No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I want to start drinking tea more instead of coffee, I really like matcha tea but whenever I’ve had it it was with milk, but I want to drink more water and want to know if I can mix water and matcha tea?

Also I have a cold brew coffee maker, could I put the powder in the filter as I submerge it? How long would it last in the fridge (assuming I can)?

Matcha is traditionally made with water. Using milk, like in a matcha latte, is a newer trend. Look up a traditional match recipe using a whisk. Note, I know that most people do this with ceremonial grade matcha, but I'm not sure if people do this with lower grade matcha (for example, the bag you might buy at Costco). It sounds like you are probably not using ceremonial grade, so I can't vouch for how good it will taste. However it's still worth experimenting with.

"Cold brew" matcha doesn't really make sense. The goal of cold brew is to extract flavor from coffee/tea leaves over a long period of time using room temp/cold water. However matcha isn't really meant to be extracted, it's meant to be suspended in a liquid and drunk. If you want a "cold matcha drink" rather than specifically cold brew, I would try just throwing some matcha with some cold water in a mason jar, pop the lid on, and shake it up. Then just drink immediately.

Oh you can drink the powder? You don’t need to remove it?

Is there a tea like matcha that would be good to cold brew?

It’s that simple to put in a jar and drink? Like I don’t need it to set?

By immediately you don’t mean in one go right? Like I can drink it in like 2 hours right?

You don't remove the powder, it's like instant coffee you just mix it with liquid until it's totally incorporated and you can drink. You can make it cold or hot, whatever you're feeling.

I don’t drink instant but I thought it was dissolvable TIL it is not. But I’ll try it with a mason jar thanks
