I'm blessed to have a mom-and-pop run meadary not 2 miles from my base and a microbrew 30 minutes away.

Never had mead. It's on my "to try" list.
Probably something to be had in small quantities lest your head ring like a bell the next morning.

Actually, it's not that bad. Then again, I'm not prone to hangovers for the most part. It's about the same strength as wine (10.5%-ish) and is slightly dry and sweet.

My mother is applicable? In a conversation about Alcoholic beverages? Hardly!

How did this thread mutate into an alcohol discussion when we started about tea?
I think we have a problem...

How did this thread mutate into an alcohol discussion when we started about tea? I think we have a problem... I don't see anything wrong with it. In fact, while we're going into the alcohol territory for a bit, I saw a cocktail special at my local bar that serves green tea as part of their recipe for some drink that I... forgot what it's called. It's been a while and I really should head back there someday, since their food is quite delicious too. As for tea, well I drink a lot of variety, ranging from the classic English breakfast to something that is not often seen outside my place, like sencha tea infused with baked green apples, that comes along with bits of apple pieces thrown in. And there's the in between stuff such as HK milk tea, Masala tea and other things. Let's just say I love every sort of tea and leave it there. I could tell you what sort of tea I hate, which is earl gray. I can see why some people like it, but for me.... it's not my cup of tea.

A mojito possibly? We sell those at work and some of them use steeped green tea. There is some kind of minty syrup variation as well. Fuck, anything can be the base of a good drink. I was just enjoying the irony of a really innocent topic turning to drink. I used to enjoy Earl Grey until I stopped being able to find a decent brew of it anywhere. Now, I'm probably like you and won't touch it at all. We don't really get anything too exotic around here though. The mainly middle aged folks around here don't so much brew tea as drown tea bags in scalding hot water for several hours and then somehow manage to to not choke while drinking the mud that results. the fact that any kind of herbal tea is available around here in that environment is a miracle.

Nah, I don't it's mojito, Linders. From I remember from the menu, the name of the drink sounded wapanese.
Oh and thanks for the suggestion for the tea cocktails, salty. I'll probably try those when I have a chance,

Back to the subject of tea, I find myself drinking plenty of green tea with honey on account of a sore throat courtesy a nasty upper respiratory infection I had for most of the week last week. It (the tea) works quite nicely as a sore throat remedy.

That's one way to remedy a sore throat. Also, adding lemon and honey into the tea helps when you have a cold. For me anyway.
