Sipdown!! (167)
Confession time!! I do not like eggnog. I only ever had it once because some guy randomly hitting on a friend in a residence cafeteria tried convincing her that eggnog was so amazing she had to go up to his room to try some right away. She did not but obviously we were all very curious as to what this “gift from the gods” tasted like and so we walked over to the grocery store and picked up a carton. We all tried a little and the rest got poured out because we hated it. That was my experience with eggnog and it was not pleasant. Consequently, this tea didn’t really appeal to me (especially since Stacy tends to nail her flavors and I feared it would actually taste like eggnog). With that said, so many reviews compared this to vanilla ice cream and other tasty treats that I (1) started to become interested in this tea and (2) I started to question if the eggnog I tried was not a very good representation of what eggnog is meant to taste like. Luckily, Roswell Strange was kind enough to send me a sample to try and as fast as it arrive, it left. I am pleased to say that I am actually enjoying this cup. It is creamy and sweet and tastes a bit like vanilla bean ice cream with a dash of eggyness. However, the flavor was more subtle than I anticipated and I found myself wanting it to be more dominant and in-your-face, rather than timidly hiding in the cup. All in all, not bad and so I am happy that I was able to try it out. Thank you Roswell Strange!!Preparation

Apparently Steepster will not listen to my formatting and insists on making this post one giant paragraph instead of several smaller ones.
If it’s the custard you’re not a fan of, you can do a steamed milk (or microwaved!) with a grating of fresh nutmeg, a drop of vanilla, and some sugar. Maybe a dollop of dark rum or other alcohol as well. :)
