Damn Kelly, you knocked this one out of the park!

I know this isn’t actually a Hanukkah tea, but jelly donuts (sufganiyot) are a Hanukkah food so I saved it to enjoy for the holiday. And I’m glad I did because the actual sufganiyot I had today were, sadly, not particularly good. This tea, on the other hand, is. It’s a dead ringer for the flavor profile: red berry jammy, powdered sugar, and pastry. The stevia isn’t even gumming up the works. I am getting almost a raspberry quality to the jam, not just strawberry. I tried this as a latte but I actually prefer it hot and undoctored. It’s more “strawberry milk” as a latte but more “jelly donut covered in powdered sugar” undoctored. Definitely not for someone who doesn’t like flavored teas or sweet teas – it is very sweet – but this hits a very particular cultural note for me very well. I’ve still got the latke tea tucked away to try too!

Gotta love a holiday whose cuisine is primarily fried!
