I ate quite a lot of it when I was younger but I don't think I ever ate it
for breakfast. Back then we had a little Asian store in Lynnwood (WA) and I
would buy packets of instant Miso and also some sort of hot peppermint or
lemon grass drink. It wasn't tea and it wasn't sweetened. Came in little
cubes, almost like bouillon but flatter. You would pour hot water over it
and it would fizz but the end result wasn't fizzy. The end result of the
peppermint was clear like water but the lemon grass had a slightly yellow
tint to it. Both reminded me of tea.
