Morrisons Instant Malted Drink

I put in four heaped spoons, but that doesn't seem to be enough as this is a rather wishy washy malted drink. There's not much flavour or character here. It's like a watery warm milk with some faint malt notes and white sugar sweetness. 

Not great. But drinkable.

Pukka Three Cinnamon

 

This is a pleasant tea. Soft, gentle spicy sweet/savoury cinnamon flavour. It's likeable, though not as heavenly as the average Pukka.  It's good with biscuits, or as an accompaniment with curries, and also works well with fish & chips.

Clipper Cleanse With Benefits Citrus, Nettle & Fennel

 

We love this, which is as far as I can recall our first experience of the Clipper brand. Cleanse With Benefits is a herb blend - the ingredients are Nettle (46%), fennel seed (40%), birch, natural lemon flavouring (5%), lemon peel (2%), natural lime flavouring (2%); with all ingredients organic, apart from the lime flavouring.  I have to say that while I am absolutely in favour of organic products, I am not in favour of the Organic labelling, as that involves paying an organisation to come and inspect your soil, etc, which in the UK can be several hundreds of pounds for even a small producer. 

This tea is crisp and refreshing, hot or cold, with an upfront bright citric feel which is then enriched with a sweet licorice note from the fennel, along with nips of aniseed. It remains bright even cold the next day in the cup or teapot. A very satisfying and beautiful drink.  Brilliant. £2.50 for 20 bags from Tesco.  Excellent value for money.

Horlicks Chocolate

 

Horlicks is malty goodness. This is Horlicks with chocolate flavouring. Just as nice, but with the twist of chocolate. Very sweet, but so yummy! I'm not sure which I prefer - straight Horlicks or chocolate flavoured Horlicks. I think there's room for both, and it's nice to have a little twist for a change, though on the whole I prefer my Horlicks straight, and my hot chocolate straight. 

This is cool because it's instant. Just add hot water and stir.
