Tea : Dried leaves, boiled.
Tea is considered a delicacy in many parts of the Galaxy. However, the proliferation of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Nutrimatic Drinks Machines has made it very hard to get a good cup of tea. It is also a strong Brownian Motion producer. When a Brambleweeny57 sub-meson brain is linked to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a nice hot cup of tea, finite amounts of improbability are produced. This scientific effect was used to manufacture the Infinite Improbability Drive that powers the starship ‘Heart of Gold.’
A favorite drink of Arthur Dent.
