Picked this one up largely based on my love of all things Harry Potter, the Butterbeer at Wizarding World, and my obsession with dessert teas. I tried it the first time with whole milk and a little sugar, and decided it needed much more sugar to bring out the caramel flavor. 3 sugar packs later, it was the perfect sweetness (which is really odd for me, since I usually use less than a teaspoon, if I use sugar at all). I guess it’s just that I expect Butterbeer to taste sweet, and I couldn’t get much caramel flavor at all without it.
I think I need to play around with steep times to get more of the buttery/caramel-y goodness I’m looking for. It was still very tasty, though, with mostly the cream and vanilla flavors jumping out at me.
