- Tom Scott is coming here in a minute.
- Oh!
- That does clear the nostrils.
I'm angry and upset.
Ah.
- Ugh!
(triumphant orchestra music playing)
(popping sound effect)
- Hey, Tom. - Hello.
- How are you doing?
- I mean, I'm nervous 'cause we've just,
you've said, "Sit down, I've got some teas for you."
- Yes, I have got some teas.
So we're doing a video at the moment,
and ice cream is actually set in our freezer
for a video that's gonna be on Tom's.
So whilst that's going on, I said to Tom,
we're here doing a video in the kitchen,
I went and found some really random teas the other day.
- Okay.
- Do you like tea?
- I'm indifferent to tea.
- Okay.
- It's sort of, I never really get much flavour out of it.
It's just, this is, this is, warm water
that someone's put some leaves in for a bit.
I just..I know that's the definition of tea.
- I just don't get it.
- I'm very much like that with tea.
If it smelled, how it tasted or tasted how it smells.
- Yes.
- The flavour is much more intense in that way.
- So I've found a shop that had some pretty cool teas.
This isn't a sponsored video in any way.
And I thought, "Hey, this is could be tea
because it doesn't generally,
each one, I checked their ingredients, contain tea leaves."
It is a thing, a food item.
So it's not shoes, or.
- Okay, all right.
- And it has,
sometimes it's actually dehydrated ingredients
that you're re hydrating.
- I haven't seen the flavours.
I have, I know nothing, I'm very...
There is an orange box just off camera there,
that has been turned away from me at an angle
so I cannot see even the wording that's on it
or anything like that.
I know nothing of what's gonna happen.
(jaunty music)
So, let's see if I can work out what this is.
- Here, have a smell of that.
- All right.
(sniffs)
Fruit.
- Yes, it is a fruit.
I mean, I'm getting a little bit of that from visual,
'cause it looks like dried,
some sort of dried fruit in there as well.
- Yeah, it does look like some potpourri or something,
it looks like that.
They all look like that, actually.
- Apples?
- Yes.
- Oh!
- Yeah.
- Hey! I've got a skill.
- It's gonna be apparently apple crumble flavoured tea.
- Oh.
- I think we just go for it.
- Yeah.
- Who doesn't like a good apple crumble?
So, I'll boil the kettle,
and then we'll get this submerged and see what happens.
And it's got to be actually brewed for three minutes.
See you then. - See you in three minutes.
- Cool.
- He's not gonna cut on the,
he's not gonna cut.
It's not a great colour, I'll be honest with you.
Yeah, it looks possibly more like a sample.
(both laughing) - It really does.
That is,
that is not flattering.
(pouring tea)
- Would you like just a small amount, like that?
- Yeah, I mean, let's be honest,
if you've got three of these,
we're not getting through all three.
- It's gonna make the drive interesting for you.
- We're both gonna have to slurp it very loudly.
Cheers.
(slurping)
- Oh, that's very weak in my opinion.
- So, that might be because it's still nearly boiling
and I just burnt my tongue on it.
I think we should wait a few seconds or swirl it around,
or actually,
trick I learned from James Hoffman.
- Hang on, hang on. - Oh!
So take a, take a spoonful. - Yeah.
- And you're just gonna (slurps)
as fast as you can.
(both slurping)
- Ooh, we got more intensity of the flavour by doing that.
- Yes, more surface area and less heat.
- Yeah, it's very-
- It's still not a very intense flavour.
- No, no, the smell is amazing, but-
- I think those flavourings are doing much more work
than the apple and the chicory root here.
- Yeah, I think there's like a very sort of stale apple
kind of vibe going on.
Again.
- I'm not massively impressed with that.
- No
- Sorry, sorry to be the downer
on number one here, but that's
- Yeah,
I don't know if it bodes well
for the other two to be honest.
- That's not a great review 'cause you were thinking
this was gonna be the best one, weren't you?
- Oh Yeah, I was hoping it would be.
- That said, that said
I still just absentmindedly picked it up to drink it.
- Yes,
and I would not do that with a cup of tea, a 100%.
And that's for me,
if I can go somewhere and go,
"I'll have an apple crumble tea, please."
And it takes that box, then yeah.
- Yeah, this is sort of thing
that if you chucked some honey in it
or something like that as well
would be sort of a very warming, sweet drink.
- Yeah.
- And again, that's what tea is, isn't it?
It's warming, but just water with some flavour in it, so.
- Okay, well let's try the next one.
- What have you got for me next?
(jaunty music)
- Right, okay, so for starters, that's green.
Right, I'm gonna look away and just show them.
That's very green, okay.
- To me it looks possibly illegal as well. Quite purple.
- It's not exactly.
- Wow, that's strong.
I smelled that immediately of,
mint.
- Nope,
well...
- Toothpaste?
- There is a bit,
oh, there is a real strong waft of mint now.
