Another visit to Whittard's returns another intriguing tea that I just had to try! :)
I also wasn't aware that such a thing as instant tea existed :o
Brewing
"Spoon three heaped teaspoons (20g) to 200ml water, or according to taste. Serve over ice for a long summer punch, or add hot water, curl up and enjoy as a soothing winter warmer."
Ridonculously easy to brew. It is instant tea! I went for the hot version since it is October (the previous few weeks crazy weather notwithstanding).
Colour
Dark reddish brown.
Aroma
Smells like hot Ribena with a hint of spice. It is a very warming smell - perfect for winter.
Taste
So what does mulled wine taste like without the alcohol? I now have a very good idea - similar to hot Ribena with added spices. There is also a tea after-taste. All-in-all it does taste like mulled wine but it doesn't warm you up in quite the same way as the alcoholic version.
Baking
I tried this tea while baking some cupcakes and making gingerbread :) Pictures will follow on my other blog (which I really need to post more on...).
Conclusion
Warming, lovely. I could drink it all winter long!
