Dogadan Apple Fruit Infusion

 

Bought from a local Turkish shop. We like apple tea, and find it mostly in Turkish or Polish shops. This contains 60% apple, hibiscus,  cinnamon, rose hip, stevia leaf, and "flavouring". It is an attractive blend, with mild apple flavour, a hint of licorice and cinnamon, the faintest tartness, and a gentle fresh sweetness. It makes for a pleasant and inoffensive drink, though does lack impact and character.

Sainsbury's Instant Hot Chocolate

 

Milky hot chocolate. Could do with more chocolate and more oomph and perhaps a twist of character. But easy drinking and reasonably comforting if a little wimpy. 

We just tried it with twice the amount of powder they suggest (ten spoons instead of five) and some oat milk, and it was pleasantly tasty. But, of course, there are other instants which are cheaper and which make better hot chocolate using less powder.
