Advent sample. My first mistake was steeping this at work, where I couldn’t give it good attention. I definitely got a candy apple “shape” with it , but it turned out awfully bitter. (Shape—you know, the way you hold your mouth when you taste a certain food.) Added a little rock sugar, which helped, but sometimes you can’t undo the damage. Wish I could give it a second go at home, with better water and a little milk nearby. In that case, I’m thinking it would have been very creamy and tasty.
