talon | Sneak Preview of Time Tarts

The sneak preview (or sampler copy) of Time Tarts and Chrono-Teas: Dirigible Devourments for the Intrepid is here!

This booklet only has an abbreviated version of the tea portion of the entire book. The sampler book focuses entirely on the steampunk history of tea, steampunking tea accessories, and then recipes for the steampunker - both how to make the foods and where to buy them already made. It's steampunk, and it is multicultural, as I have recipes for making boba teas, pickled teas, tisanes, layered teas, iced teas, long island tea, and brief information on the Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese tea ceremonies. And there are recipes using tea as an ingredient, for sorbets, tea smoking, making baklava with African honeybush tea, and more.

The full book goes into greater depth for tea, has more tea recipes of all sorts, and also has chapters on coffee, cocoa, sodas, and other beverages imbibed throughout the world and the snack foods that accompanied them. Most are from the era of steam, with overlap into gearpunk and dieselpunk, and all are adapted for the steampunk enthusiast.

I will have copies of the TT and CT sampler book available at the Oklahoma Steampunk Exposition. It is the only place anyone will be able to get copies and there are only a limited number of copies available. Once these are gone, people will have to wait until the full and complete book is available.
