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.

I saw a bottled thing that was marginally similar (coffee-replacement with coconut and seaweed and god knows what else) at the co-op in brattleboro yesterday. If I had known it was sonya-bait I would have picked one up for you, but my reaction to it was *wrinkled nose* I'll just take my coffee pleaseandthankyou.

Now I want to try it. I'll have to track the cafe down.

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.)

You could buy a bottle of blue-green algae powder and experiment? You'd get yourself on some dodgy woo woo mailing lists, but the whole bottle would cost you less than five Blue Lattes, and the other ingredients aren't ruinously expensive.

Oh dear. It's called a Smurf Latte. The ingredients, officially, are "E3 live blue algae powder ... lemon, ginger, agave, and coconut milk." Pretty, though.

...I'd try that. I've never eaten laver bread, either; at least that one's easy to track down.
