Made this as a latte and decided to cap it off with some fat-free whipped cream, a couple of sprinkles, and a cherry on top. It made for a cute idea but a sloppy execution because the foam of the latte couldn’t hold the added stuff so this just caved in on itself. That left the cherry to sink right to the bottom. Add to that the fact that this is so subtle even the milk drowns it out and you are left with a slightly sweet cup of warm milk with a tiny cherry aftertaste.
Speaking of cherry, my friend bought a cherry liqueur when she was in Cuba and we decided to do a shot last Saturday while we were celebrating my friends birthday. The start of the sip was a medicinal cherry flavor (read: cough medicine) but the aftertaste was what really got us. We drank it and looked at each other puzzles going “I know I know this flavor…what is it?!” And then someone said “curry”. Yep, cough syrup with a curry finish. Pretty damn disgusting. Not that I did much better because I brought a bottle of wine that I bought in Greece and alas it went bad so we were left with a wine that tasted like caramel syrup coated raisins, and vinegar. Blech.
Ha, it was worth trying.
