Sunday, 7 October 2007Masala Chai TabletI resisted.'No,' I said. 'It'll never work and, even if it does, no one will like it. People don't want tablet that tastes like tea.' I can be very dense sometimes. People love tea. People love tablet. Luckily, my favourite and most trusted taste-tester persisted. 'Make chai-flavoured tablet,' she said. 'Go on. Make it.' A week went by. 'Are you going to make that chai tablet, then?' Another few weeks passed. 'Have you made it yet?' Finally, I gave in. I made the chai tablet, and it was good. It was better than good. It was great. Never let it be said I don't know when to admit I was wrong. This is one of those experiments that really defies expectation. You have the tried-and-tested Fablet Scottish butter tablet recipe as a base, topped off with notes of cardamom, cinnamon and tea. It's a fresh, warm but zesty mix of flavours and it works. It's so good I've added it to the range as this month's Flavour of the Month - and with its entirely unexpected mix of flavours and ingredients, I think you'll appreciate the resolve it took not to simply call it Teablet. Almost as much resolve, in fact, as it's taken not to just scoff the lot myself. This stuff is dangerously tasty. Try some. Taster Number One commands it, and she is rarely wrong about anything. 0 Comments: |
