After hearing the voices of plants, farming in the countryside exploded

Chapter 258 Control Variable Method, Finding the Optimal Combination

Zhang Ruanruan poured out half of the brewed milk tea and divided it evenly into six small cups.

Then put a label on the remaining half cup of milk tea with detailed data such as grams of tea powder, sugar content, time for brewing tea, pressure, etc.

"Come, try them all."

Then comes the most critical step.

Drink tasting session!

"I'm a little nervous."

Feng Nuannuan wiped the sweat from his hands.

"What are you afraid of? If it doesn't taste good, try again next time. If it doesn't work the first time, try ten times. There's always a chance that you'll get it right."

Zhang Ruoruan was very calm.

After saying that, he was the first to pick up the cup and drink it in one gulp.

Seeing Zhang Ruanruan being so straightforward, the others followed suit and drank it all in one gulp.

Because she was prepared for a protracted battle, Zhang Ruanruan prepared disposable wine glasses for tasting, and each glass was just enough for one sip.

"Forehead……"

After drinking the milk tea, everyone's face changed. They stared at the empty cups with expressions that were hard to describe.

But maybe due to some reasons, no one commented.

"It tastes terrible."

Zhang Ruanruan spoke for them.

With Zhang Ruanruan taking the lead, others can also speak up.

"so bitter."

“It’s a bit bitter.”

"strange."

Although the evaluation is different, the meaning is the same.

It just tastes bad.

"It's a big deal, folks. It's so nasty."

Zhang Ruanruan threw the cup into the trash can and looked back at the camera.

I thought the comments would be full of ridicule, but I didn't expect that they were all seriously analyzing the reasons for the failure.

"The pressure of brewing tea is too great! Turn it down a bit. With such a high pressure, what's the difference between the tea soup and the tea that has been brewed all day?"

"The milk is too hot. How can you make milk tea with just boiled milk? You should let the milk cool down before making it. Hot tea + hot milk, what are you thinking?"

"The tea powder is too fine. Make it a little bigger. Otherwise it will be too bitter."

The analysis of the barrage is similar to Zhang Ruanruan’s idea.

Since it's just an experiment, we must start with the worst-looking value.

If the worst values ​​are not unpalatable, then the next ones will be much easier.

"Let's start with tea."

Chen Li is indeed a professional and made a very constructive suggestion.

Have tea first.

"Yes, we can have tea first without making the finished product."

"That's right. After drinking the tea that's neither bitter nor astringent, mix it with milk."

"Keep going."

Feng Nuannuan and the others also reacted. Their previous low mood due to the unpalatable first cup suddenly lifted and they became excited again.

Next, everyone divided the work and cooperated.

Zhang Ruanruan brews tea, and Feng Nuannian records pressure, time, and water volume.

Chen Li, Ren Qian and others used a coffee bean grinder to grind the tea powder again.

Wang Xinru records the coarseness and fineness of tea powder.

A total of four sizes were ground.

Wang Xinru divided them into large, medium, small and fine.

The small particles are the size that Zhang Ruanruan had just ground.

Now, Zhang Ruanruan continued to use fine particles, reduced the pressure and time, and re-extracted the tea twice.

After getting the rich tea, pour in mineral water to dilute it, and then each person gets two cups.

"The two cups are a little different. Try which one tastes better."

After a while.

"Uh, both cups taste terrible."

"It's too astringent, not like freshly brewed tea, but like the kind that has been steeping in the teapot for hours."

"I like sweet, this is too bitter for me, both cups."

Okay, we can draw a conclusion.

Maybe there is a problem with the pressure and duration of brewing tea, but the biggest problem is that the fine-grained tea powder is too fine, and it tastes bitter no matter how you brew it.

"Try a smaller pellet."

Zhang Ruanruan continued to make tea.

"Better."

"It's drinkable now."

"It's a bit like brewing tea stronger, but at least it's not very bitter."

Medium grain.

"This tastes good." "I like this taste."

"I think it's okay."

Large grains.

"Hey, I like this better."

“I think it’s too bland.”

"Man faint, full faint."

After one round, it can be basically confirmed that the particles are too fine.

Medium and large particles have the best coarseness.

As for which one is better, it depends on the individual.

“You can try mixing it with milk.”

Zhang Ruanruan continued to make tea.

Feng Nuannuan and the others went to boil raw milk.

Cook four pots.

The first pot is pure raw milk.

In the second pot, add 50 grams of osmanthus to one pound of milk.

In the third pot, add 50 grams of jasmine flowers to one pound of milk.

In the fourth pot, add 25 grams of osmanthus and 25 grams of jasmine to one pound of raw milk.

Three minutes later.

Try the hot tea + hot milk combination again.

"Hey, it's not bitter anymore, so it doesn't really matter whether the milk is hot or cold."

"But 50% sugar is a bit bland. I think 70% sugar would be better."

"Bland? I think it's a bit sweet."

All evaluations and data are recorded every year.

Next, osmanthus-flavored hot milk heats the tea.

"Wow! This tastes good!"

"The scent of osmanthus, I like this."

"Me too."

Unanimously praised.

Then to Jasmine.

"I like this too."

"Delicious."

"Well, it tastes good. I feel my tongue is numb."

"I don't like the taste of jasmine. I won't comment on it. It shouldn't be bad to drink. But if I have to choose the flavor of milk base in the future, I will definitely not choose jasmine."

Zhang Ruoruan nodded.

Then there is the mixed flavor of jasmine and osmanthus.

"Uh, that's weird."

"What the hell is this?"

"I almost passed out."

"No."

"It tastes terrible."

Even the osmanthus and jasmine flowers specially cultivated by Zhang Ruanruan received unanimous negative reviews at this moment, including from herself.

Obviously, the combination of jasmine and osmanthus results in the opposite result of 1+1 being less than 1.

Feng Nuannuan completely crossed out the plan of mixing the milk base in his little notebook.

death penalty.

Forget about this mixed idea.

Next, Zhang Ruanruan turned the fan to maximum, cooled down all the milk except the mixed flavors, and then added ice cubes.

After chilling for a while, continue to brew the tea and start again.

This time, it was a combination of hot tea and cold milk.

"It's comfortable, and it's better to be cold."

"It would be better if it were a little sweeter."

"It's weird. When it's hot, I think it's sweet, but now it's cold, it tastes bland."

"Try adding a little more syrup."

"It still has to be chilled. Hot milk is drinkable, but after drinking cold milk, you won't like hot milk anymore."

"This is really good. I haven't tasted anything better than this on the market."

Everyone is expressing their opinions.

Although they had already drunk a lot of milk tea, everyone's expressions were becoming more and more excited.

The feeling of working together, overcoming difficulties, and finally choosing the best solution is so addictive.

"Add two more cubes of ice."

"The 70% sugar content has the best taste. I think we can set this sugar content as the standard sugar content in the future."

"Well, although I like light ones, if this milk tea is light, the taste and texture will be far from perfect."

Everyone discussed it and decided on the sugar content.
