I think all biscuits are ok to be dunked into tea (never coffee). Different biscuits require different skill levels, for instance a Nice biscuit requires real skill to have it in and out with no shaking it all about to avoid a mess over the china tea cup.

A hard dough mixture like Morning Coffee and Rich Tea type biscuits are particularly suited to a quick dip in coffee while a soft dough such as Digestive, Nice and Malted Milk are more designed for a slightly lengthier dunk in Tea.

Apparently the Queen Mother liked to dunk so totally acceptable upper class behaviour. Churchill reportedly dipped his cigar in Gin/Whisky/Brandy.

Allegedly President Clinton like to dip his cigar into something a little more exotic before he smoked it.

 

As for myself I like to dip a slice of rich fruit cake into a whisky infused tea. Any cake that drops into the tea during the dipping process, can be scooped out and eaten after the tea as been drunk.

Tried it recently with a chai latte. Tasted great.

I bow to your expertise in all things biscuit (and dcfc of course). I do confess to enjoying a dunked jammy dodger too and am willing to sacrifice the tea flavour for the enhancement of the biscuit experience.

You were doing great until you put tea at the end of the sentence. In your honour I dipped a piece of Dundee cake into a drop of neat 25 year old malt (actually couldn't face doing that so used some blended stuff!). It was superb.

Trouble is I could see me putting on 5 stone (look it up kiddies) and losing my driving licence thanks to you!

Cheers

I started by dunking in neat whisky but was in danger of becoming an alcoholic, thats why the tea was added.
