I love red tea, so I thought this would be great. I added a little vanilla extract and used unsweetened vanilla almond milk and Madagascar vanilla red tea. I think it would be too sweet if one used sweetened almond milk. As it is, I found the orange zest to be totally overwhelming. If I made this again (and I probably wouldn't), I'd leave it out entirely. The end result tasted, to quote my husband, "just like Fruity Pebbles". It did bake up beautifully, though a welcome addition to this recipe would be brief instructions for a water bath, which I had to look up.
