Dont know anything about the olympic fencer but his namesake cocktail is quite good. Im not a huge campari fan but its quite approachable with the cointreau balancing it out
Dough is Kenji's same day dough from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXkT8LbCPOY&t=1 Ive found it to be the best same day dough for NY style pizza.
Pesto was homemade, just a bunch of basil, garlic, pinenuts, salt, and oil in the food processor.
Cooked for 8ish minutes at 550° in my home oven on a steel that had been preheated for about an hour
That looks like a cake of white tea. There are tools called tea picks that can be used to break the leaves apart or break chunks off, but you can also use a dull knife or anything that lets you wedge it in between the leaves. The goal is to break the leaves apart while leaving them as individually intact as possible.
For brewing, water temp does matter but Im not very familair with white tea, I would suggest doing a quick internet search, or you can experiment with different temps between 170°F-ish and boiling. I would recommend starting with a tea infuser basket, that would allow you to steep the loose leaves and remove them when done steeping. You could also look into brewing it gongfu style with a gaiwan or similar brewing vessel, again do a search for gongfu and you will find a plethora of information about tea brewing that way.
The tea subreddit is very beginner friendly, if you are ok with using reddit you can pop over there too, there is a ton of information about brewing guidelines and tea identification
Id be happy to try my hand at modding [email protected]
I found a recipe from the '50s a while back that I tried once for a Claret Cobbler which was actually quite delicious.
"Fill tumbler 1/2 full cracked ice. Add 1 dash maraschino, 1 teaspoon each sugar and lemon juice. Fill with Claret. Stir and add fruit"./
I used rich symple syrup in place of the sugar and subbed in triple sec for the maraschino since it was what I had for fruity flavors and then just served with an orange wedge instead of with fruit in it but it basically tasted like souped up wine. Im not a big fan of wine in the first place but the bit of sugar and extra fruitiness made it something I could definitely sip all night
