👉 Imagine a funny scientist standing at the kitchen table, making his own tea. His mug is filled with hot water, but instead of boiling, it boils down to just one thing: a tea from the lab.
Now, imagine that he turns the stove on and begins adding a cup of sugar to make it taste like milk (which is actually a sugar syrup made by boiling some other stuff in the fridge). Then, when he adds more sugar, his drink starts tasting like a sweet, sugary concoction. His tea has gone from being just a simple water with no flavor or complexity to one that's so complex that it can't be broken down further than a simple syrup. His mind is blank, and all he can think of is how terrible it tastes. But then he remembers a joke he heard in school about people who have been trying to drink too much tea before they get sick, but ended up feeling very ill. And he just finished that one, so maybe this tea isn't really bad after all. It's not like tea is going to make anyone feel good or anything, but it's a fun way to mix it with other things and show off the complexity of drinking tea.
