The instructions actually call for sweetener and milk or milk substitute! I fail to follow directions apparently.

I was expecting a stronger flavor, but this is a very nice spiced chocolate tea (tisane). It is very tempting to make this with some black tea and honey though so it's a bolder body.

This was a gift from a co-worker who heard me and my mad science experiment with the milky way packet and coconut chai earlier.

Rating: 3/4 leaves