Well I hate licorice and I was like,
"Oh, I've got to get one that I'm not gonna like."
- Yeah, no, I'm not like this either.
- Do you not like?
- It's not great.
"Minty fresh with a lingering sweet aftertaste."
- Yes.
But, the thing contains licorice.
Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Oh, I feel like we're both gonna regret this.
That was too much,
but I don't think we're gonna use any more of it.
- I'm expecting to hopefully get
a nice sort of green pungent looking brew.
- You're not selling,
green and pungent and brew.
- Oh no.
- Pungent.
- Hmm.
- Oh, some it's neon.
- That is, I don't know how well
that's coming across on camera,
cause there's a limit to the colours
that cameras can produce.
And that is,
almost neon yellow.
- It, yeah.
- Hmm.
- Just looks really confused as a fluid.
(both laughing)
- It's just like, "What am I?"
- I want a cross stitch of that.
It just looks really confused as a fluid.
- Yeah
- Ugh!
- This cleared the nostrils. (laughs)
It's like a menthol.
- That, I wasn't expecting.
- Yeah, phew.
- What does that smell like?
Other than deeply unpleasant.
(both slurp)
- Ah.
- Ugh!
(Barry laughing)
- Yes, that's got something about it.
- It starts with a really, really strong head of licorice.
- Yeah. - Which I'm not a fan of,
and then it hits you with the peppermint,
so strongly.
- Yeah, I'm getting the licorice back now, which I hate.
I'm sort of at first.
- Yeah, so am I.
- Yeah
- That's... that's,
I don't think I've ever tasted anything before,
that's had such a flavour profile that changes over time.
That was licorice,
and then, no, there's the peppermint hitting your tongue
and giving you that kind of, and then it's back to licorice.
- It's staying there as well, it's not just...
I mean, I'm angry and upset.
- The mint
is not bad.
- No, yeah.
- As a mint tea,
like, sure, it tastes like toothpaste, but.
- Yeah, it's flavour, and.
- I Actually, yeah.
- Do you know what I mean?
- I can't disagree with that.
The last one was weak.
- It was, yeah.
- I'm not even certain if we infused that long.
That's powerful.
Why are we doing this again?
- Oh yeah.
Oh, that's a beauty, that is.
- The thing is, you go and still go back for more.
- Yeah, I don't know why,
but it's almost become a hobby.
- The mint in there works.
If you like licorice.
- Yeah.
That's that's a fair.
- Yeah.
That's got some flavour to it. That's got some,
- Yeah.
It felt like we made something,
rather than just hot water that smells nice.
- That was some apples and some
artificial flavouring.
This is actually doing a thing. It's not a thing I like,
- Yeah.
- But it's doing a thing.
- Yeah.
(upbeat music)
All right, the third and final one.
We're gonna have smell. - Yeah.
- This is what got me in the shop,
so I'm praying that this is...
- Okay
- Worthwhile.
(sniffs)
- So that feels like it has got some of the crumble to it.
It's got that same kind of,
(sniffs)
- It could be similar.
Well, actually one of the main ingredients
is actually, apple.
- Okay. Then, that's,
But there's definitely some...
- Its not supposed to be anything to do with apple,
that, how I would normally.
- It's almost like lavender.
It's got orange, papaya, beetroot, hibiscus.
- Beetroot?
- Yeah.
- What, what is it?
- Well, it's actually supposed to be birthday cake.
(sniffs)
Well I smelled that in the shop and I said, oh my gosh,
that smells like Generic Betty Crocker.
- Oh my god! Yes.
This smells like,
that
cheap American white birthday cake.
- Yes.
The standard like,
- The packet mix
- Yeah.
- Oh!
- Ah, ah.
(video boomerangs)
Loose leaf flavoured fruit...
what on earth?
But atleast its not brown.
- Dental water.
There we go.
Apples and dates are the strongest.
- Apples and dates.
- Yeah.
- Are they coming from apples and dates?
- Yeah
Well, someone loaded a lot cheddar cheese in that as well.
- Yeah, there's other flavours like the rose hip in
that must be.
- That joke would make sense when my video comes out
in January.
- Oh yes.
Yes it will.
Yeah, there's some weird stuff in my freezer, right now.
- Yeah.
Good luck.
- I'm hoping.
I just hope that it's got some flavour.
I mean,
because that's such a weak colour
once it's out of the infuser.
- Yeah.
- Is that a different?
- That really does look different now.
- All these are clean.
So let me just in case I've got well, doesn't work.
- Yes.
That's not bad.
- That tastes like weak birthday cake.
- It does, yeah.
- I call it like, a poor man's birthday cake.
- That's,
that's confusing.
- Yeah.
- It's still there.
Now, my mouth tastes like
I've just eaten a slice of birthday cake.
- Yeah.
It actually does.
- That's bizarre.
I cannot suspect like natural and artificial flavour
is doing a lot of the work,
when the birthday cake hitting that.
- Yeah.
