Kitchen Science: Tia Maria and Cream Pictures

tags: , ,

I was reading the New Scientist book last night, called How to Fossilize Your Hamster and this was one of the very experiments I read about, while wishing I was in a pub instead of my bed (although I would instead be making Tia Maria and cream disappear instead, snert) And heyyyy, doesn't that cream formation look like Jesus Christ? [3:48]

The explanation for this weird phenomenon is "saludal convection" where liquids of two densities mix together. If I am not mistaken, this experiment is even more interesting if you use Kahlua instread of Tia Maria because Kahlua is thicker.
