1 4 sprig yields approximately 1 Tablespoon of fresh oregano. 1 Tablespoon of fresh oregano is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of dried. Therefore, 1 sprig is approximately equal to â¦ 1 teaspoon dried, so 2 sprigs = approximately 2 teaspoons of dried oregano.
Tequila is an alcoholic drink made from the distilled agave plant. The general group of alcoholic drinks made from this plant are referred to as mescal, of which tequila is a specific and regulated form.Agave is not, as is commonly thought, a cactus, but is actually a large succulent more closely related to lilies.equila was mass produced and sold in Mexico during the 17th century. The first evidence that the agave plant was used to make an alchoholic drink dates back to the times of the Spanish Conquistadors nearly 500 years ago, who distilled the native drink into a stronger liquor.
Mezcal is widely known for the agave âwormâ (or gusano) that floats toward the bottom of the bottle. It is primarily a marketing gimmick to help boost sales, especially in the United States and in Asia. In fact, it is not a âwormâ at all, but one of two insect larvae (a caterpillar of a night butterfly or the larvae of the agave snout weevil) that can infest yucca and agave plants. Tequila never (ever!) has a worm in the bottle. Now that a few things are cleared up, you can now explain the differences between mezcal and tequila to anyone who is befuddled by the two. If you still are baffled, just try them! The unparalleled flavors will definitely speak for themselves.
