Another tin emptied. This is the second steep actually, and since I’m feeling a little cranky and non-social at present, my brain decided that sweets were needed. Which then led to the thought that this might be quite nice with a little liquid honey in it. Make it sort of a lemon curd flavoured tea instead.
Alas, we have no liquid honey, or any other sorts of honey in the house. Instead of then using a little cane sugar like a normal person, Muggins here decided to give maple syrup a try instead.
Well, Muggins here should not be allowed to start inventing while preparing tea. It’s not working. Not one bit. Oh it’s perfectly drinkable, but the lemon flavour is completely broken and the whole thing has turned into something fairly generic and boring tasting.
Who could have thought one teaspoon of maple syrup could have such a large effect?
Even worse, it has made me want pancakes. Maybe I’ll get some batter mix one of these days and see if the boyfriend wants to share with me. We are on holiday, after all.

oh what a shame! and for the last of it as well…
Maple syrup? I never would have thought of that. I might have to try some of it in my English Breakfast to mix it up a bit. Shame it didn’t work like you wanted to though.
want my recipie for chai pancakes or gingerbread pancakes? no ‘batter mix’ needed..just flour, sugar, milk, eggs, spices, salt, baking powder/soda, butter…and then maybe grace it with a little tea syrup? sounds like midnight vacation pancakes to me :)
