1. Gather your supplies

To begin the Tim Tam Slam, you’ll need to have some essential supplies on hand: a packet of Tim Tam biscuits (any flavor will do), a hot beverage of your choice (coffee, tea, or hot chocolate work well), and a mug. The key ingredients here are the Tim Tams and the hot drink, as they combine for the ultimate sensory experience.

2. Make your hot beverage

Prepare your hot drink of choice, whether it’s coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Ensure that the temperature is just right as too cool won’t soften the biscuit and too hot may burn your mouth during the Slam process.

3. Choose your Tim Tam

Select a Tim Tam biscuit from the packet. It’s always a good idea to have a couple of them on standby in case you want to repeat the Slamming experience.

4. Bite off each end of the Tim Tam

Hold the biscuit firmly in your hand and take small diagonal bites from opposite corners of the Tim Tam, removing just enough to expose the inner cream filling and layers.

5. Use the biscuit as a straw

Hold one bitten end of the Tim Tam in your hot beverage and quickly suck through the other end like you’re using a straw. The drink will be drawn up through the biscuit layers, melting its interior and infusing it with warmth.

6. Enjoy the Slam while it lasts

Once you feel that you’ve successfully drawn enough liquid through your makeshift Tim Tam “straw”, pull it out of your beverage and promptly consume it in one bite. Be prepared for an explosion of flavors as the warm, softened biscuit meets your taste buds.
