            Sometimes it is in the name and presentation.  For example, I have made "acorn coffee" from locally collected and minced acorns, but probably could have also called it acorn tea.  It was pretty good, by the way. The dandelion tea was not too bad, either. At least it was warm and contributed to the fellowship that went on.

            And as to mincing anything, there are two usual ways to do it.  One is to have a grinder, and the other is to put the product in a some kind of cloth, and use a heavy object, like a hammer or stone or piece of wood, to pound it and break it up. Even our Native American ancestors often used their version of a mortar and pestle to do the same thing.
