Adagio Advent Calendar – Day 3
So somehow between this calendar and Vahdam, I ended up with double turmeric today! I don’t have a ton of experience with turmeric but I have enjoyed it in a savory content in the past, it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out as a main flavor note…
Hmm, well it’s definitely mostly turmeric here. There’s quite a bit of ginger as well, and the combination of the two is a bit much for me. The ginger is quite sharp and it accentuates the spiciness of the turmeric. Oddly, there’s a sweet cinnamon candy sort of flavoring in this, which doesn’t really seem to mesh that well with the more savory turmeric and ginger.
I added a drizzle of milk and a tiny squeeze of honey to the second half of the cup, and it really did help mellow out the sharp spiciness from the turmeric-ginger combo. There’s a bit of a tingle in my throat, either from the ginger or the black pepper.
Overall, not something I would ever order as it’s just not to my taste. I’m not a big chai person anyway and this one is a bit over-the-top with the turmeric and ginger one-two punch!
