Thoughts on Hot Seasonal Beverages!

Nice to see this thread again.  :)

I voted for 'specialised tea'. I tasted a 'Jäger tea' in Italy when we went skiing a couple of years ago. It's basically a tea with a good shot of Jägermeister in it. Jägermeister is a German herbal liquor. I was quite good. After spending the day out in the cold, this drink really warmed me up.

Now that you remind me I think you telling me that last year too!!!

Oh and you made me spend about $10 this morning Amanda!!

I had to commute this morning to see my mentor, who is based in Edinurgh (a great role model but I'll talk about that in the feminist forum) anyway -I tend to treat myself to coffee and muffin when I do that extra 1hr commute each way on top of my daily commute....

anyway i was walking form one train station to the other and I saw Starbucks had the red cups. (Now as I say I don't normally buy in Starbucks) So I bought a dark cherry mocha and an overpriced muffin. It was okay but not really to my taste! They seem to have discontinued the egg nog one.

Here's a hot toddy recipe that's "got whiskey or sumpthin"  ;)

1 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
1/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz sugar syrup
1 slice lemon
1 clove
4 oz hot water

Heat in a heat-resistant glass, and fill with hot water. Add a lemon slice speared with a clove, and serve.

 :D :D
On the Food Network a little bit ago, the show Good Eats with Alton Brown, did a program on old, very traditional Chistmas recipes (from Victorian times, etc.)  And, he made wassail and talked about posset!!  It immediately made me think of this thread.

He was working from such old recipes that there were no measurments or temperatures.  Just lists of ingredients.  It was actually really interesting, and all the recipes seemed very complex.

I'm not normally a hot chocolate drinker, but I can still taste the cocoa I had at Meadowlark Lodge after climbing Brokenback for the very first time in January 2007! It was heavenly!

Nowadays, I'm trying not to become addicted to the Gingerbread Latte at Starbucks. It is wonderful especially with the treat at the end--little bits of crystallized ginger. But, usually they forget to put it in unless specifically asked.
