But I find it most surprising that the detailed rules say nothing about how long to steep the tea.
I'm a fan of the Dutch pancake, fluffy and oven-baked. I'm assuming they use baking powder for the fluffiness. The place I used to frequent when in Amsterdam has long gone but my heavens, they made an amazing banana baked pancake, with powdered sugar and genuine maple syrup.

Looks more like a crepe than a pancake.
What American's call a pancake would be an 'American pancake' over here.
You can subst orange blossom water for Cointreau or Grand Marnier. In fact try adding these into regular crepe, pancake or French toast batter. A tablespoon or so adds an absolutely wonderful nuance to the result.
Cf. crêpes Suzette, e.g. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/crepes-suzette

Only if you want pancakes with right angles. Totally impractical! On the other hand, did you know that the ratio of the volume of a cone to a hemisphere to a cylinder is 1:2:3?

He wrote it before 01694. Most of the English settlers who would define the American dialect of English hadn't moved to America yet in 01694, so there is no particular reason to expect Locke's definition to be more similar to the modern English definition than to the modern American definition. (And Nicosia claims that the result was in fact in between, even though she didn't beat it for the full 15 minutes.)
Curious: Why do you write it 01694 and not 1694?
