scientistsinistralThis one took me three attempts to get right.
Ingredients: Sri Lankan black tea, white chocolate, cacao peel, vanilla pieces, dried beetroot, pomegranate flowers, sunflowers, marigold flowers, flavouring (contains dairy).
The first time I brewed it straight and then fell asleep. It doesn't taste very nice when cold.
Despite this, the next time I brewed it at 80 degrees and then added half a cup of milk, which tasted alright, but from the colour I could tell it wasn't strong enough.
The third time, brewed it straight at 100 degrees, added a little bit of milk and sugar, and that was very nice. Kinda like a three bears situation.
Tasting notes:
Verdict: Once I did get it right, it was very nice. Could taste the richness of the black, with the sweetness and taste of the cocoa underneath.
Lessons Learned: Don't substitute the temperature for blacks, 100 degrees and milk is the way to go because if you do 80, it won't infuse strong enough.
You know what, I'm nixing the 'Would I drink it again?' category, because let's be real, I have so much tea that most things are not getting repeat bought unless they're literal nectar. If I call it nice, assume I've probably finished the packet.
