Emma (aka Socks aka Amp5) from the Amplifier Series has a bit of a thing for ginger snaps and tea.
The ginger snap obsession comes from her first Christmas party (see The Amplifier Protocol) and she has two go-to recipes: hand-rolled and sliced. I’ve also added the
Emma’s tea obsession comes from her third obsession, Downton Abbey. A TV show that the amplifier relates to because of, among other things, the stricter structure of society it portrays, specifically the rules of relationships. Emma likes rules. She doesn’t necessarily follow them, but she likes to understand that they exist, including the ritual of ‘afternoon’ tea.
If you want to sip tea (etc) while you read the Amplifier books here are the types Emma drinks/serves in the books (I’ll try to keep this list updated). There are some repeats, for example, Emma defaults to the Iced Tea Fruit Blend when making … you guessed it … iced tea.
Close to Home (Amplifier 0.5): Tea:
Demons and DNA (Amplifier 1): Tea:
Bonds and Broken Dreams (Amplifier 2): Tea:
Mystics and Mental Blocks (Amplifier 3): Tea:
Idols and Enemies (Amplifier 4): Tea:
Instincts and Impostors (Amplifier 5): Tea:
FYI – all the tea links lead to the Granville Island Tea Company because that is where I buy my tea. But this post is not sponsored in any way, nor are the books. I’m simply having fun with Emma’s obsessive tendencies aka ‘doing research’.
Look forward to the recipes and the book
Yay!
I love tea!!!! I’m going to have to get some of these!! Especially the fruit and the Darjeeling!!
Fun!
I’m so glad that the recipes will continue and I love the idea of learning about different types of tea. Mostly, i just love reading the things you write.
I can’t guarantee that the recipes will continue. But there will be one more at least.
Hi just wondering how we can get the adept universe cookbook? Thank you!
Hi! The cookbook is available as a free download when you subscribe to my mailing list. See the link in this blog post, or on the right hand side of the blog, or in the back of any of the Dowser books. 😊
You can download it in Ebook form from the blog.
Happy Easter! Mmm, now I want Gingersnaps. I will have to console myself with the Lemon Bars I am making for today’s dessert 😁
Mmm, lemon bars!!
I love tea – I’m definitely going to have to get some of that iced tea fruit blend!! thanks for the links!!
It’s really good!
I’ve previously subscribed but I’d love to have the updated cookbook. I love tea and gingersnaps although I think I would get tired of them, unlike Emma! Love this new series! My favorite books are actually the I See trio, but I love them all.
I send out the link to the updated cookbook with every newsletter so you should have gotten a new link last Tuesday when I released Amplifier 2. 😊
Glad you are enjoying the books!
Where’s the good old fashioned mug of British builder’s tea. Strong enough to stand the spoon up in, a generous splosh of milk and three sugars. Delicious!
