Anyone ever drink coca tea from Peru? My friend just returned from a vacation in Peru and brought back a box of coca tea. The coca leaf is the same leaf that cocaine is manufactured with. I Havent had any yet....

Seriously. "How did that get in there officer? :Q:confused:"
Apparently you can chew the leaves for an effect simmilar to a cup of coffee.

I love your signature aircooled:cool:

2 tea bags, 14oz hot water, 20 munites steep. Had to add some splenda, it's like a "wilder" green tea flavor.
