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?
Alas, I’m allergic to black tea :\
Other teas taste nice, but I’ve yet to find one that has a strong enough taste for me.
Hibiscus tea is amazing! Agua de Jamaica
Very good on a summer day with strong flavors
“This delicious and refreshing hibiscus tea is a staple Mexican agua fresca (it’s right up there with horchata and agua de tamarindo), loved for its tart, slightly sweet flavor and stunning color.”
Herbal ones are options too. I could definitely do away with some iced chamomile or chrysanthemum tea. Just make sure it’s completely herbal and it won’t have real tea in it.
you should give barley tea a shot.
hot vs cold are two different flavors.
