Thought I’d try this one again because I want to conserve my 3 remaining earl grey bags until my adagio shipment gets to me on Wednesday.
This time I tried steeping at a lower temperature and adding some lemon juice and although it doesn’t make it much better, it does make it slightly more enjoyable, I’m happy I had this in my cupboard after all.
I don’t know why this tea is in the stash; I have no memories of ever acquiring Bigelow; is it one of those items that every household secretly has if you look hard enough? A mystery, but a good one, as it turns out this is the tea bag that goes well with lemon and honey (and dark, caramel-like Kraken Rum). I liked the result so much I made two cups (one without rum and one with). The final result admittedly may taste a little like flat vanilla coke (so strange, not questioning it).
The tea itself smells pleasantly of broken black tea (from what I can tell) and tastes like one would expect – straightforward, astringent, and malty-sweet. This is the perfect base to add the lemon slice (which bubbles as it steeps), honey, and (optional) a little rum (but not too much because the cough meds don’t play well). I may revisit this even when I’m not sick (the hot toddy-like drink finally won me over).
Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Malt, Sweet
So pleased that you gave this a whirl! Too bad about the cough medicines interfering with my father’s approach to scaring evil badness germs and their effects away.
For full effect, in future when meds are not in play, use black builder’s tea, a whole lemon, juice and pulp, two big spoons of pure organic honey, buckwheat if available, and two good glugs of dark rum. Drink hot-Ish and go to bed.
Funny, my father, who was an abstainer, would always deliver this rather potent drink to whomever was ailing. It always did the trick.
I need another whole lemon lol.
Buckwheat! Never heard of that.
Yeah, the addition of buckwheat would be interesting (I like buckwheat but don’t have any on me right now)!
Buckwheat honey or wildflower honey. NOT buckwheat the grain.
Oh.. that makes sense. Buckwheat honey is nice too (buckwheat “tea” powder would’ve added thickness to the concoction).
Haha, sounds like you are coming back to yourself. Yay! Clearly, the tea worked :)
Sorry … four days on Sudafed has turned my brain into one giant cobweb. Buckwheat honey makes sense! Oy.
:)
I hope YOUare coming back to yourself too.
Yes, everyone take care! :)
