On that note, why don’t you experiment too by liquifying some of that glorious Mangosteen jam with a less acidic vinegar (so as not to overpower), add some olive oil (maybe just the extra light kind) with some juice and voila, a fruity salad dressing! Whatchatink, MM???

As a child, I remember a story written by Enid Blyton, wherein the child made ‘tea’ by putting teaspoonfuls of jam into hot water. We had blackberry jam at the time and I had my first cup of ‘tea’:-)

Brilliant idea MarketMan. I see no slice of lemon in your cup of Earl Grey though, the traditional English accompaniment. It is even mentioned in Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code as a security check by somebody.

Never milk in Earl Grey though. Not cricket, old chap!

edel, that doesn’t sound so wierd in the context of all these new concoctions touting mangosteen as the new health drink…so your dad was ahead of his time!!! Misao, how interesting chocolate with mangosteen…I type as I rush to the kitchen…

this may sound weird… my father used to make mangosteen tea by boiling mangosteen fruit (quartered). will try your suggested mangosteen tea (a friend brought me mangosteen preserve from davao recently). thanks for the tip!

Very impressive! When your light bulb flashes â€“ something good comes out. I bet you anything the people at Earl Grey tea did not even think about that but it is a winner! This is one of the reasons that I enjoy your site. You share everything whether it is a sure winner or a failure. Thank you much again.

I was in Bohol last week for a project. We ate at a cafe owned by the mayor of Dauis, who happens to be a herbologist. The cafe carries a line of concoctions of coffee and chocolate drinks with mangosteen extract (made by the mayor himself).
