It was late at night and I was trying to decide if I should make Tea or Coffee as my caffeine fix. It was a long night of coding, and lot of fuzzy logic was involved. The first thing that popped in to my mind was something in between.

Then I wondered why I had never seen Tea and Coffee mixes anywhere. Does it taste bad? Would the two just cancel each other out? To my surprise it actually tastes really good! I would say if tea was given a score of 10, and coffee a score of 10, the the tea-coffee mixed would get a score of 15. To improve upon this mix, the next morning I decided to add a hint of Raspberry syrup, and the score goes up to 20. So give it a try, the tea-coffee mix. Might seem counter intuitive to mix the two, but they taste awesome!

Now on to trying different combinations of other beverage mixes!

Update: I did find a extreme version of the coffee-tea mix, credits to goon “The Codfather”

I call it my ‘double black magic early morning rocket fuel’. 8 cups of water run through a coffee filter packed with coffeee, then I run it through again, then empty two tea bags (rip open the top and dump the tea in) of mint tea into the nalgene, add 10 tbs of sugar, and the coffee. Shake well, let tea settle, and drink. I usually end up eating the tea at the end. Tastes like minty coffee, but with a serious kick for those cold early mornings on the water.
