This is the ultimate comfort tea for me as it reminds me so much of my childhood. When I was a girl (about a hundred years ago) at primary school, we used to be served bowls of fruit or vanilla cake with hot custard for lunchtime pudding and it was by far my favourite time of day. This tea tastes almost exactly like the “cake ‘n’ custard” of my school days and I can’t get enough of it!
I find I need to double the amount of dry tea that the package instructions recommend (otherwise it can taste a bit watery, not matter how long you steep it for,) and that a tiny drizzle of honey is just enough to really amplify the sweet flavours in the tea. As a bonus, it really makes the kitchen smell amazing when it’s brewing. Tip: Use the finest mesh infuser you have for this one – it’s bitty.
