Day 18 of the Plum Deluxe herbal advent calendar. This is good but it has to be brewed just so. I oversteeped the first cup and the woodiness of the rooibos drowned out the flavoring. I was much more careful the second time and stuck to a five-minute steep time. That did the trick. The ginger is not super strong but it does have a noticeable bite at the end. The pear is lightly sweet and juicy. Tasty hot, but even better when allowed to get cold. So for optimal enjoyment, a five minute steep and let it get cold.
