We tried all eight products of Meghan Markle’s new “AS Ever” series

After almost a year of waiting, the Meghan Markle He finally presented her new product range ‘AS EVER’! But was it really worth waiting?

In a word, the answer is: not really!

I was eagerly waiting for Meghan’s new products, especially since he sent to my idol, Kris Jennera jar with its homemade “jam” last year, with the old name “American Riviera Orchard ».

I really think Meghan has a flawless style and, I will admit, that I bought her nail polishes with a gel from her page. And, after watching the ‘With Love, Meghan’ On Netflix, and I admired her wonderful cuisine on television, I was looking forward to the release of the products even more eagerly. I was expecting to ‘I feel the magic of Montecito’ In my apartment in New York, as she promised her recent newsletter.

As a member of the group Femail of dailymail.co.uk we managed to get in our hands all eight products, including the wildflower honey that had almost exhausted since it was released.

But when we tried the product products ‘AS EVER’no one seemed particularly worthwhile or special. The baking mixtures were difficult to make, while the “jam” looked more like a dessert sauce than like a raspberry.

Following is the official ranking of Femail What is really worth buying and what you should leave behind in a shopping basket in Montecito.

8. Hibiscus tea from herbs, 12 $

The long worst product that sells Markle under the name ‘AS EVER’it’s her hibiscus tea.

The tea arrived in a cute 0.9 -ounce box with the branded golden brand and the palm logo on the packaging, and contained 12 sachets.

The only positive feature of this product was the tea sachets: elegant nylon bags that gave a beautiful look compared to the regular paper sachets we find in simple brands.

In the back of the jar, the Meghan She wrote that she liked to let the tea soak in a cup out in the sun, but unfortunately, because we were in a corporate office and not in a large courtyard in California, we didn’t have the opportunity to do it. However, we followed her other instructions, and poured boiling water in a mug and let the tea sachet “simmer” for seven minutes.

Unfortunately, we better stopped there!

Before even drinking a sip, the tea had got a bright red color, which was probably alarming. It had an extremely bitter taste with a strong smell of flowers.

‘Had taste like dirty dishwashing water’wrote some of the team. “All the taste was in the smell, somehow.” It had a stronger flavor than a taste.

Some of us didn’t even stand to swallow it, and some watched it again in the cup.

7. Herbs mint tea, 12 $

The Herbal Peppermint Tea (herbal tea) has the same characteristics as hibiscus tea, but a different taste and came in a box of the same size with 12 sachets.

Mint tea had the same problem: it had a very mild taste. When we kept the tea near our mouths, before drinking a sip, we immediately hit a strong mint smell.

The tea did not leave a flavor in our mouths, it had a pretty light taste and a “strong” aroma.

6. Ginger tea with lemon, 12 $

Like the hibiscus tea and mint tea, the Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea (lemon ginger tea) was not very “strong”, but it had a better taste than the hibiscus or mint.

It had a light lemon flavor and a slightly more “heavy” ginger flavor, but not in a noticeable way. It combined the two ingredients in some way, but again, it was not particularly tasty.

However, if the Meghan He was holding a tea out of the three, he should definitely keep that.

We drank it hot, but it might be more beautiful with a little ice in the summer.

5. Flower Sprinkles, $ 15

If you have watched at least one minute of its broadcast Meghan In Netflix, you will know that the sprinkles (something like truffle) flowers is her favorite product, perhaps even more than her “jam”.

The sprinkles is essentially a colorful mixture of dried pieces of flowers that the Meghan She used them to cover her frozen donuts and her yogurt parfairs, but also to garnish tea cups and implants.

Since the sprinkles were very often presented in ‘With love’the Meghandecided to sell her own for $ 15.

The first thing that impressed us in them was the honor. You can find similar products on Amazon for under $ 10 or even on Etsy.

Her sprinkles Meghan Sold in a compact, golden jar of 0.17 g, with a transparent lid. It is worth noting that the packaging was not enough to top, but half -full.

The Sprinkles of flowers They come in a variety of red, yellow, orange and blue, but they look more like confetti than petals, as they had no petal shape.

They have the smell of flowers, although they are edible – with a fragrance similar to the scent of hibiscus tea.

Flower sprinkles were fine but definitely not as nice as the Meghan He made them look on the show. If we didn’t know exactly what it was, we would think that they were dried flowers from a strange “pot Purri” from the 1980s, such as those that our aunt probably holds in her bathroom.

4. Crepe mixture, 14 $

Fortunately, the Meghan included some pastries in the products ‘AS EVER’such as Crepe mix (mixture for crepe), with $ 14 that as he said “It reminds her of the time she was a student in France.”

