Good morning Elle (although the sun is past the yardarm for us, at the time of my answer lol)
Good choice of tea strength (it's shows us your a proper British woman!)
Rich tea a good choice too!!! but makes me think your a West country girl living in the East!
Now to the Ginger nuts, they are fantastic in tea but coffee....? Well that's a new one on me and I'm sure if you say it is good , then it is exactly that.
The thing about coffee is I never found that coffee was quite as good at getting the biscuit soggy, do you know what I mean?
By this I mean in a timely manner, it seems to me that coffee always took longer to get the desired result!
These days this is all academic to me as sadly I am no longer allowed to eat "Discs of Death" AKA Biscuits, for health reasons.

Now everyone can enjoy a British Cream Tea and believe me it tastes divine, if anyone does make one please show us a pic.
LOL yes the West Country has always felt like home. I think you should either source some sugar-free ginger biscuits, or make your own. They do have to be properly crisp though or they won't soak up the coffee. You can use filter or instant. A ginger nut dipped in coffee shouldn't go floppy but will be soft enough to disintegrate in the mouth - perfect in my mind. The trouble with rich teas is there's always the chance it'll break off and fall into the mug.
I want a cream tea now dammit LOL!
You're welcome! I'm not sure how it tastes yet, mine is done but I haven't tried it. I will do in the morning if I remember, and let you know. But as the alcohol evaporates out it should be fine.That's a great idea! Exactly what I was trying to accomplish. Thanks!
