Meld deliciously with ....

The most convenient way to use vanilla in tea is to add a few drops of the extract to your brew.
Vanilla mates best with black tea. The fragrance and taste also meld deliciously with almond extract, blueberry, clove, cranberry, honey, honeybush, and pomegranate.
Although vanilla is considered a safe product, you need to be careful to buy pure vanilla bean extract. Because it is so expensive some companies dilute their vanilla with cheaper extracts.

--- I'm not sure, does it mean that the taste and fragrance meld deliciously with blueberry tea, clove tea, cranberry tea, honey tea, honeybush tea and pomegranate tea

Or maybe the fragrance and taste of the vanilla extract blends well with raw blueberry, with a clove leaf ... I'm not 100% sure?

What it literally seems to mean is that vanilla melds deliciously with all those things, but I doubt that is actually the intention. I would guess it's trying to say that black tea also goes well with the flavourings almond, blueberry, clove, etc. g.

I would guess it's trying to say that black tea also goes well with the flavourings almond, blueberry, clove, etc. It does not say how one would add the latter flavourings (e.g. whether as an extracted oil, the raw product, etc.)

Why do you think it says that the black tea goes well with the taste/aroma of the almond, blueberry etc.

I thought it says that the Vanilla goes well with the taste/aroma of all these things?

NewguestWhy do you think it says that the black tea goes well with the taste/aroma of the almond, blueberry etc.
I'm sorry, I assumed that the primary topic was tea (I thought it was the same text as some of your previous posts about tea). Is the primary topic actually vanilla?

It's a passage from the section entitled Vanilla Extract. And yes, it's from a book about tea. Check longer excerpt above. I added a few sentences to make it clearer.

In that case I think you're right, sorry.
