This tea is RIDICULOUS with its pieces of cinnamon stick and whole cardamom pods.

Delicious, though.

I steeped it in a preheated mug, with boiling water… then added sweetened condensed milk.

Mmm. Comfort tea at its finest.

i’ve been reading more and more about sweetened condensed milk. hmmm.

OMGsrsly

Yeah. I buy a container then put it into a sanitized canning jar. Keeps for a month in the fridge, makes teas sweet and oh so milky. It works really well in some applications, not so great in others – all depends on your tastes! :)

not so great with hibiscus drinks? green tea? lol.

I tried it with Canadian Maple Seduction, and it was just too much. It’s SO good in iced black teas. I don’t usually put milk in hibiscus drinks, so I’m not sure about that… and I bet if you found the right green tea it would be awesome!

I’ve never used condensed milk in tea- only in baking. I’m curious now about using it for that. I feel experiments coming on! :-)

OMGsrsly

It’s good when making Hong Kong style milk teas, but really the sky is the limit! Now that I have a new jar in my fridge I’m going to be adding it to everything… :)

I used it in Oh Canada iced over the summer. OMG was that good. The only trouble is that the scm is terribly messy, so I find it hard to work with. I’d love to squeeze it out of a container like honey.

I put it into a canning jar, but if I had a squeezy thing like a restaurant ketchup bottle, I totally would have used that.

You’d have to make sure the opening was large enough for it to come out of though, since it is so thick.
