Day 8 of Plum Deluxe’s herbal advent calendar. The peppermint in this is so strong that it actually took me a minute to place the background flavor as rosemary. It definitely doesn’t taste like a straight peppermint tea, and I appreciate that this is something a little different. (One of the things that keeps me coming back to the Plum Deluxe advent is that there’s always a good variety of blends, many of which are creative.) I don’t hate this but I don’t really love it either. It’s just making me want rice! I might feel differently if I didn’t have such a strong association of rosemary with savory food and peppermint with tea or candy. I think they got the ratios about right in this blend, but the two flavors are registering in my mind as clashing. I am tempted to try cooking with this but I don’t think the peppermint would translate well to a savory dish (or at least I’m not a skilled enough cook to do it).
