Interesting replies to a straightforward but deceptively simple question. I haven’t had any alcoholic beverages in decades, so I assumed something other than beer, etc.
At the moment we’re drinking a black tea blend consisting of three components: straight forward black tea (Ceylon, for example), Earl Grey, and cardamom tea. Apparently, one component is for taste, one for aroma and one for color, although not sure of the mixture. What I know as a tea novice is that unlike other black teas, for which I always add milk / cream and brown / white sugar, this blend I drink straight.
