The Perfect Way to Enjoy Your Rusks
There’s an art to enjoying rusks. More than merely snacking, the traditional way is to dunk them in your morning tea or coffee—achieving that momentary soak that softens the outside while maintaining the oh-so-satisfying inner crunch.
Hold your rusk in your drink for just 3-5 seconds before quickly moving it to your mouth for the perfect texture combination. For a more indulgent treat, try dunking it in your hot chocolate on one of our cold New Zealand mornings.
And you don’t need to limit yourself to breakfast. Rusks are a great addition to afternoon tea or even make a great sneaky midnight snack! Just ensure they’re kept in an airtight container to ensure their crunch remains as satisfying as ever.
