the Stallion (drink)

"The stallion" is a drink popular in the Russian system of justice. Its selling point is the caffeine kick that is enough to unalive a stallion - often a necessity in the harsh reality of serving a sentence.

For one cup you'll need:

• A matchbox full of finely ground black tea.
• Two teaspoons of water-soluble coffee.
• A cup of piping hot water.
• Optionally, a squeeze of sweetened condensed milk.

First, you'll brew the black tea in a separate cup using half your water. Put in the whole matchbox. Ignore brewing suggestions on the packaging; the water has to be 100°C sharp.

Once you've set your tea base to ripen, brew your coffee right in the drinking cup.

Wait for 5 or so minutes for the tea to release the flavor and a "stallion" dose of caffeine, and pour the whole cup into the coffee.

Add sweetened condensed milk to the resulting tonic to make it slightly more drinkable. You're done (for)!
