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.
you should give barley tea a shot.
hot vs cold are two different flavors.
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.
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.”
