except... with "pure" tea you don't consume the original ingredient. (eating tea leaves or coffee grounds? eeww.)
pho, etc you do. ergo, not tea.
10 0 ReplyPho is just animal oil/juice suspended. Everything else is like milk, honey, lemon, sugar, etc. that people do consume in tea.
6 0 Replywhat about the rice noodles, chicken, mushrooms, etc etc.? come on.
3 0 ReplyAs the other person mentioned, the base of pho is the stock which includes steeped plants. So it's tea with some other things thrown in it.

What about stock? Take some bones, spices, and vegetables; boil them in water; and strain out all the solids. You're left with nothing but a flavored liquid.

4 0 Replysure, stock is tea. the base of pho is tea, but pho isn't pho until you at least put some noodles in it. Until then, it's just ingredients for pho.
