Homemade Advent Calendar from AJRimmer – Day 10
Did I maybe brew this wrong? I’m getting creaminess and a bit of an underlying floral note, but not picking up on any spices at all. This is the kind of creamy where I’m pretty sure they added flavoring to amp it up. Maybe I didn’t get a good tea-to-additions ratio in my steeper? It’s a very easy drinker, I think I’m just confused by not getting any spiciness here.

I’d probably call this a spiced tea and not a chai because the spices are a little mild compared to the flavor of the base, but I definitely did taste them a fair amount – interesting!
