Putting rum in tea.....

[grahamg]

When I was fourteen the aunt of a friend of mine added some rum to the teapot, before serving it in china cups.

I've never forgotten it, as it was one of the best cuppas I've ever had, (and I've had a few), and it was the first time I'd tasted rum too.

Luckily it didn't turn me into an alcoholic, as my mother might have feared, and this morning, for the first time in a good while, I added a tot of rum, to see if it tasted as good, and it did I'm glad to say!

A tot of rum in coffee is nice as well

Never been the same since gunpowder ceased to be generally available (I'm in the UK)!

I mean the proper old fashioned Black powder.

Cordite and nitro cellulose are not the same!

If you put it in coffee, you would probably call it a
"Caribbean Coffee".

Rum is also good in root beer with lots of ice.

Why dilute good coffee?? LOL

I've never tried rum in tea, but each year around Christmas I go on a Kahlua in coffee binge! So, so good!

As for the combo that Lee, mentioned, she's right, that's good, too!

A hot toddy is great for a cold ... my mother even used to make that for me as a child.

I like sweet black tea with a dash of brandy.

Russian hot chocolate (vodka) is quite popular in German ski resorts!

I like Irish coffee. I forgot what's in it, though, but it's good!

FIreball (cinnamon) Whiskey in hot apple cider. Now there's a drink you'll feel down to your toes!

Sugar, Irish Whiskey and Cream, either whipped or plain,
whipped cream sits easier on top of the coffee.

Thanks Mike. I used to have it at a nearby restaurant--I don't think they put sugar in it where I go to (because it didn't taste sweet) but whipped cream, whiskey and coffee yes.

Is a tot, the same as a jigger or a shot?

I used to have a cup of tea with a shot of rum after shoveling snow. Then in 1972 we moved to Florida, no more snow.

 

[Mike]

I always put in a double, but I don't know how
you say that in America.

Three fingers maybe?

2 shots.

Why ruin a good cup of tea. Ditto for coffee. We can order online for alcohol but it goes to your nearest post office for delivery pick-up.

We call them hot toddy's here. Use them with lemon and honey when sick.
