No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Oh you can drink the powder? You don’t need to remove it?
Is there a tea like matcha that would be good to cold brew?
It’s that simple to put in a jar and drink? Like I don’t need it to set?
By immediately you don’t mean in one go right? Like I can drink it in like 2 hours right?
You don't remove the powder, it's like instant coffee you just mix it with liquid until it's totally incorporated and you can drink. You can make it cold or hot, whatever you're feeling.
I don’t drink instant but I thought it was dissolvable TIL it is not. But I’ll try it with a mason jar thanks
Nope. Matcha is meant to be ground fine enough such that it suspends in your liquid and is drinkable without filtering.
Sencha or any other green tea can be cold brewed. I've never done it myself, but pretty sure you just throw tea in some water and let it sit for a while. I've never done it myself, so just look up "cold brew green tea." Granted, this will only be like matcha in flavor and not in mouthfeel. Furthermore, if you plan on adding milk, this is probably not the best route to take since green tea is generally much weaker than matcha, so adding milk eliminates any semblance of flavor from the tea.
Yep
The matcha will settle out if you let it sit. However, you can just shake it up again and then drink it after letting it sit.
I'd add to this that if you want cold brew green tea that tastes anything like matcha, stick to Japanese greens. Just general "green tea" is IME usually more Chinese in style and a different (though also delicious) beast altogether. Sencha is the quintessential Japanese green tea and most easily available, and IMHO makes a very nice cold brew in summer.
Actually cold brewing might also be a good experiment for any possibly remaining mid-grade matcha you may have, since the method tends to reduce astringency and bitterness; just use it like a normal tea (larger amount) and don't stir towards the end, let the tea powder "gunk" settle at the bottom. I have not tried this.