Unbelievable. Like that's a wet cake.
Like, let's say diluted down heavily.
- That is like,
someone has taken,
a slump of birthday cake,
and several points of water,
and put them in a blender.
- Yeah.
- And then heated it up,
which does not sound appetising.
Now, I'll put it like that.
- The aromas are not so,
stain and the flavor's in your mouth.
It's like, it prolongs, isn't it?
It's just like, oh yeah.
- Oh, once it's cold a little.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Let, let your,
let your spoon just kind of hang out that a few seconds.
- Okay.
- Maybe blow on it a little.
And,
(spoon clanking)
- Yeah.
- I don't understand that,
that is,
- Oh my gosh.
- Right?
First one was weak, and they,
I don't know, maybe we didn't treat them well.
I think the first one was a bit weak.
- Yeah, maybe yeah.
- Second one, blown out without,
- Oh yeah.
That mint, the licorice.
- That is exactly what it said on the box.
That is a birthday cake, flavoured infusion.
- Um, really nice.
- Hmm.
- Like bizarre, Let's call...
- I wouldn't go that far.
- No, no.
I mean, for me, I mean,
for my diet, I like a lot of cake.
Could you imagine going to a birthday party,
And they'd be like, all right,
everyone have a birthday cake,
and they bring out amongst like that with a candle.
It's not gonna have to take off,
but, the classic Brook's mix cake.
- If you want,
a drink that tastes like, someone has bought some
water through a box mix cake.
- That's not real.
Yeah.
Not, not the intensity of a cake,
but the flavours in a diluted way,
but still not to the point where it's just water.
There is definitely a flavour there,
which compared to the first one was...
- That's much flavoured than the first.
- Yeah.
- I just know the second punch.
- No, no.
- But it is my favourite of the three.
- Okay.
Well, Thanks Tom.
- It was a nice experience.
- I just thought, well,
me and Tom are here in the kitchen,
we're making a really fun video.
And whilst we're here,
we'll have a nice little tea break in every sense.
And, actually,
my favourite of intense intensity was probably that
licorice one, because of like,
the prolongness.
It actually felt like there was flavour there.
- Yes.
- But in terms of replicating something for what it is,
I think this one.
- Yeah, agreed.
- All right.
Well those of you who haven't checked out,
There's Tom's two channels, actually.
- Oh yes. Thank you very much. - The ice cream,
but also remember we did the garlic bread into space.
If you're not one of the,
however million people that watched that.
Yeah, we wanted to send ice cream in space, didn't we?
- We did, and someone else has done that now,
and they did it better than I ever could.
But,
on the Plus channel, probably in January.
- Yup.
There's some ice cream in that freezer and
I'm quite nervous about it.
- Yeah.
Check it out and thanks, Tom.
We'll see you soon.
- Cheers. - Bye.

in between waiting for ice cream to set,
which we just tasted.
And I think we'll just say,
- Its rest period.
- Yeah look out for that video in January
on Tom's second channel.
And Tom actually brought with him another ice cream maker.
- Yup
- Basically, the same one that I use.
I don't need two, Tom doesn't need..
- And I don't need one.
- Yeah.
- One of you is gonna get it.
- Yeah. We're gonna giveaway.
This is not for patron,

So I'll announce in the description of the video,
how you can win it.
This is so, signed by Tom, right now.
Look at that.
Yeah. So we'll get that to you.
Thanks so much for watching folks.
Little bit around the video,
but it's great to have Tom here.
So we figured, Hey, I've got some crazy teas.
So what about the birthday cake tea?
(both laughing)
Good luck. And I'll let you know in the description,
how you can get that on a giveaway?
Hey folks. So, Tom's actually gone home now.
And to be honest,
we very nearly didn't do that video at all.
So I'm gonna the Jaffa cake one on my own.
Because I really, really wanted to try it.
This has got like,
I'll try and do an overlay now with the footage I've got,
but like, it's hot cocoa husks in it,
an orange peel and it smells,
oh my gosh!
It smells like a dark chocolate orange bar.
And look at this, it's almost like a black coffee.
That's been brewing in there for a couple of minutes.
And it went, like this colour straight twice.
There's nothing really more to show you.
But I figured, hey,
you know, Tom's here.
It's amazing, managed to get in the video.
And I was like,
oh yeah, but I want to just,
some of you guys might be inquisitive.
This was called Jaffa.
We're stuck at Jaffa cake one.
And, I just want to see what it tastes like, so.
Oh my gosh!
Tom's got, and I've got like, the like its an amazing one.
One of the other ingredients is black tea.
I've just tasted that.
That does not taste like chocolate or orange.
That tastes like black tea.
That's just hot mud.
Thanks for watching.
(phone ringing)
- Hey bro, how you doing?
- Not bad, Tom, you okay?
- Yeah, have I left something behind?
- Ah no, I just wanted to ring to tell you
that the chocolate orange one's disgusting.
(Tom laughing)
