Earlier this week, I asked if anyone could identify this:

There were some valiant efforts. Jenni thought it was an Asian mushroom dish. Cindy guessed a plant, but Chris said it looked more like sickle cell anemia. C&K’s pimp suggested sauteed tapeworm in oyster sauce. Karan and Celine thought it was a photo of green beans. But the entry that made me laugh the hardest was the one from weaker vessel who asked if it was French fries after a tsunami. Thanks to all who played, but unfortunately we have no winners. (Cindy was close though.) Next time, I’ll make it easier or offer a prize for most outlandish guess or something.

So now, the big reveal.

Click the links below to buy your own Whatever That Is.

First, you take some Jasmine Dragon Phoenix pearls from Teavana.

Pour 1 teaspoon of the pearls into the Teavana Perfect Tea Maker.

Add some steamy, boiling hot water.

Seep for 1-2 minutes and watch the pearls unravel.

After 2 minutes, place the Perfect Tea Maker on top of your mug. Soothing jasmine green tea magically dispenses into your mug.

Voila!

And so this:

is what remains in the Tea Maker.
