I accidentally made a duplicate entry of this as “Strawberry Cupcake” and now I can’t delete it. Does anyone still have admin access to delete duplicates and, if so, could you please delete it?

This is a sipdown of my oldest green tea for ashmanra’s sipdown challenge (or at least a very old green, I probably have some bits of Butiki still hoarded). This blend is 8 years old! I’m just glad that it didn’t spoil or mold. It’s not as good as it was years ago, but still a pretty enjoyable cuppa! Broadly speaking, the flavoring held up better than the base. The base has gotten a bit of an edge that I don’t remember being there before. The creamy vanilla and sweet strawberry are still good though! It’s “crunchy freeze-dried strawberry” more than it is candylike or fresh and juicy. I added a bit of honey, which smoothed out the edge on the base, made a tasty cuppa, and gave this blend a proper sendoff. Since I was drinking slowly, the tea cooled before I reached the bottom of the mug. I topped it off with seltzer and got a good tea soda out of it!
