I prefer macarons over macaroons, to the point I have an irrational hatred for macaroons for when people spell macarons like macaroons.
But I do like coconut. A lot.
So this was okay at first without sugar. It smells really nutty. But what I think must be the base tea is giving it this smoky aftertaste. It’s not offputting enough for me to dump the cup, but it just really doesn’t match the sweet cookie thing this tea has going on otherwise. I added milk and sugar and it makes it more tolerable, as does letting it cool off a bit more.
I added way more sugar than I usually do, which makes this tea taste like I’m having dessert for breakfast.
Thanks, JoonSusanna!
