It’s a hot summer afternoon. I’m sitting down on a hot afternoon, with a burger, and a cold beer.
What I’m looking for is something to replace that cold beer with. I want it to be crisp and fresh, but also not sweet. I love tart and bitter flavours. Unfortunately, my options are either cold and sweet, cold and alcoholic or hot and non sweet.
So threadiverse, what alternatives am I missing?
Tereré is great, but it’s a bit of a pain to source in Australia. What else is there?
What about green tea? It’s also good iced.
It’s the same plant, just harvested sooner, so I’d imagine it’s the same issue.
A single black tea doesn’t do me any harm, but if I have a couple in a day, or if I have black tea for 2 or 3 days straight, my throat starts to tighten up. It’s mild, but it’s concerning enough that I haven’t pushed it any further and don’t drink it anymore.
Green teas have never given me the same reaction, but to be fair, I don’t think I’ve ever had 2 or 3 green teas on the same day…
