drank Rum Butter by Market Spice
2891 tasting notes

K S, you can have the last laugh. I set my neck on fire while using an ear candle. Little scorched hair and a sore patch under my ear. (Chuckle not, lest ye be chuckled at.)

While I am swallowing my pride and dignity, I’m also swallowing a small cup of a new discovery at my current favorite local by-the-ounce place. $1.39. Who could resist?

The last time I had a butter rum tea (Stash, maybe?) the rummy part was too strong for me to enjoy it much. This is much, much milder; getting plenty of butterscotch-iness and not much rum. With that said, though, I’m thinking this will be a good base for milk and sugar or maybe some maple syrup. At this price, I can afford to experiment a little.

P.S. Our smoke detector works just fine.

OH dear, oh dear! If your ear is hurting, perhaps direct the warm air of a blow dryer gently in! I will try not to giggle, as I once got a hot curling brush stuck in my hair and had to lie on the sofa and await rescue from hubby, who had to dismantle the brush. My bestie went out and bought me a curling iron that day, and I use it still.

Oh, my gosh! Ouch! The tea and the price sound good. Your poor neck, though… Hugs!

K S

Ouch! Though if its like my house you probably confused everyone. The fire alarm sounds and we all head to the table like Pavlov dogs. For the record, I did say an honestly concerned ouch before I chuckled.
