Doncha just love it when you can consider tea as “mediciine”???
I developed a headache earlier and was almost(but not really!) glad for the opportunity to have tea with a purpose. Seriously! Caffeine + tylenol = remedy nods
Anyhow. I decided I wanted to have this iced, with milk and a bit of honey. At first I was kinda regretting it. The flavours weren’t really working for me somehow. But after awhile things seemed to gel and I really enjoyed it! I was definitely sad when the giant mug was empty. So yeah, if you wanna try this baby cold, let it sit for awhile first :)
I guess I’ll have to write a proper review with tasting notes another time. But if I recall correctly, this is pretty mild, malty, and just a hint bready when hot.

Glad it worked for you! The only thing I find about having teas for colds or other specific purposes is that I’m trying to decrease my cupboard number and I literally have 1 bag left of one tea that’s just waiting to get used up (that one being “coat throat”). Another tea is supposed to be an aphrodisiac and there’s maybe 2tbsps left, another a nighttime tea and there’s 3 bags. So frustrating lol.
I know what you mean. I have a few that I keep and rarely have for that reason. The nice thing about this remedy though is that where the stimulant caffeine comes from doesn’t matter, as long as it gets delivered! :)
I do the same thing for headaches…I always go for a straight black. I mean, you CAN buy tylenol that already has caffeine in it, but it doesn’t taste as nice as tylenol with tea. :P
Hehehe totally agreed on that Plunkybug! plus it can get expensive buying so many different meds. I already spend enough on my tea :D
My “medicine cabinet” is primarily peppermint, tulsi, and raspberry leaf, but sometimes plain ol’ straight up no-nonsense black does the trick!
gmathis, right there with you! I need to bring out my cammomile more often now that my sleep is more regulated and I don’t need to worry so much about saving it for days I need it!
