I like chocolate and orange in candy form so I figured, Why not? I liked it but it was missing something. I added crushed red pepper flakes to bring out the heat a little. I don’t really like food or teas that are too spicy, but I seem to crave a little bit more spice lately. (It’s 11 degrees today) I really enjoyed it just a bit spicier. I really don’t know how much I used. The red pepper is sort of old so I think it had lost some of its heat. You’ll just have to do it by trial and error.:) I have also tried it with just a little lite vanilla soy milk. Ummm, yummy. It does have sort of a weird oil film as someone else said. For me, esthetically it’s not one I’d put in one of my fancy tea cups, maybe in a tumbler where I wouldn’t see it.
This is You :-D
Profile
Bio
Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.
Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.
Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.
95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home
90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more
80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more
70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)
50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor
Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
