Taking a repast between fighting Armageddon.
It really wasn't supposed to turn out this way, and we're very sorry. We didn't realize that this would actually happen, thought it was a joke. Loki and I found this old recipe - very old recipe - in a book buried in the attic at that old church we were scavenging in in Innsmouth. And, well we're both tea enthusiasts you see, so we couldn't resist it. It sounded like fun at the time. So we made it. And drank it.
Forgive us please, we honestly didn't believe this would happen. It's been exciting though, hasn't it? Zombies and horsemen and the leagions of heaven and hell, giant ships made of dead men's toenails, titans and monsters, heroes and villains. Too bad about the robots, really thought they were going to be on our side. And the swine.
We're still sorry for starting the whole thing, honestly. Too bad the tea wasn't very good.
Excerpt from a Very Old Book Indeed:
Armageddon Tea is made from the Blackest of Black Lapsang Souchong leaves dried over the burning embers of Yggdrasil the life tree, imbuing the leaves with smokey bitterness and despair. Other flavors are added later, including bitter orange and Naga Jolokia peppers harvested in their native Assam at the peak of summer.
Instructions for brewing Armageddon tea:
To achieve full flavor, boil 1 cup of leaves in 1 gallon of the tears of the innocent over hellfire until the liquid is reduced to the size of your tea cup. Add a dash of bitter orange extract or essence of end times. Pour into your favorite tea cup and despair!
A word of warning: be careful not to look too deeply into your cup, as there is a slight chance that the blackness of it will consume your soul.
