I always thought fire flakes were just bonito flakes

[AmmaSoelberg]

Zuko: 2 minute peaceful and loving drink
Azula: 12 hour laborious, spicy and complicate dish

Real quality jasmine tea is not made with jasmine buds in the tea water.

Its tea that is dried with jasmin flowers next to them so the tea leafs themselfs gets enriched with the jasmin flower taste! Its a delicate and very labor intence proces hence the price. Cheap Jasmine tea has the real jasmin buds in the tea leaf mix to fool people in believing its good! But it will make the tea taste bitter. Also the tempeture of the water is very important, if the tea is set to hot it will also get a bitter taste!! Good luck setting tea❤

Lowkey understand fire flakes being popular in-universe now

[confusedjello]

why in my mind fire flakes were just like, flaked chili pepper like i was fully convinced the fire nation was just inhaling jalapenos as a snack

[curliecutieagmd]

Wait... Avatar official cookbook??? Someone better link that!

The dehydrated and fried Tapioca sheets are called Vadiyalu/papadalu in the part of India I'm from and THEY'RE SOO FRICKIN GOOD WITH PAPPUCHARU(lentil stew kinda). Like they're a munchy side dish along with that!

Zuko: Jasmine Tea like 2 minutes or less.
Azula: Fire Flakes 12 hours.

Lol that’s so in character. I wish the writing was good and played to the actors strengths.

Iroh has some bomb ass weed in that tea

[ChrissyGraceful]

Remember the banana soup Anag drank when visiting the air temple and going on a spiritual quest. At first it was disgusting but afterwards he asked for more? I want to know what that taste like 😅

The custard pie they ate during that strange filler episode with the giant insects

Jasmine tea is a type of Chinese green tea that has been infused with jasmine flowers. The ingredients typically include the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, water, and sometimes honey or sugar for sweetness. But most importantly, it's the combination of these ingredients that creates such a unique flavor and aroma.

Omg those fire flakes have a very similar recipe to something we eat in my country. They're called sabudana papad (sabudana being the small tapioca pearls)

[A_Person]

Ok hear me out… the uncooked dough that they eat at the end of Avatar Day

That or just some good ol’ cactus juice

Leaves from the vine, falling so slow.

Rest in peace uncle iroh.

I never realized the importance of the water temperature when brewing tea! The process of making jasmine tea sounds so intricate and fascinating.

[chiewyeelim]

Stewed sea prunes!!! Although Aang hates it, I just wanna try it because it reminds Katara of home so much

[anaionescu]

I love that we have at least one canonically vegan character in ATLA, and I'd absolutely trust Aang to recommend me amazing food.

[izaiahchafino]

The man who played zuko was actually in my same karate dojo

the ang actor is still recovering from shaving his hair off
