The sweetest strawberries shall grow in the sea

Courtesy of nineweaving: I don't understand its purpose as a coffee substitute, but a seaweed-flavored coconut-milk drink with ginger and lemon sounds otherwise very nearly designed for me. I don't expect to find out any time soon, since at the moment it is fiendishly trendy, equally expensive, and available only in Australia, but maybe it will go global-viral and I'll get the chance. I don't really care about antioxidants, but I do like kelp.

Hm, I would try one were it available nearby. (Can't drink coffee, anyway; tea is okay, though I tend to forget to drink it because water does just fine.)

Over on LJ I've had it pointed out to me that I could almost certainly replicate the drink at home if I can live with buying an incredibly holistic bottle of blue-green algae powder. I might still want to try a storebought version to get a benchmark. (And to avoid having to buy an incredibly holistic bottle of blue-green algae powder.)

*nods* For my part I am happy eating seaweed in various forms, but I actually like the crunchy or slimy texture, depending. Not sure about a holistic bottle of algae powder per se!

Agreed. I would not prefer to sprinkle algae powder à la parmesan on my pasta rather than just eat kelp noodles in the first place. But I do like the taste of seaweed, so I really want to know what the drink is like!
