How to Do the Tim Tam Slam: 6 Steps
The Tim Tam Slam is a popular Australian treat that has been enjoyed for years by both locals and visitors alike. This delicious chocolate biscuit tradition involves sipping hot beverage through a Tim Tam, creating a tasty and fun experience like no other. Follow these six simple steps to master the art of the Tim Tam Slam:
1. Gather your supplies: To get started with the Tim Tam Slam, you’ll need a packet of Tim Tams (classic or any other preferred flavor), a hot beverage like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate to dip and sip, and a mug to hold your drink.
2. Prepare your hot beverage: Brew your favorite hot drink and pour it into the mug. Make sure it’s not too hot, as you don’t want to burn your mouth. The ideal temperature is slightly warmer than drinking temperature to ensure the best results when you bite into the Tim Tam.
3. Choose your Tim Tam: Take one biscuit from the packet and hold it in your hand firmly but gently. You’ll need to bite off diagonal corners of the biscuit without crushing it.
4. Bite off diagonal corners: Carefully bite off opposite diagonal corners of the Tim Tam – one corner on the top side and the other corner on the bottom side. Try not to snap off too much of each corner; you just need enough removed to expose the inner filling.
5. Start sipping: Hold your bitten biscuit above the steaming mug of hot beverage and place one bitten corner into the liquid. Quickly use the other bitten corner to suck up some of your drink like a straw, allowing the liquid to flow through the inner filling of the biscuit.
6. Slam it: Just before your biscuit becomes too soggy, pop it into your mouth entirely and relish in its melt-in-your-mouth perfection! Savor the delicious combination of hot liquid and softened biscuit, and enjoy the burst of flavors.
