Sekanjabin

[alysten]

Made made my first double batch of sekanjabin, cinnamon, clove and mace. Holy crap this stuff is good. Why didn't anyone tell me this earlier? NOM!

YAY!

That was about my reaction upon first making it, too...and I'm very, very glad you didn't go with the distilled white vinegar ;)

The poudre douce sekanjabin went over well here, today, in seltzer and with hot water...and as a glaze for some hot sausage slices that I decided to do at the last minute as a snack before dinner was done ;)

I did a white tea one as well, using teavana's to life, white tea blend. I know that people get iffy about "tea", but they do not have to drink it.

But it is nommy...

There's some admonition I've seen about not using tea to make sekanjabin, and it sounded like a technical one, but I couldn't find any concrete reason why not to use black/white/green tea... So, while I've not done a tea one yet, I have done 'herbal tea' ones, and those turn out really well. Apple cider vinegar with apple cinnamon 'tea'...really nice.

I'll have to try that white tea one if it's on offer there :)
