Oh, Firefly. How could I possibly design a tea for you that wasn’t based off mudder’s milk? It’s the most iconic beverage in the show!
Described as “all the protein, vitamins, and carbs of your grandma’s best turkey dinner, plus 15 percent alcohol,” mudder’s milk is a pretty tough beverage to replicate in tea form. I knew I wanted it to be something you could add milk to (so that it would have a little substance). I also knew that, in place of alcohol, I wanted to add spice to give it some kick. I created a Masala chai/vanilla/cinnamon mix that goes great with milk, and I added cardamon to amp up the spice just a teeny bit. Let’s have a toast to the Hero of Canton!

Mudder’s Milk Tea

This Firefly tea combines classic Masala chai with vanilla and cinnamon for a cozy, spiced cup with just the right balance of flavors. You can just detect a hint of cardamon and ginger, and the other spices are strong but not overpowering. It’s seriously my new favorite way to use Masala chai as a base tea. Add some milk and honey, and you’ve got yourself a brew fit for the Hero of Canton!

Me too! I think it’s one of Adagio’s most versatile teas. I use it all the time in blends.
