The Cereal Tea harks back to a childhood tradition in which children devoured their favorite sweet cereal just to get to the best part, the flavored milk. By bypassing the first step, the Cereal Tea turns tradition on its head in only the best of ways. More than that, this form lends "an air of dignity to an otherwise childish act," according to the mastermind behind it.
Created by Aaron Geman, the Cereal Tea is rather easy to assemble (a step-by-step guide is posted on Instructables). After locating empty tea bags, pulverizing one's cereal of choice and funnelling the powder into the bags, all a person must do is staple it shut with the finishing touch, a tag. Voila! A Cereal Tea is born. Simply steep in milk and enjoy.
