AJRimmer Advent Day 23
I have no idea what mince pie is, but like AJR (I hope your ice cream turned out well), I am also a fan of dessert teas. I hear mince and I think of mince meat. Or is it minced meat? Either way, I’m glad there is a desserty meat free version. I steeped this cup, walked away from it for family zoom yoga that my cousin leads and when I came back my cup was cold. My cousin’s family class runs long. I microwaved my cup to bring it back up to temp, but it seems different than when it was freshly steeped. I don’t know if it is all in my head or a real phenomenon of teas and microwaves. It tasted dull, so I added a touch of sugar. It smells almondy with cinnamon. There is a slight bitter taste in the sip, but it’s not prominent. I feel like there is a dried fruit aspect to this. Too late to tell now, because I finished my cup! Now I’m curious what a mince pie tastes like.

Mince pie is just a pie with mincemeat, very common in the UK. And mincemeat doesn’t generally have meat these days, it’s just apple, dried fruit, and spices. Some recipes do call for lard or suet though.
Mince meat tarts or pie is one of my favourites. I grew up eating this all the time. :)
I’d love to try one.
I had no idea what suet was until looking up mince pie recipes!
Yeah, it’s not really a thing here in the States. I mostly know about it from British Bake Off… XD
