Everyone has heard of the popular Bigelow tea, Constant Comment. To be perfectly honest, bad pun intended, it's not my cup of tea. In fact, if it were the only tea on earth, I simply wouldn't drink tea. My family, however, are all quite enamored with the amber brew and drink it like there's no tomorrow. There's no accounting for palates being passed on, is there?
At any rate, when I was devising muffins for my most recent Family.com post (Morning Muffins) I decided to see if I could come up with a muffin that would taste like the tea my family so adores. These are those muffins.

How clever of you! I thought you were making the muffins using the tea but this is soooo much better. They taste like the tea!
I've never tried this tea, but now you've got me curious, so I'll have to :)
I love Constant Comment tea...but the only time that I drink it is when it is below zero outside and we are in a middle of a snowstorm. I never thin to drink it at any other time besides wicked winter days.
The muffins sound fabulous. :-)
thats my "family" tea... what we all drank when we were sick..back in the day
I was disappointed in the constant comment, the flavor wasn't strong enough for me. But the flavor in these muffins are scrumptious! What did your family think?
sorry I'm with the rest of your gang. I love that tea! Thanks for the muffin recipe... looks like a vacation try! And btw.. thanks for sharing your daughter ;-)
