Day 5/24 of 24 days of Tea (DAVIDs Advent Calendar)
I’m not going to do too long of a tasting note on this one since I did a note 2 days ago.
This time around I tried this tea straight as opposed to a latte (see other note). Despite steeping about 2 tsp in 8oz of boiled water for 10min, it was really weak. You don’t get nearly the same amount of banana + nut deliciousness. Definitely way better as a latte. Rating still remains 90 for a latte, but straight up it’s like 65.

yeah I always found the liquor for this one a bit weak!
Glad I’m not the only one!
One day I need to order it up as a latte from the store. Somehow it never turns out when I try myself at home
I found that true for myself for a long time until I tweaked (and bought) a few things. Idk if this helps, but here’s my recipe and I personally find it turned out quite good:
get 4 perfect spoonfuls of tea (10tsp)
-Place in steeper and fill with 8oz of water + any sweetener desired (I really like the steeper because it allows the flavours to be released well)
-steep for desired amount of time (I only do herbals/rooibos lattes so I steep from 5-10min) stirring often to release flavours
-In the meantime, froth milk in a frother (I’ve been using whole milk from a local farmer and it’s so creamy and lovely)
-when done, put tea in mug + add milk afterwards, leaving the froth to go on top
Dunno if this will help, and like you said you can always get it at the store where it’s a lot less work lol :)
Hmm I haven’t got a good frother. But thanks for the tip, I’ll keep that in mind for sure!! Oh and we only have skim milk here, unfortunately. Boo. Really need my own place here, so I can set things up “my” way haha

Yeah good frothers can be stupidly expensive :/. I found a decent one at homesence for about $30 and so far so good! I hear you also about not being able to do things your own way- I was so glad when I got married last year and moved out and was able to have things my way :)
Right?! Ugh, SO much would be different in my house. One day…
