An observation

1st January 2007, 05:12 AM

Happy New Year to those in the west that celebrate it today. I made an
observation tonight. Though I usually eschew alcohol in tea (doesn't need it
of course) I experimented this evening and found out that calvados and/or
dark rum go well with chai tea. The apple overtones go well with the spices.
The rum is less expensive, less rare and still fruity so it makes an OK
substitute for calvados I imagine.

True, since I drink alcohol pretty rarely anyway. New Year's Tea, it could
be called.

First or second flush Darjeeling, iced, with a dash of white rum,
garnished with mint sprigs is a summer favorite refreshment of mine.
