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

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

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.

Rooibos Tea
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...

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

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!

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

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.

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.

*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.

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?
*ponders*
