French toast, cardamom, milk and coffee liqueur are all flavors in this tea and coffee cocktail, but the four-ingredient recipe is much more simple than it is complex.
The Cardamom and Coffee French Toast Cocktail from David's Tea is whipped up from a base of the brand's Cardamom French Toast Tea, as well as water, milk and coffee liqueur. The exotic coffee drink is like a hybrid of coffee and tea that's served warm.
The comfort food-inspired beverage is a clever take on conventional tea-based drinks that speaks to the growing consumer desire for complex flavor profiles that come from recipes and products with simple ingredient lists. Since the tea itself features a range of dried fruit ingredients, this also explains part of the reason tea infusions are becoming so popular.
