Has anyone ever tried miracle berry / miracle fruit? I haven't, but I bought a miracle fruit shrub and there are now buds all over it that are going to develop into the berries.
You chew a berry and let the juice sit on your tongue for a minute, then for the next 30 minutes to two hours, everything sour or bitter tastes sweet. Lemon tastes like candy, sourdough bread tastes like cake, etc. Even vinegar and Guiness beer tastes sweet.
After eating one of these berries, just put a little lemon in your tea and it tastes as if it is sweetened.