“These thin pancakes, full of chocolate, fruits, fresh lemon and powdered sugar or salty with ham and cheese, are truly a feast of flavors. Also, they are so easy to do! “wrote in a recent newsletter.

Forgive us Meghanbut we disagree. We are not sure if it was the lack of baking skills or the recipe itself, but we had many problems.

Making the batter was easy, as all we needed to add was a big egg, a cup and two tablespoons of water and two tablespoons of melted butter.

However, the turkey was extremely thick and sticky, which means that every time we were trying to put a little in the hot pan, it stuck to our spoon.

It was also difficult to dilute the mixture in the pan and our crepes came out much thicker than normal.

In addition to their jealous smell, it was generally a sticky and coarse thing – at least for us.

For some of us, it took about six attempts to make a crepe.

The columnist of dailymail.co.uk, Maureen Callahan described the product as something that “It gives you the feeling that you are eating bad pancakes.”

Some others described the taste as “Nothing special” and ‘Mild’suggesting that it would be easier and more delicious to make your own crepe porridge.

3. Spread raspberry, in commemorative packaging, 14 $

The Raspberry Spread (raspberry lean) of her Meghan, which was released in special packaging as a $ 14 souvenir, it has been described many times as “jam”. Had already become very well known, as the Meghan She sent 50 jars last year to her famous friends, such as Chrissy Teigen.

The company claims that raspberry fruit springs “She is inspired by the recipe made by Meghan in the kitchen of her home”.

She had explained in an episode of her broadcast on Netflix that her product cannot technically be called jam because “The jam is made up of equal parts of sugar and fruit.”

In accordance with Food & Winethe jam should come from a single fruit and contain at least 45 percent fruits and 55 percent sugar.

However, despite the advertising campaign around the product, the Femail was not impressed.

Immediately with the opening of the jar, his texture was surprised. The spray was very wet and quite sparse – a little “bulk”, we would say. At first glance, he gave you the impression that he melted during his transfer to us.

Her ‘jam’ Meghan were very sweet – and we mean really Sweet! It was reminiscent of a dessert sauce with sugar and raspberry rather than a sprinkle intended to be consumed with a piece of toast.

The taste was also amazingly intense.

After trying it with the spoon and “grumble” for the sweetness, we spread a little on a toasted slice of bread. The “jam” was so thin that it was “running” everywhere. Our -toasted piece of bread – became a disaster in a matter of minutes.

If you pour it over vanilla ice cream, a piece of pie or a stack of pancakes, the spray can act as a “syrup”, but in itself as a “jam”, it is anything but enjoyable.

2. Honey from honeycomb wildflowers, 28 $

We were lucky enough to take in our hands the Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb (Honey of honeycomb), a product that was so popular, that it was sold immediately.

The jar -9 ounce -honey was the last thing that came from our order and on top had the signature ‘AS EVER’. Our team was quite divided for this product – while some we considered it wonderful, others didn’t like the flavor of the honeycomb.

One thing is for sure: that it leaves a super intense taste of wild flower in the mouth.

Although, in a nutshell, honey was quite tasty, it gives you a “plastic” sense of honeycomb, which is difficult to get used to.

But $ 28 … !! It may be better to prefer to buy a little honey from the local market.

1. Mixture for buns with flower sprinkles, 14 $

In the end, we kept the best: the HortBread Cookie Mix with Flower Sprinkles (mixture for buns with flower sprinkles), which all of our team enjoyed.

Although the preparation of the dough and the preparation was quite a bit, the end result was compensated. Certainly the buns were the best of all the products that sell the Meghan.

We added a little melted butter to the mixture and then let the dough cool in the refrigerator for one hour.

We mixed the dough easily, but it was very difficult to make it as it crumbled in our hands. However, the tiring process was worth it, as the cookies were wonderful, light and very buttery!

Although we burned the first batch, the dough arrived for many cookies. We baked the rest until they got a uniform golden color.

It was also very soft, something we appreciated, and they remained extremely fresh all night.

It would be fun to make if you have young children, as the package of the flowers you add to the dough gives a fun touch!

The final verdict

Overall, the order ‘AS EVER’ her Meghan Markle It is not something special.

Some of the products, such as hibiscus tea, flower sprinkles and raspberry sprig Meghan Continue the series.

Our team agrees that we would not buy any of all these products again, including buns, even though they were more delicious than the rest.

OR Meghan could create a new line of products in the future. What would you say about a picnic basket ‘AS EVER’ Filled with things that could make a child’s birthday party special, such as in the episode of Netflix shot with comic Mindy Kaling; Or for a mixture for vanilla glaze donuts as it presents on television?

But whatever we say … “jam” is her jam!
