I’ve been working crazy long hours at Tea Drunk lately so needless to say I was beyond happy that I actually managed to get home early one night. While getting to sleep early would have been the smart option, I just couldn’t bring myself to settle down just yet. The house was quiet and everyone else was asleep so there was nothing else do but make some tea. This is also the time of night that my sweet tooth rears its ugly head. Thankfully I remembered that I had some Rip van Wafels waiting to be enjoyed.
These ingenious cookies are designed to be warmed on top of your tea cup, melting the filling and making them even more indulgent. Why didn’t I think of that? Remembering that Tealet had done a gift pack with them a while back, I followed their lead and paired the caramel-filled treat with Doke Rolling Thunder. They were a match made in heaven! The sweet, fruity notes in the tea went perfectly with the gooey caramel. It’s amazing how much of a pick me up something like this can be but one little cookie really did make my night.
I still have two chocolate-filled waffles left to devour. What kind of tea do you think will go well with them? I’m thinking Dian Hong or maybe even a strawberry and chocolate flavored puerh.
