Have you ever heard of a Radler? Beer and lemonade? It's the southern German sports drink. Very popular in the alpine regions of Austria as well.

Yes, that's what they call it in England. And in France they have the panaché.

But the Radler is very much a part of the culture of southern Germany and Austria.

I don't know, my stint in Austria introduced me to many different customs of mixing drinks. Whiskey and apple juice? Wine and sprite (Süßrot oder Süßweiss, wirlich?!? Schmeckt gut, ja.)

While we're on about tea, Liptons. Avoid the stuff, it's bloody awful. It must be the tea that got washed.

The same goes for just about any bagged tea in general.

Now tea should be a complete treat - Earl Grey, warmed pot, nice cup or mug, comfy chair, splash of milk, no sugar.
This summer a daily ritual was get up early, big mug of earl Grey, some light breakfast and the Olympics on the BBC - now that is heaven.:laugh4:

your inducing severe sickness on me :coffeenews:
earl grey tastes like cigarette ash! putrid! :laugh4:

Re: Tea

I like Gen Mai Cha and Sencha without additives, Earl Grey with lemon, black teas with a drop of brandy on a cold night. A variety of iced teas, usually with honey and lemon, in the heat of the summer sun. On occasion, black teas with cream and honey. A Ukrainian friend has introduced a variety of sweet cookies that go well with unsweetened hot teas preferred by Russians.

As a teen, nothing beat the caffeine rush of Morning Thunder at summer camp tea parties, though it tasted pretty much like what I'd imagine buffalo piss to taste like.

Nettle tea? Not heard of that. Google time ....

While surfing the web, I stumbled upon this great map. The Mason-Dixie line from the perspective of sweet tea. Virginia only.

Boiling hot water, with sugar and just a spot of milk added is how I drink my tea. Quite deliberately, I took my cue from my cultural overlords, the English.
I'd be most obliged if somebody knows of an interesting link or map showing the extent of English tea influence.

Barbaric? Why not it suits me well... Quisque est Barbarus Alio.

I know Oolong should not be served my way, but well, that's the way I drink it. I prefer the darker Oolongs and i'm due to forget the tea in the kettle for twenty minutes when I'm back from work, so just a very little bit of sugar is nice with them.

Tea is best the way one loves it, no matter how "barbaric" some habits can look like... Nevermind the Ayatullahs....
