Finally had a somewhat decent sleep last night. I was only woken once by the neighbours, by the baby, I assume. And yay, I feel almost human. I just might be able to function at some capacity, just maybe. There’s good reason that sleep deprivation is a torture technique.
Oh what a wonderful thing sleep is!
I had forgotten about my remaining samples from tigress some time ago, and today, now that I have an extra brain cell or two, I pulled them out. This is the first one my hand got a hold of.
Good choice. Brisk malty base with a good healthy layer of maple on top. A real pleasure.
Thanks, tigress_al, for popping this one into the bag.
Flavors: Malt, Maple
How did you combine it with the oatmeal? Did you just add a bit after the oatmeal was cooked, or use it for all or part of the cooking liquid? Interesting idea!
I let the tea cool down a little bit. Then I used the tea instead of the water in making the oatmeal. Kinda a little experiment.
What an excellent idea. I sometimes make savory oatmeal instead of sweet — will have to experiment with using Lapsang Souchong as the liquid. (I know, this will horrify some folks!)
Try adding real maple syrup! So yum
I’ve added a bit of applewood smoked salt and I have pure maple sugar (granulated) if needed and Lapsang Souchong for the diehard smoke lovers.
Yep, oatmeal would be great with a Lapsang as well, or used in BBQing, I will have to try that next!
