*gives TD some hot tea with honey and lemon*

drink up!

Telcontar_Dunedain · 02-09-2006, 03:04 PM

Thaks Rian. Doctor told me to drink some of that stuff.

Spock · 02-09-2006, 03:08 PM

If you can have it, add a bit of whiskey to the tea and honey. My dad used that anytime he had a fevor.

***Rían*** · 02-09-2006, 08:23 PM

I just finished some Rooibus tea (not really tea, but close enough) - anyone else want some?

The last sane person · 02-09-2006, 08:27 PM

Say what now? What is Rooibus tea, if not really a tea? Alas, my google is running very oddly, so I am not going to bother with it today.

Lotesse · 02-09-2006, 08:31 PM

Apparantly, it's the "hot new tea of the year," whatever that means.

The "new red tea," which leads one to wonder what the old red tea was...

The last sane person · 02-09-2006, 08:36 PM

...That doesnt really help. What is it made of? What plant? What does it taste like?

Oh, and CLEAN OUT YOUR DARN MAIL BOX WOMAN!

Lotesse · 02-09-2006, 08:38 PM

I have no idea. I've never had it. Here's a link if you feel like reading about it -

Old red tea probably was referring to some creepy looking ta they found in their grandfather's cellar?

***Rían*** · 02-09-2006, 08:49 PM

I think it's not a tea, because it's not from a tea plant. It's called a tisane, which is any tea-like drink that isn't from a tea plant.

I just know that my sister, who is really into tea, likes it and gave me some, and I liked it, so I bought some. It's from S. Africa, as Lotesse's link showed. The kettle's just boiling now, I'm getting another cup!

hectorberlioz · 02-09-2006, 08:51 PM

I had a cup of Ginger Tea this morning myself. Cleared my head up a bit in preparation for the cold.

The last sane person · 02-09-2006, 08:52 PM

I wouldnt know, but from reading that, it sounds okay. I never like black tea though, I guess I'd have to try it for myself to see.

I think black tea is green tea, only older.

heehee!

The last sane person · 02-09-2006, 08:57 PM

Oh blah, thats why I stick to coffee. Just plain black coffee. Maybe with some cream and sugar if I am feeling fancy.

***Rían*** · 02-09-2006, 09:02 PM

*gives sane a big honkin' cup of plain black coffee, with cream and sugar waiting anxiously on the side to see if sane is feeling fancy*

Lotesse · 02-09-2006, 09:02 PM

Me too, but I like additions to my coffee - like lots of milk and sugar, or a good espresso with sugar, or macchiato with caramel, or latte with chocolate (equals mocha!) - stuff like that.

The last sane person · 02-09-2006, 09:04 PM

*snerk*

! *Sane takes up her big honkin' cup of plain black coffee. She contemplates, eyes the sugar and cream. Contemplates some more. Adds in a bit of cream and sugar then takes a sip* Now that's what I call honest to goodness coffee.

***Rían*** · 02-09-2006, 09:16 PM

I'm not sure if the cream and sugar would be happy or sad ... I mean, this is a major philosophical quesion - does cream and sugar NOT want to be ingested, or do they consider it the ultimate fulfillment of their purpose in life to be ingested?
