Many, many years ago, I got a part-time job at a summer children's camp on the shore of the Sea of Azov. I worked in the kitchen at the dining room, I had electric boilers in my care, with a volume of probably 100 liters. And one day there was an incident. In general, there were strict sanitary rules (several hundred children), strict timing, etc. The work of the canteen was constantly monitored. And then one morning there was coffee with milk on the menu (probably low in caffeine, but I didn't think about it at the time). They brought me a couple of cans of milk, I poured them into the boiler, boiled them and the milk curdled! It is unclear why, but the weather was hot. A consultation was held, and the director of the canteen ordered to give out a couple of boxes of condensed milk in cans from the inviolable stock. The can opener was disgusting, and there were dozens of cans. Time was running out. I diluted the milk with water, boiled it - and this milk curdled too. I still don't understand how it happened, I've never seen anything like it in my life. The situation was almost catastrophic. The canteen director made a desperate decision: to replace coffee with tea on the menu. It was a definite violation. The tea was prepared as follows: on a huge aluminum boiler (60 liters) a huge colander was also placed, several kilograms of black tea were poured into it, and boiling water was poured. When this was done, it turned out that there was already brewed coffee in the cauldron under the colander. That was a pure disaster. I don't know what the director went through, but he ordered it to be poured into teapots and called "tea". But the most amazing thing is that the children were very pleased with this drink, no one complained.
