Information:
Pecan Pie is a rich custard pie made with fresh Pecans and sweet corn
syrup. In a word it is magnificent. Or should we say
magnifique? New Orleans legend has it that Pecan pie was created by the
French shortly after settling in the New World.
Apparently, the settlers were introduced to the nuts by the early
Native American inhabitants of Louisiana. The story
unfortunately, although very romantic and told often by the inhabitants
of the Big Easy, has a few holes. For one, food
historians have been unable to track down a recipe for Pecan Pie older
than 1925. For two, corn syrup, considered an essential
component of the traditional recipe, was not developed until the 1880’s
– and the French arrived more than 100 years before
that! One thing is known for certain – Pecan Pie is a sweet nutty treat
that over the years has become a staple of Southern
cuisine.
Although no one has concocted any legends about the origin of Pecan Pie
Rooibos tea, we’re still certain this blend will get
people talking. The mellow character of caffeine free Rooibos,
Aspalathus Linearis, provides a stunning herbal base for the
mélange of fresh nutty pecan flavor and sweet caramel, topped off with
a hint of cream. Wonderful as an after dinner treat, this
tea is like having Pecan Pie without the calories. Leave enough room
for seconds!
