Amaretto indeed! This tastes like almond extract! I should use the liquid to make pancakes or something. I feel it would be better in baked goods than on its own. It’s a bit thin, yet intense at the same time. This may be better with some added chocolate. But who am I kidding? Everything is better with chocolate. I like this ok, but I can also do without it. Perhaps blending it with some other tea would be good. :)

I have yet to find an almond that does not taste fake! In my opinion only real almonds taste like almond…and nothing else will do. EXTRACTS ARE OUT! You end up with either bitter or a sour overdone blech. They should just give it up.
How do you feel about marzipan? I usually love almond flavor. But this one didn’t work for me too well.
You’re right! In baking I’ve used almond successfully with pastries. U got me there.
well, I wasn’t trying to “get” you, but I’m glad we agree. :)
It’s funny that you say this is better for baking cuz these over sweet tea’s I save to add as flavors to cake or cookie batter or muffins when I just can’t hack drinking it.
Before I was tea obsessed, I was baking and cooking obsessed, so the two interests often go hand in hand for me. Fortunately, this tea obsession won’t make me fat like my interest in cakes and cookies would.
