So if I can't overdose on tea, can I get drunk on it?
Anyone know any drinks that mix alcohol and tea?

Well, "parson's tea" is tea with a bit of rum or whiskey in it. I
believe it was generally drunk to give the appearance of abstemiousness without the corresponding burden of complete sobriety. But I have just tried to look it up in the OED without success, and although I do not always limit myself to words which appear in the dictionary this does void my usual warrantee. But regardless of appearances, after walking home from work on a frosty Wisconsin evening (i.e., at some point between September and May, inclusive) I have been known to make a strong cup of Oestfriesland tea, brown sugar, and bourbon. But since hearing about Catrin K.'s cannabis tea I'm thinking of switching to it. Rick. In rec.food.drink.tea Blair P. Houghton > wrote: > Anyone know any drinks that mix alcohol and tea? |

I think it is a decent low-alcohol drink, using just a couple oz of sake, and a normal size cup of tea. - j -- http://www.io.com/~jti/ drivel, in esperanto, new and improved http://www.fluoroscopickid.com electronic music http://gin.porniverse.com all about gin |

In Hungary "rumos tea" (black tea with rum) is a quite popular beverage, especially in the winter time, or when you have a flu. As the Hungarian saying goes, it tastes best without adding the tea... But I better stop before getting off topic. György |

Here in East Texas I've had a customer who likes Southern Comfort and

Indeed, while the term 'parson's tea' may be plausible, not only is it not to be found in the OED but it is not to be found in any slang references either. It seems to be a little used, or localised expression. Matt -- If your encyclopaedia doesn't list "widget glass", you're reading the wrong encyclopaedia. The Probert Encyclopaedia.

Rick. Hey you and me both. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, as the archaeologists say. If you do trace it's use anywhere, please let me know, I have an encyclopaedia to maintain! <G> Matt -- Over 14,000 searchable slang definitions from around the 'English' speaking world. http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/slang.htm |
