Golden syrup tea?

H2Andy · May 31st, 2009, 12:04 AM

hey all ... sorry to post a non-dive related question, but can't think where else to put it

a friend of mine bought some "Golden Syrup" tea which she says is from New Zealand, but has not been able to find it since

do any of you recognize the name? anywhere on line that it can be bought?

thanks in advance

and

All Blacks rule

Oooo .. and to think I used to think you were discerning

Never heard of Golden Syrup Tea ... but you used to be able to buy tins of Golden Syrup ... it was like treacle, haven't seen it for years, but then again I havent really looked for it!

I am interested to see the result of your question about the tea.

Never heard of golden syrup tea.
Golden syrup is pretty common though. Its a sugar product.

I agree with Packhorse - never heard of it - I can imagine people drinking golden syrup diluted with boiling water and calling it golden syrup 'tea' but never seen a product of that name.

I agree never heard of it as a commercially available tea, but have had it in hot water and it's a regular feature of my morning porridge!
Golden syrup..

And it's bigger bolder cousin.. (The Laphroaig of the sugar world)

Makes getting up in the morning worthwhile!

I'm wondering whether "golden syrup tea" is some form of euphamism along the lines of "gum boot tea"?

Gum boot tea is (I think!) where you let the bag stew for far too long and it turns into a thick cuppa, strong enough to stand a spoon up in.

Maybe golden syrup tea has so much sugar in it that it's like golden syrup????

I might be clutching at straws here, mind you...
