What's your favourite drink?

Do you drink always the same?

What if you can only decide for one kind of drink till the end of your life, what would it be?

Do you think that the right tea at the right moment can help to cure your illness/complaint?

What do we have to drink if we visit your country? Is there anything we should definitely try out?

it's really hot , why not try some chinese unique drinks ?

i often drink water, no sugar, no tea. the plain boild water is my favor. :)
but sometimes i like to taste sth different.today i will recommend some unique drinks in china. i hope u will like them in the hot day.
first, ptisan is called barely tea, famous for oriental cafe. besides,it can quench the thirst when it's hot. meanwhile it plays a role in keeping health weight loss if u have long-standing drinking.(good news for girls) ;)
Do you want some green bean soup? In summer mung Bean soup helps to clear away heat and stop irritation. it can also help get rid of the tiredness and make me refreshed.
i felt fanned by a lively breeze.cool!!!!!!! if u had it , u would fall in love into it. :D
double peel milk is another drink i like ,named milk custard too. it's white and smooth, a dessert, produced in guangdong,china. its full aroma attract my attention and it tasts as smooth as baby's skin, as gentle as mother's touch,arousing the innocence of my childhood, making my mood easy. i feel nice and cool too when it is put into my mouth. :thumbup:
when u travel to china, i can show u these delicious drinks. hope u will enjoy them. 8)

I'm into mojito and cosmopolitan at the moment.. though my parents got me a bottle of liquorice liquor (freely translated from the Dutch: dropshot) for Sinterklaas (which is a Dutch feast on the 5th of december, it's more or less like santa claus. If you want to know more, google it, otherwise I'll be way off topic :D). I really like dropshot though... especially when it's below 0 degrees outside :D

My favourite drink right now is limoncelli (it's from Italy). Apart from that I started drinking pure water... it's the best if it's so hot, I'd say!

@wit: that looks pretty interesting to try... I'd love to give a shot. Well, we have some special wines but not really extraordinary like your examples. ;)

@arianne: I haven't heard of dropshot yet... hm. What's the Dutch name for it? I'm just wondering.

In the southern states of the US, where summers are hot and humid, we drink iced tea with sugar and lemon. It can be made with either black or green tea, but the most popular is black. It can be sweetened with sugar, honey, or artificial sweeteners. We call it "Sweet Tea," and it is very refreshing on a hot, humid day. Being a Southerner, I have drunk sweet tea all my life, but I am told that people from other parts of the country have to develop a taste for it.

I do believe that there are herbal "teas" or infusions which can heal. I drink peppermint tea for an upset stomach and a blend of chamomile and lavendar to relax. If I have anxiety, I might add a little catnip to the mixture.

If I had to drink only one drink for the rest of my life, it would be water. It's not as delicious as sweet tea, but it's healthier.

If you came to my country, you could get anything you wanted to drink, unless the ingredients for the drink are not available in the US.

For beer, my favorite is Killians; for wine, I like sangria or a blush/rosey wine or a fruity wine; for mixed drinks I like margaritas and pina coladas. I do not drink very much alcohol because it make me talk too much and become very uninhibited.

The iced tea sounds really good! Though I don't often take home made iced tea, because sometimes it is not sweetened, which makes it taste bitter, mainly if it's made of black tea.
But.. this year we had a good recipe of Earl Grey tea, sweetened with mint honey and fresh mint leaves from our garden.
