And then I took a drink - - - and it tastes like garlic dill pickles! Can you imagine?
Chai tea + milk + brown sugar = extreme garlic pickle taste!
Apparently the jar I used was one from dill pickles and now the milk tastes like them too. And these pickles were made with an extra, extra large clove of garlic fresh picked in BC in late August. There's no hope for the milk that's in there. Too bad I don't have any chickens - they'd be having a lovely late day snack of grain soaked in pickle milk!! Lesson learned: smell the jar before pouring anything into it.
I started over with a new batch of milk - and am quite enjoying my tea now :)
Oh no! I've done the same thing with a batch of yogurt and I did not want to throw it out so every morning for a couple weeks my breakfast tasted like pickles. Blech!
ReplyDeleteAt least you got a pretty picture!
Yuk. Not good! You could have used it for soup, I suppose!
ReplyDeletelol. That's terrible. I've had similar experiences. I've found that it's not actually the jar itself that has the odour, but the lid and rubber. If I put some plastic wrap between the lid and the jar and then close it there's no odour taste to the contents. Something to try.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you got to start over and get in that delicious cup of tea.
Oh dear! I couldn't help but laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteI always *think* about making proper chai tea, but never actually do it. Maybe today I'll be more inspired!
