I took the opportunity today to really get to know a new-to-me tea: Candy Floss at the Fair!
First trial: Hot (1tsp 100c 4m)
Sweet but not overpowering. Definite candy floss flavour; sugary, hints of bubblegum, perhaps just the tiniest hit of strawberry. Very light and airy. Hibiscus isn’t too pronounced so no sourness to speak of. Loads of sugar stars, which are a cute touch and really fit the vibe. Smells very much like candy floss also, which is very evocative and just adds to the experience. A fun choice for a chilly autumn evening.
Second trial: Iced (2tsp 4.5m in 100ml boiling water, topped up with ice and 100ml cold water)
Very similar flavour profile to the hot brew, just a touch thinner/more watery and perhaps slightly more of a scent than a flavour. Still deliciously sweet with discernible candy floss/spun sugar notes.
Third trial: Cold brewed in whole milk (4tsp 400ml overnight)
This was a good call; cold brewing in milk isn’t something I do too often, but this makes an absolutely delicious flavoured milk. It’s soft, sweet, gentle, and the candy floss notes are lightly fluffy. This would be dreamy as a pre-bedtime cup.
Fourth trial: Cold brewed in lemonade (5tsp overnight)
Not as much of a success as I hoped. I think the flavour of this one is just too delicate to properly stand up to the lemonade, and as a result lemonade is mostly what I can taste, with just a touch of extra fruitiness at the tail end of the sip.
Overall winner: Hot. It comes as a surprise to me to say this, as ordinarily hot is my least favourite way to enjoy a fruit tisane. Here, however, the overall profile is at its best, and the candy floss flavour really shines. The rest of my bag will definitely be used up this way.
