This is one of the first Harney and Sons loose leaf teas I ever bought. My youngest daughter was really hooked on IB from A Southern Season so I wanted to try this. Foolish little tea baby that I was, I thought it was too strong, and we were drinking it with milk and sugar! Oh, how we grow and change! It turns out the SS one was weak.
I ground a batch of wheat today and made a pound cake (still in oven) and then we started experimenting with a single serving deep dish instant chocolate chip cookie recipe I had found. I wanted a tea that would stand up to the ncredible sweetness of this and offset it.
This is fantastic with it! The pure Assam is somewhat fruity and nicely malty. I am drinking mine without milk or sugar. The sweetness of the cookie would be far too much for me with a sweetened tea. This cuppa has good heft but isn’t brutal, just bracing. It is a very nice choice to pair with sweets in addition to being a very good breakfast milk and sugar cuppa.

Just the name of the cookie recipe is breaking me out in a cold sweets sweat!
Just sent you the recipe in an email – enjoy! Don’t forget to buy ice cream! :)
That sounds amazing!!!
Melt one tablespoon butter in a bowl or very small casserole dish. Add one tablespoon white sugar and one of brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, one egg yolk, five drops vanilla, and I found I liked it best with 1/2 to one teaspoon milk stirred in. The recipe didn’t call for milk but the first try was a little dry and adding me whole egg was a disaster!
Stir in two tablespoons chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts, M&M’s, whatever you like!
Microwave 50 seconds. Great with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top! And for me, enough for two people if you have had a meal and just want a light dessert.
