what's the easiest way to turn this solid brick into drinkable tea? should I get a drill to break it up into pieces?

So if they pulled one of those old tea bricks that were thrown into the Boston harbor during that old tea party way back when - from the bottom of the harbor after all this time would it still taste like tea?

is this safe to drink? even though it's a souvenir they sell in Boston tourist traps some people say they use glue to hold together the tea so it's only decorative. the actual package says "scrape brick edge with tea spoon into tea infuser" so not sure if that's true. help me out /tea/

Some relative gave me a souvenir tea brick from Boston as a gift a while back. Didn't really look at it until now. What the heck do you do with this? I heard these souvenir tea bricks are decorative only and processed with glue to hold them together. wtf?
