🥛甘すぎる？TEARTH はちみつ紅茶はミルクティーにすると絶妙

☕ ホテルで飲んで気に入った「はちみつ紅茶」先日、滞在したホテルの部屋に置いてあった紅茶。何気なく飲んでみたところ、「これ、かなり美味しいな」と思って商品名を確認したのが、TEARTH（ティーアース）の「はちみつ紅茶」でした。TEARTH はちみつ紅茶 3箱 (1箱2g×25包) ギフトティーアースティーバッグはちみつ紅茶ティータイムアイスティーホテルや旅行先で気に入ったものを、自宅でも使ってみたくなることがありますが、今回はまさにそれ。帰ってからも飲みたくなり、自宅用に購入しました。🍯 想像していた以上に甘い！実際に飲んでみて一番印象に残るのは、やっぱり「甘さ」。普通の紅茶に、ほんのりはちみつの香りがする程度かな？と思っていましたが、かなりしっかり甘いです。砂糖を追加する必要はまったくありません。甘い紅茶が好きな人なら、そのまま飲んでも十分楽しめます。反対に、普段ブラックコーヒーやストレートティーを飲む人だと、「ちょっと甘すぎるかも？」と感じる可能性はあります。🥛 個人的には牛乳割りが一番好きそこで試してみたのが牛乳。これがかなり相性が良かったです。はちみつ紅茶を少し濃いめに作って、牛乳を加えるだけ。そのままだと強く感じる甘さが牛乳でちょうどよく抑えられて、まろやかなミルクティーになります。個人的にはストレートで飲むよりも、この飲み方のほうが好み。疲れて帰ってきた日の夜や、休日にちょっと甘いものが欲しくなったときにもよく合います。☕ ホテルの一杯から自宅の定番へ旅行先のホテルでたまたま飲まなければ、おそらく自分では選んでいなかった「はちみつ紅茶」。こういう偶然の出会いがあるのも旅行の面白いところです。最初に飲んだときの印象は、とにかく「甘い」。でも牛乳で割ってみると、その甘さがむしろ長所になりました。甘い紅茶が好きな人はもちろん、「普通の紅茶とは少し違うものを飲みたい」「簡単に甘いミルクティーを作りたい」という人にもおすすめです。3箱セットなら自宅にストックしておきやすく、ちょっとしたティータイムにも使いやすいですね。ホテルで出会った一杯でしたが、今では自宅でも楽しみたい紅茶のひとつになりました。#はちみつ紅茶 #TEARTH #ティーアース #紅茶 #ミルクティー #ティータイム #おうちカフェ #楽天市場 #楽天購入品 #おすすめ紅茶
