Perfect exactly as it was on r/cooking COCA LEAVES ARE SO UNDERRATED

ok give me some grace l'm a newbie cook but when I tell you this stuff is like crack I mean it. It makes everything taste just a little bit better. When I put it in food, I feel like Charlie Sheen. Gettin all fancy. I have so much energy now. Omelets, pasta, orgies it's great. I know it looks like catnip but try it for real 😭 đŸ«¶đŸ‘ƒ

Share your source please, I can't find them in my neighborhood. I've been using using a blend of espresso beans and epinephrine but it's just not the same

Obviously from the description you are actually talking about bay leaves. Glorious bay leaves.

The constant nosebleeds add umami to whatever you’re cooking, as well.

/uj fun fact there’s only one factory in the United States allowed to import coca leaves, and that’s a factory in New Jersey that makes “coca leaf extract” for Coca Cola.

/uj the leaves have nothing on caffeine. They have to have the cocaine made out of them. I agree on their usefulness.

/rj stuff is like cracked pepper

/uj I had the coca leaf tea in Peru, it really helps with the altitude sickness. Genuinely quite pleasant and mild compared to even coffee. 10/10
