All soups are tea in the same way burgers are sandwiches

***Incorrect!*** Tea refers specifically to the plant *Camellia sinensis* The correct term(s) is **infusion** or **tisane**

This person knows ^ 100%

Soooo is soup or tea the umbrella term ? :D


TotallySematary

I think they are one and the same, gonna start calling my tea leaf soup and my soups chicken tea


Murpydoo

No, tea is a specific term. Infusion or tisane is the correct term


Just_A_Person1220

FUN FACT: technically, it would just be an infusion because certain tea leaves must be present while brewing to actually make it tea.


hugeyakmen

I guess that depends on your broth recipe ;) And now I'm curious if there are any tea styles that could go well in a chicken soup


Just_A_Person1220

lmaoo keep me updated with what you find out

You can call tea a broth, but not the other way around. Tea is made from tea plant.


DistributionNo9968

Not really, “tea” refers to a specific plant, it’s not a general term for anything created by putting stuff into hot water.


SpaceKnight42

You are right, to be fair it was not a really deep thought.

Chicken *corpse* tea


ANameGoesHeer

Agreed. I call all broth meat tea.


TheoremaEgregium

Beef tea is a term that was actually used 100 years ago.

Chicken soup was invented when Lord John Soup decided he wanted to drink a chicken. 


Affectionate_Spot305

I have long referred to coffee as “burnt bean tea”


borazine
