One of you mentioned trying this with bourbon sugar, which I don’t have, but it still sounded so good, I snagged a box for the house. It is balanced in favor of the cinnamon rather than the apple (which I was really craving) but it is a lovely herbal departure from minty stuff and overly spiced chai.

Bourbon sugar! That sounds interesting and likely, unavailable here.

This sounds like it has potential. Still, I worry about overly aggressive cinnamon and spice in CT blends.

In this case, it’s just the cinnamon rather than the empty-the-entire-contents-of-your-spice-rack nastiness of CS Bengal Spice.

Hahaha, yes, you know exactly what I am talking about.

This sounds far more reasonable.

I haven’t explored local shops to see if such a thing as bourbon sugar exists, but my husband did waltz home with a little bottle of—get this—coffee blossom honey. Haven’t opened it yet, but I’m looking forward to it!

I’ve found honey powder and lavender sugar at little local spice shops before so bourbon sugar seems like something a spice shop might carry.
