![]() ![]() When making my first batch of MUD\WTR, I made the mistake of sticking the MUD Whip (\whip) straight into boiling liquid. If you don’t stir it properly into your hot water, you'll find that there will be a thick layer of sludgy mud at the bottom of your cup. This is where the MUD Whip (\whip) comes in, for a little encouragement. On its website, MUD\WTR suggests to “stir well,” which is sort of an understatement. Math in the morning usually does not set me up for success. Google told me that roughly one teaspoon was 4.2 grams, which meant I could use my little half teaspoon three times to get a measurement that felt close enough. When I asked Siri how I can translate grams into teaspoons, Siri said that they weren’t compatible, which, incidentally, is exactly how I’d describe my relationship with Siri. The primary serving suggestion is a "mud latte," which I'm convinced should be called a MUD\LTE, and which is merely a combination of one tablespoon of MUD\WTR and six grams of ":creamer." (However, there are numerous considerably more appetizing MUD\WTR recipes available on the brand’s site, from smoothies to nog to cake.) The fact that the creamer (sorry, ":creamer") is measured in grams makes me wonder if maybe there’s more to this creamer than meets the eye. But for those of us who are caffeine-sensitive, coffee can have some seriously negative side effects, especially if you suffer from anxiety. This feeling, I've been told, is not the sort of thing most people should expect after a single grande latte. Although coffee helped me survive some dark times (often literally dark times, because I foolishly decided to get jacked on caffeine after 6 PM), there was a point where I had to say enough was enough-partially because I drank too much of it, but mainly because I realized that coffee wasn't really waking me up instead, it was increasing my anxiety to the point where it felt like someone had tied my innards into a knot. ![]() It’s what got me through college, and those late nights of pretending to do homework or study when in actuality I was brewing more coffee. Now before I dive into the thing-the mud water… er, MUD\WTR that is-let me give you a brief overview. ![]()
