Advent Calendar – Day 15
Spices! Lots of them. This one is a complete departure from my usual flavor profile but I like it more than I thought I would. I would not sell my soul for a ginger cookie (as opposed to, you know, an eclair, a millefeuille or even chocolate mousse), so I cannot say I love this one, but the combination of cardamon, cinnamon, and licorice (not the licorice candy, but the licorice root like I remember buying and sucking on as a kid ) works very well I think (at least with the stevia). In fact, I found myself reaching back for my cup in spite of my initial hesitancy.
I think this might be a great herbal tea for after a heavy meal. I don’t know that it would help with digestive issues, but it tastes like it would be good for you, and that it would be soothing. It reminds me a bit of the Fasting Tea from Yogi Tea and I bet it would be a great infusion to drink if you were fasting (minus the sweetener so you don’t break your fast). I might have to try this one again when my stomach is unsettled so see if I like it.
