DailyDirt: Trendy Drinks
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Some folks like to drink coconut water because it tastes good -- not because it's a fashionable, semi-exotic-sounding liquid that has some specious health claims. Some fads, like drinking raw milk are actually not that healthy. But if you just like trying out new stuff to drink (and carry around in a bottle or cup), check out a few of these links.- Maybe it's just in Brooklyn that it's cool to drink bone broth from a coffee cup. As long as it's not as expensive as $6 toast, who can argue against a tasty cup of soup? [url]
- Drinking reclaimed water is nothing new, but people are a little repulsed by the idea of drinking water that was recently treated from a sewer system. But maybe people won't be so turned off by beer brewed with 100% treated waste water? Or they might get pissed in multiple ways. [url]
- How about a refreshing pint of mead? It's not just a medieval honey-based drink anymore. A traditional brew would have about 16% alcohol content, but more modern versions have less than 6% or so. Mead is also one of the fastest growing segments in the US alcohol industry. [url]
- If you haven't heard of rooibos tea, well, maybe you haven't really missed out on anything. It's technically not a tea, but a tisane or infusion -- and maybe it's soo four years ago. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re:
Straight from the dairy? Nothing. There may be problems when it comes to stocking it in stores, though, since it has a dramatically shorter safe shelf life.

This is the reason that pasteurization was invented, to kill pathogenic (harmful) bacteria and prolong the shelf life of dairy products. From Wikipedia:
