    16 December 1773 - COLONISTS THROW BRITISH TEA INTO BOSTON HARBOR:
    Members of the underground Sons of Liberty, some dressed as Indians,
    throw 342 chests of tea off British ships to protest "tax tyranny,"
    or Britain's Tea Act of 1773, which gave the East India Company a
    monopoly on the American tea trade. The Boston Tea Party will bring
    tensions between colonists and the British to a head.

    Title: Beef Tea
    Categories: Five, Beverages, Beef
    Yield: 2 Servings

    8 oz Beef chuck; in 1/2" cubes
    1/4 ts Salt
    3 c Water

    Combine the beef, salt, and water in a saucepan and bring
    to a boil over high heat. Let the mixture boil for 1
    minute. Reduce the heat to low and let the water barely
    simmer for 20 minutes more, skimming off any scum that
    forms on the surface. Remove the pan from the heat and let
    cool.

    Pour the liquid and the pieces of beef into the jar or
    container, cover it tightly, and let the liquid steep
    (like tea, of course) in the refrigerator for at least 24
    hours.

    Strain the liquid either through cheesecloth or a
    fine-mesh strainer and discard the beef. You'll be left
    with the tea. Serve hot.

    * Reserve the beef to add body to vegetable soup or to
    feed to a pet. Waste not, want not. - UDD

    Yield: Makes 2 servings
