This is warm and comforting and I just can't believe that I forgot to drop the cinnamon stick in! I trimmed back on the brandy. I used Tetley's regular but I think that Darjeeling would be a treat in this. It was very welcome on a this gray, wet afternoon. I did add some Splenda as the apple juice wasn't quite enough with the strong tea. Although the directions want the juice made into a syrup, I opted to use just the juice because concentrating it would also concentrate the sugar and make it impossible for me to try this. I'm sure that it would be even better with the intensity of the apple syrup.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
