What cookies/biscuits/cake pairs best with tea?
Im out of cake rusks and I want something new. With tea cookies prefer something crunchy/crispy nothing soft. And big and sorta thick I shouldn't need more than 3 with a cup. I've never had cake or crumpets with tea tho and I'm willing to try that.

I baked some today, actually
Would it be a bad idea to rip open some tea bags and put the tea in cookies
I don't have Earl grey so it's just plain black tea
Can I put loose black tea and cardamom in cookie dough?
>>8594853
Cut open a bag right now and chew on it.
Does it taste any good? No? Of course it fucking doesn't.
Brew up a strong tea concentrate and use it as a flavouring in whatever you're baking, like how you use espresso to flavour a coffee cake.
>>8594862
But people do.that with Earl grey cookies
And loose Earl grey tastes bad but the cookies are good
>>8594912
Earl Grey is saturated with bergamot oil which seeps into the baking.
You'd get the same effect with a few drops of essence of bergamot.
make your own. Of course, that kinda ruins the fun. Seeing all the butter and sugar that goes into that stuff is depressing.
>>8594950
Nothing wrong with butter and if you substitute with splenda they're only as bad for you as the flour you use is
>>8594991
Splenda is disgusting.
The only sugar substitute that doesn't taste like complete ass is xylitol, and that one gives you the shits.
>>8595015
eh it's not that bad, it tastes way better than stevia or aspartame if you get the syrup form
and a slightly worse taste in return for not feeling like complete shit all the time due to blood sugar spikes is worth it
>>8595030
I am neither a hypochondriac nor a diabetic so "blood sugar spikes" are not a concern.
>>8595035
So you don't suffer from sugar crashes like everyone else? Weird.

But anon, that's a penguin.
Anyway, KitKat chunky is the superior chocolate bar with tea (especially the peanut butter version)
>>8595039
Is it weird to not have the constitution of a malnourished preteen?
Ginger nuts or bust.
>>8594646
Idk man I don't really regularly have biscuits or anything with tea/coffee.
Stop being a poof and just drink it.
>>8595039
How many cookies do you eat?
>>8595231
Get out

Maple cream cookies are goat
Especially if you use maple syrup instead of sugar to sweeten your tea

>putting sugar in your tea at all
>putting fucking maple syrup in your tea
Canada pls.

It's actually a sign of autism. Autists have impaired growth of the anterior insula's Von Economo neurons, which impair physical self-perception.
Bourbon
Digestives of all kinds (dipped in some chocolate)
Source: worked near some Brits on a large natto base.
That's for black tea, or chai. Last night I had a floral scented green tea and green rooibos, (paired with devil's lettuce)
This shit right here
>>8594646
You don't want to have cookies, the chocolate chips will melt into the tea and ruin the flavour.
Why the fuck has no-one mentioned these before now?
Explain yourself /ck/!
Gingernuts are unironically the only answer.
>>8598031
There are types of cookies that don't have chocolate chips in them.
Several, even.
>>8598031
I feel so sorry that you didn't know there's more than one type of cookie. Bless your heart.
>>8597261
I actually dislike maple syrup in tea: it gives this weird sensation on the tongue and the teeth, and I find you have to use a lot of it to give a distinctive maple flavour. Maple -sugar- might be the way to go.
>>8598130
I used to eat these with tea all the time when I was a kid.
>>8594646
BEEP BEEP FUCKERS
>>8594646
I've said it before and I'll say it again. These with strong black tea are excellent.
What's a low calorie option for a tea biscuit?
>>8597250
This guy gets it. Weak ass biscuits that go soggy and disintegrate after their first dunk need not apply.
>>8599355
Something thin with not too much butter or sugar. You might want to go without, honestly if you're counting calories.
I wanna try something unsweetened and kind of salty with my tea
Any suggestions?
>>8597488
the best.
having a strong black tea with fresh squeeze lime
any suggestions lads?
as a note I really don't like sweet stuff
>>8600211
Scotch fingers taste so good paired with tea.
>>8598178
No, there are not. You mean there are types of biscuits that don't use chocolate chips. Cookies by definition have chocolate chips.
I knew that there would be retarded clappyfats who would post your nonsense when I hit "post".
>>8599388
A savoury scone perhaps? Or those little triangle sandwiches with Marmite in them.
