, as in खसीको मासु ("khasīko māsu," "lamb curry"). In Nepal, meat is usually eaten for parties or celebrations, on feast days—such as दसैँ (Dashain) and ईद अल-अधा (Eid al-Adha)—and on weekends.

Meat masala is sold as a commercial product to make home cooks' preparation of meat quicker and easier. In some recipes, the spice blend is not listed as a separate ingredient, but is hidden within the list and prepared fresh with each dish: depending on the cook, some of the spices will be left whole and fried in the cooking oil, and others will be toasted, ground, and added later.

Making your own meat masala gives you more control over the ingredients than buying commercially, and ensures a fresher product. Keep some in your pantry to add to meat preparations including curries, dumplings, and chatamari, and to use in marinades, sauces, and braises; or make a batch ahead of a festival and use it as the seasoning base for dishes you prepare over the course of the holidays.

Ingredients

Spices for grinding

4 dried (3g) red chilis, or to taste (रातो खुर्सानी / rato khursani)

2 Tbsp (16.5g) cumin seeds (जीरा / jeera)

2 Tbsp (8.5g) coriander seeds (धनिया / dhaniya)

1 Tbsp (7g) green cardamom pods (सुकमेल / sukmel)

1 Tbsp (5g) black cardamom pods (अलैंची / elaichi)

1 Tbsp (8.5g) black peppercorns (मरिच / marich)

3-inch chunk (6.5g) Chinese cassia bark (दालचीनी क्यासिया / dalchini kyasiya)

1 tsp (2.5g) whole cloves (ल्वाङ / lwang)

1/2 head (2.5g) nutmeg (जायफल / jaiphal)

1 tsp (4.5g) fenugreek seeds (मेथी / methi)

1 tsp (2.5g) fennel seeds (सौंफ / saumph)

1 pod (1g) star anise (स्टार ऐनीज़)

1/2 tsp (1.5g) ground turmeric (बेसार / besar)

1/2 head (.3g) mace (जावित्री / javitri) (optional)

Look for cassia (cinnamon) bark that is rough and wood-like in appearance and does not curl naturally into quills: it may be labelled "cassia bark," "cinnamon stick flat," "desi cinnamon," or "dalchini flat" at a South Asian or halal grocery store.

Black cardamom pods may be labelled "kali elaichi" or "moti elaichi."

Spices for frying

2 medium (.7g total) tej patta (Nepal bay leaves) (तेजपात)

1 tsp (2g) ground ginger (अदुवा / adhuwa)

You may choose to leave out the spices for frying if you will be making a curry (and can fry them along with the rest of the aromatics). Include them for a preparation where the meat will not be fried in oil (e.g. momos, chatamari).

Instructions

1. Lightly crush nutmeg in a mortar and pestle to break in half. Crush cinnamon to break into a few pieces.

2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, roast chilis, black and green cardamom pods, and cinnamon until fragrant, stirring often. Set aside to cool.

3. Roast black peppercorns, cloves, and star anise for a couple minutes until fragrant. Set aside.

4. Roast smaller seeds (cumin, coriander, fenugreek, fennel), mace, and tej patta for a minute until fragrant. Set aside.

5. Remove skillet from heat. Toast turmeric and ginger for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

6. Grind all spices together in a mortar and pestle or spice mill. Pass through a fine mesh sieve. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.

I had the opportunity to try Gillian's g-spot drinks while I was in England and so I did.

I promised myself that I would go into it unbiased and judge it fairly. Disclaimer: We all like different things! Me reviewing the flavors is just how I see (read: taste) them. My control group was my friend who tried each flavor as well.

Read my thoughts under the cut!

All three beverages are based on sparkling water and apple juice. Each has a different blend of herbal extracts. Now, I'm no expert, but for the most part, those other ingredients are used in very small doses. So really, in order for the nootropics and adaptogens to have any effect, you would have to drink more than one or two cans per day - and over a longer period as well.

The brand says that they "lie somewhere between a purist health drink that claims to change your life, and a mainstream soda brand that wants you hooked." That is one hell of a claim. Personally, I'm not sure how mainstream a beverage that costs £3,50 per can (0,33 l) can be.

The first one I tried was "Soothe". It's supposed to "calm your mind", according to the can, and has magnesium, maca, reishi, and ashwagandha as its ingredients. I had no idea what to expect and I can say in all honesty, I did not like the taste at all. My friend said it tastes like drinking medicine. To me, it tastes like sparkling cough syrup. It's because of the sage but also the slightly woody and bitter taste of the reishi.

Now let's move on to my taste test:

My next one was "Protect". That one uses ginger, turmeric, chaga and peppercorn, which I must admit sounded interesting to me. Well. What can I say? It tasted way better than "Soothe", but you must absolutely like the taste of ginger. My friend doesn't and said this one tastes even more like medicine.

The aftertaste was the worst. It would just not go away. I don't know if sage as a cure for anything related to colds and coughs is a German thing and that's we reacted so strongly to it. Anyway, I liked this one so little that I didn't dare to try the next one for another two days.

I saved the best for last: "Lift". From the few things I've read online, most people seemed to prefer this one. The ingredients here include bacopa, theanine, cordyceps, and lion's mane in addition to berries and peppercorn. I really liked this one because it's actually refreshing.

The aftertaste is not as insistent and quite nice with the gentle spiciness of the peppercorn and the turmeric. As I kept drinking it, I understood what my friend meant by saying it tastes like medicine though. Drinking the whole can was a struggle because the ingredients just get too much at some point.

Like "Protect", it's a bit spicy, but it works way better here with the berries. Though I must admit that I couldn't really taste the berries as well as I would have liked. As much as I liked this one, it's not something I would want to drink daily. Like the other flavors, this one, too, has several ingredients that taste bitter and/or earthy, like bacopa and lion's mane. It's just not my thing. My friend agreed that this was the best one, but she was like, one sip of this is enough.

Conclusion:

Oooof. I speculated with a friend (not the one who did the tasting with me!) what these would taste like and we originally thought it would taste like sparkling apple juice with some flavor. I don't know if it's a thing anywhere else, but Apfelschorle (sparkling apple juice) is a huge deal here and really, really tasty.

I didn't expect the bitterness and earthiness to be so prominent in the taste, to be honest. All in all, I expected more from these drinks- Especially at that price. None of these were so good that I was like, I want more. Maybe they are good for my health - though that's quite a claim - but so is water. And maybe the sparkling, flavored water you can buy at Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's isn't as healthy (but it might be?), but it tastes much better. It's way cheaper, too.

All that aside, I'm still not sure what to think of the whole brand and the idea behind it. One thing, in particular, I'm missing is information about how the ingredients are sourced. Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, Reishi, etc. aren't exactly ingredients you can get everywhere.

Anyway, that's it from me!

[heartofhubris]

for the tea itself, 5/5, super nice tea that's mild but refreshing. As max, it's not perfect, so i think I might change the inclusion to a cinnamon or peppercorns for a little bite. But, it does mesh with his personality after his quest is done.
