I somehow made a tea that smells like buttered popcorn Jelly Bellies

I boiled 9 cups of water with 9 grams of fresh ginger with a teaspoon of honey (golden wildflower) to see how it would taste.

After 10 minutes I opened the lid while simmering it on low and it was a familiar sweet smell. The buttered popcorn jelly beans were my favorite type mainly for the smell, but taste also.

The tea it’s self just tastes like ginger, but could be sweeter if I added more honey. I typically drink ginger tea by itself, but I like the smell made with the honey.

Edit: after being in fridge overnight, the smell is not as strong. There’s a hint of ginger with a faint sweet aftertaste. It’s still nice, but I’d like more flavor. Next time I’ll add more ginger or boil longer.
