When I opened the package, I was almost overwhelmed with the smell of rum. That’s pretty much all I got from the tea. (Edit: Apparently it’s bourbon and brandy flavours. Well. Booze then. It smells like booze.)
So I decided to mix it with a little marshmallow leaf. And it’s really good this way, although I don’t notice any cinnamon or nutmeg flavours at all. Just rum booze, sweet marshmallow leaf, honeybush.
I think this will need to marinate a bit longer to reach full potential. Either that, or I need to shake up my package better.
(1.5 tsp honeybush, 1/2 tsp marshmallow leaf)
I’ve also mixed up some of the honeybush and marshmallow leaf in a small tin, as an experiment. Same ratio. :)

I can’t say I’ve ever had a boozey tasting tea.
Yeah, booze tasting tea is new to me too. I mean, I’ve made a blend to evoke the flavours of gin and tonic, but, like, the botanicals, not the alcohol. This intrigues me and I can’t decide if I think it would be good! :p
It’s easy to do yourself! Just get some good quality, alcohol based baking flavouring. Dr Oetker does rum and brandy I think. Add a drop to a big mug of tea (or the leaves before steeping) and ta daa! ;)
I may have done this before. It actually works well. I also have some oil based Dr Oetker flavours that work even better with tea.
Or you could just add a slug of brandy to your tea. Though maybe not for breakfast. I’m not an animal.
:D Sometimes I do… (and yes, it’s been known to happen at breakfast.)
Booze & Breakfast- That’s what Bailey’s is for, am I right? lol
Hot Toddy’s when sick. :) O’Connor’s Cream (I know) tea goes well with whisky!
Wonder what would happen if I added Advocaat to a chai latte?
If you like advokaat, I would imagine it would be delicious. :) It’s kinda like liquid, alcoholic custard, right?
