TIM TAMS

>>8594764
I'm always down for a Tim Tam slam

>>8594764
I like them by themselves but I feel like they taste too much like candy to have with tea

>>8594792
m8 you gotta do the slam

>>8594764
>>8594795
These are dope and Tim tam slams are great and all
But they aren't as comfy as maple cream cookies or shortbread
Slam be damned

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?

>>8595080
You don't sense your body functioning like a normal human being's. That is a sign of cancer, better get it checked out

>>8594950
If that is enough to depress you, you may as well drop all packaged foods

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

>>8597261

>putting sugar in your tea at all
>putting fucking maple syrup in your tea

Canada pls.

>>8595231
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.
