Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge – a tea that reminds you of a family member.
This is pear tea but it tastes and smells like those soft orange peanut-shaped candies that we call Circus Peanuts. Why are they called Circus Peanuts when they are not peanut flavored? Why banana? And why does this pear tea taste like banana candy?
My mother loved those Circus Peanuts so when I was in a store that had them (they were rather hard to find) I would buy her some.
The tea is fun and tasty, not an expensive tea and easily accessible. It would have been a good tea for the “cheap tea” prompt, too.
I was going to make it for lunch to go with our salads when I remembered that Ashman doesn’t like pear and says it tastes floral to him, so I ended up having this and he got Glazed Lemon Loaf.
Circus Peanuts are my most hated candy (though I also hate all things banana). I think I’ll avoid this one, heh…
