After a long pause, the waiter indicated (ever so politely) that they didn't serve that beverage. My FIL reminded them that all you had to do was brew tea and pour it over ice. The waiter, with a painful grimace on his face, checked with his manager. Eventually, my FIL got his iced tea. He said that it was about the best **** tea he's ever had in his life too.

Thank you for sharing.

I so wish that I had been there to witness it.

Late evening I rather go for herbal tea.

I'm actually wasting time this morning to delay getting down to doing some unpleasant admin and, for reasons too complicated to explain here, came across this odd bit about how wild boar are hunted:


"In Nepal, farmers and poachers eliminate boars by baiting balls of wheat flour containing explosives with kerosene oil, with the animals' chewing motions triggering the devices."

Had a barley tea at a Korean restaurant. I liked the food, but not the barley tea.

Britain’s daily cuppa could soon taste different. The picking of high quality tea in Darjeeling has been brought to a virtual standstill by ethnic unrest.
