Alright, let’s yak about this black tea stuff, the kind they call “concentrate.” I ain’t no fancy pants expert, but I know a thing or two about what tastes good and what’s just plain hogwash.

Now, this concentrate, it’s like they took a whole bunch of tea and squeezed the bejesus out of it. Makes it real strong, you see? Like when you boil down them berries for jam, gets thick and flavorful. Same kinda deal with this tea. It’s powerful stuff, I tell ya. One little drop and you got yourself a whole heap of tea taste.

I first saw this stuff at the store, looked kinda odd in that little bottle. Figured it was some newfangled city thing, but then my niece, she’s a smart one, she told me it’s just strong tea. Saves you time, she says. No more messing around with tea bags, just a spoonful of this and you’re good to go. Well, I thought, “that sounds right up my alley”, cause I ain’t got time to dilly-dally.

• First off, it’s real easy to make. You just dump some in hot water. Boom, tea’s ready.
• Second, you don’t need a whole lot. A little goes a long way, so that bottle lasts a good while.
• Third, it tastes mighty fine. Strong and bold, just how I like it.

Now, you can drink it hot, of course. But I like to mix it up sometimes. My niece, she showed me how to make iced tea with it. Just stir some concentrate into cold water, add a bit of sugar, maybe some lemon if you’re feelin’ fancy. Boy, is that good on a hot day! Beats all them sugary sodas the kids are drinkin’ these days. This is real tea, you know? Good for your insides, I reckon.

But you gotta be careful with this stuff, it’s strong, I ain’t kidding! Don’t go pouring it in like you would with regular tea. You’ll end up with somethin’ bitter enough to curl your toes. Start with a little bit, then add more till it tastes just right. That’s what I do anyways.

I even heard tell that you can use this concentrate stuff for bakin’. Put it in cakes or cookies to give ’em a little extra flavor. Haven’t tried that yet, but it sounds mighty interestin’. Maybe I’ll whip up a batch of black tea cookies for the church social next week. That’ll get them tongues waggin’!

And get this, my niece says you can use it for cocktails too! Says it’s great with some rum or whiskey. Now, I ain’t much of a drinker myself, but it sounds like somethin’ the younger folks might enjoy. Maybe I’ll tell my grandson about it, see if he wants to try it out. Just tell ‘em to drink responsibly mind you.

I also found you can use this here tea stuff to make milk tea. Just warm up some milk, add the concentrate, sweeten it up with a little honey or sugar. Oh, it’s so good and comforting on a cold night. Reminds me of when I was a girl and my grandma used to make me warm milk with honey before bed. This black tea version is a nice twist on that, you know?

Anyways, if you’re lookin’ for a quick and easy way to get your tea fix, this black tea concentrate is the ticket. It’s strong, it’s tasty, and it lasts a good long time. Just remember to start with a little and add more till it suits your taste. And don’t be afraid to experiment with it! You might be surprised at all the different things you can do with this stuff. I know I was.

So there you have it, my two cents on this black tea concentrate. It ain’t rocket science, just good ol’ tea, made strong and convenient. Now go on and try it for yourself. You might just like it.
