I really want to go camping…
Method: 1.5 tsp @ 208 degrees for 3 minutes in 8 oz., French Press
Dry Leaf Aroma: Smoke, Ginger Ale, and Cream Ale. Not ginger or cream. Specifically ginger ale and cream ale. Crazy!
Brewing Aroma: The smoke calmed way down. I can smell the black tea and a very subtle sweetness.
Flavor: Smoke & Spice, with a hint of sweetness. I didn’t get any chocolate from the scents or flavors, but I still enjoyed this tea very much. The smoke wasn’t out of control, though it definitely feels like making s’mores at a campfire. There was a nice zing to this. I would have sworn it was ginger, instead of cinnamon, but I guess I would be wrong. I saw that another Steepsterite mentioned oversteeping. I’ll try that next!

Love this one so much! The smoke is done just right.
Oh, and I will try to think “ginger ale” next time I have it ;-)
I want to drink this while eating s’mores!
And yeah, get back to me on that ginger ale thing, pls. Because I was really baffled. Happy, but baffled. LOL. It was only in the dry leaf aroma! :)
I drank this with s’mores once. It was so perfect that I couldn’t taste the tea at all. Haha :)
I’m totally trying it. I have to run to the store this AM, and I just put supplies for s’mores on my shopping list.
:) Hehe, enjoy!
I love that my teas inspire others. That’s the goal!
OMG, so I got supplies, barely, b/c it’s not easy finding vegan marshmallows.
Anyway, I found these amazing salted chocolate bars, when I was buying the chocolate for the s’mores. I don’t think they’re a new thing, but I hadn’t noticed them before. I just made a faux s’more with some (no fire), and it was incredible.
Have you tried Sweet & Sara? They make amazing vegan marshmallows. I’ve seen them most consistently in Whole Foods and some natural foods stores. http://sweetandsara.com/
I haven’t seen those, Kaylee! The ones I tracked down here were from Chicago Vegan Foods. They’re called dandies. The flavor is spot on, but they aren’t as fluffy as non-vegan marshmallows. I just read that I can toast them without a campfire in the oven, so I’ll try that and hopefully they’ll melt nicely!
I’ve made s’mores by putting marshmallows on a fork and toasting them over the flame on my stove
You fancy peeps & your gas stoves. :p
Mine is electric (blah!), but the oven worked great. I put them in a cupcake tin and broiled on high for about 1 min each side. I’m about to post pics!
