I had about 1.5 tsps left of this from the sample Roswell Strange sent me so I decided I would polish it off (sipdown!) and hopefully have a tasty treat as well. I made this in my 16 oz timolino so in order to avoid underleafing, I threw in about 1/2 a tsp of DAVIDs Toasted Marshmallow (the only other s’mores type tea I had) that came to me by way of Janelle’s stash sale. I steeped the tea for a mere two minutes just below boiling in hopes of bringing out the marshmallow-y flavors. Unfortunately, all I got in my first sip was a pretty mediocre black tea.
I ended up letting this cup sit for a bit while I decided to try baking with Truvia. My roommate and I made a Coconut flour apple banana loaf this week – no tea though since we were already experimenting with the truvia and only had about 2 tbsps of oil to work with.
I got caught up in the baking and so it was not until the loaf got thrown into the oven that I took another sip and by that time this tea had cooled to about room temperature. Apparently that is the key to this mixture though. At room temperature, this tea became a liquefied s’more as opposed to the liquid bore it was when hot (sorry, I could not resist that horrid joke). Not only was this marshmallow-y sweet but there was even a bit of the delicious caramelized marshmallow flavor you get from roasting s’mores. The cinnamon from the Toasted Marshmallow, overpowering when you drink Toasted Marshmallow alone, shined through just enough to taste like the perfect graham cracker accompaniment to the amazing roasted marshmallow. And there was a nice hint of milk chocolate to round out the flavors. It certainly made for a delicious treat and showed me a good way to use the Toasted Marshmallow – now I just need to pick up a little bit more s’mores. Good thing there is a Della Terra sale coming up :). Thank you Roswell Strange for sharing this with me!! And thank you Janelle for sending some Toasted Marshmallow my way!

That’s funny that you had S’more like teas from both Janelle and I and ended up using them together since we both live in the same town :P
Really? They were meant to be had together :P
Yup. Actually, I’m buying tea from Janelle too and right now we’re trying to work out a time between both of our crazy schedules to actually meet up in person to do it. You know, save on shipping a little and such :P Plus it’s just kinda neat meeting someone on Steepster in person. Lala lives a town away (the town I moved from, actually) so who knows – maybe someday I’ll meet her in person too.
Aww that is so nice. Cavocorax lives maybe 10 minutes away from my childhood home back in Thornhill. When I got her package, the first half of her postal code is the same as my homes so it was definitely weird getting a package with that area code that was not from my mom.
It’s funny how we’re all connected! When I was in Vancouver I was about a 10 minute bus ride from where OMGSrsly works.
Also, I’m jealous that you got your package from Janelle! I don’t even know if mine shipped yet! :O I was hoping to get it before Black Friday so I could sample more Della Terra, but, it’s not a big deal.
I’m hoping Janelle messages me back sometime tomorrow: our plan was to meet up Wednesday and a whole bunch of what I was getting from her was sample sizes of Della Terra teas I might want to order as part of their sale. But I haven’t heard back from her in a few days :( Feels like I just moved here though (almost 3 months ago now, though) and I remember how crazy busy I was with moving, so I get that she’s pretty preoccupied atm.
