I am not a big fan of nutmeg. When I first opened the tin I got a huge wiff of that sickeningly sweet smell. Trying my best to optimiscally pin point the source, I said to myself “oh it’s cardamon”. Upon another sniff, I reluctantly discovered “nooooo it’s nutmeg” Being open minded, I brewed a pot anyway. When brewed, it smelled much better. I was pleasantly surprised all the flavors blended together well included the dreaded nutmeg.
The unsteeped mixture looked like an east frisian. Small crumbled black leaves with bits of ginger and spice mixed up. The liquor brewed up dark and “mud like”. (Which I like in a chai) The flavored melded together very well. I could taste all the flavor notes.
I added sweetened condense milk and a few drops of vanilla extract after tasting.
