I made tea using 6 pounds of tea leaves

and ants. So the tea in china comes in 'cakes' a cylindrical dish shaped object made of tea. You can stack several together and wrap them up which makes a lovely gift for anyones Birthday, anniversary, or welcome present. I was given a 6 pound stack of tea cakes a couple of weeks ago, though it was only yesterday that i decided to open it up and perhaps make some. As soon as I opened it thousands upon thousands of tiny ants came scrambling out. Apperently they have decided to make it their home for the past couple weeks. Well I know myself, and I know I don't like to drink anything with bugs in it, nor do I know anyone that would, except maybe Camille (who on a dare last year ate a Mexican beatle and LIVED!) So I took the stack of and decided to make a bath tub full of tea. Apparently these ants did not take to the water very well and drown. But there is no way that i'm touching those tea cakes again, well only for revenge. So beware.
