Yummm—Maraschino Cherries! There’s a fine line between maraschino cherries and cherry cough syrup and I’m happy to say that the cherry-ness in this tastes like pure maraschino cherries—which I love because it reminds me of Shirley Temple drinks and childhood. :)
I do taste pineapple, sugar and a hint of cake. This is kind of like a canned fruit salad. It’s sweet and candy-like but not cloying. I wish there were more of a cake-y taste but I’m enjoying this a lot—it’s great as a dessert tea. It’s almost like Pineapple Ambrosia but without the marshmallow fluff.
I detect no pipe tobacco-ness or woodiness like I would with a rooibos. Honeybush is great! :)
Preparation
Boiling
8 min or more
I so prefer honeybush to rooibos.
Yumm…love your description of this tea. I may have to try it for it’s maraschino not cough syrup cherry! I was a bit worried, but I should have known Frank could do it!
