Cuppageek Advent Day 22
I read the reviews before I made this one, and saw gmathis’ recommendation to make it with milk. I wasn’t sure if she meant to add milk to the tea or to make it IN MILK, but you know I am up for lattes since cooler weather started so a latte it is!
I steeped it a pretty long time, maybe six minutes, and this time I did not add whipped cream since several people said it was super sweet. I thought it was very good! I didn’t taste too much apple, but mainly maple sweetness.
Thanks to Cameron B I have been obsessing over jelly and jam, and thanks to Youngest being on an applesauce kick I have been thinking about those cheap packs of apple jelly you get in little diners, so I had middle daughter buy some apple jelly today and that is what I drank this with – toast with cheap apple jelly. I could have chosen a better pairing because that was sweet with sweet, but it went together all right and I enjoyed it!
I would like this tea much more with a couple of slices of bacon or an omelette. Yum!

My grandma used to make apple jelly! Now I want some… Sounds like a weekend project to me! ;)
I rarely eat jelly (or toast) but when I do, the super taste conjunction is cream cheese and jelly (any flavor).
I haven’t tried cream cheese and jelly, but it sounds good! We love the combination of butter (salty!) and sweet jelly or honey mixed with coconut oil which is unbelievably yummy!

Oooooh! ashmanra I just made a big batch of corn muffins to go with winter soups so I am going to try coconut oil honey butter. I do oil pulling every morning with coconut oil so I have plenty of it for cooking and recipe tweaking. : )
