Brick buttering

Minor Varieties. Brick teas are prepared in the former Soviet Union and in parts of the People s RepubHc of China (82). These products are often cooked as a soup with butter or other fats. Flavorants such as jasmine flowers maybe added during processing. Oil of bergamot is used to prepare Ead Grey tea. 

Control of the polymorphic forms in cocoa butter is further compHcated by the presence of other fats such as milk fat. The fat in a chocolate can be likened to the mortar between the bricks in a mason s wall. The soHd particles in a weU-conched chocolate bed down better than the soHds in a coarsely refined and poorly mixed one (30). 

Tea is compressed into a molded brick in part of the Soviet Union and China. Portions of the bricks are broken off for use and are sometimes cooked with butter or other fats.26... 

Watch the way the masons handle the trowel and butter the brick. Are the mating surfaces completely and uniformly covered with mortar (if the mortar is "runny," it can run out of the joints and should be discarded. "Dipping" brick into mortar is absolutely prohibited. If there are any voids or bare spots, more mortar must be applied.)...

The mortar must have a heavy enough consistency to support the weight of the brick without being squeezed from the joints while the joint is curing. Application is made by buttering each joint. Joints are usually Vs in. (3 mm) wide.
