Ok. the first couple times I brewed this I really wasn’t impressed. There was nothing eggnog like at all. Hubs tasted it and wasn’t crazy about it either. Figure I must be doing SOMETHING wrong because of all the amazing reviews here on Steepster. How could I not like this tea when it seems like it appeals to so many?
Well I steeped some tonight because I wanted a little sweet. For the heck of it I added just a touch of rock sugar….but then I forgot about it. Baby feeding, 4 year old kept getting out of bed…yadda yadda.
So by the time I got to it it was cooled significantly.
And it’s AMAZING! I don’t know maybe drinking it a little cool is the way I need to drink it. It still isn’t quite eggnog but it’s super milky and creamy and sweet. It’s delightful. Had the hubs blind taste it and he went “oooo that’s delicious” and I said “I know right?”
Who knew. Just had to find my ideal temp. Now I really enjoy it. I’ll be brewing much more of it in the future!
