knittingopera Swap Advent Calendar 2024 – Day 20
Theme: A Black Tea
My pick: The Magician from Wild Coast Brew
I prepared this one with sugar and oat milk, which was maybe a mistake, as it came out a bit weak in flavor. I definitely taste the cardamom, but the black tea itself isn’t quite strong enough to stand up to this treatment. There’s something slightly savory about it, that’s reminding me of thyme or maybe rosemary. Not sure if that’s from the black tea or just how the cardamom is coming across. It’s not bad, but not what I was expecting for a cardamom black tea latte ha ha.
Almost forgot jam! Today it’s Mixed Berries Spread, which is a combination of blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry. To me, the blackberry takes the lead, but I can taste the tartness of raspberry and the syrupy sweet blueberry as well. It’s nice and very rich in flavor, but IMO it’s a bit too sweet overall. I think maybe leaving the blueberry out would’ve helped.
