experiments in tea #27: sangria (bird & blend)
I preface this by saying that I've never tried sangria, so I have no point of comparison.
Ingredients: Hibiscus, Apple Pieces, Rosehip, Orange Peel, Cardamom, Lime Peel, Natural Flavouring
Brewing notes: Definitely drank this over a series of 4 hot cups. 100°C, because I had a temperature control kettle at the time.
Tasting notes:
Verdict: The spice came through alongside the fruit. It was... probably better if the weather was colder, because it was still quite warm when I was drinking this, but it was very warming. Despite my low spice tolerance in general (see incoming Ginger Beer 'nope nope nope' review), it was a good one!.
Lessons Learned: Spice is... sometimes warming and good. Cardamom is warming and not that bad. Also, sangria is not something I want to try in alcohol, but okay in tea.
