Answers.Body: <p>In Northern Germany they handle it in the following way. First they take rock candy and put it into a glass. It can be brown or white rock candy. The glass is filled up with brown rum which has a Vol% between 38 and 40 of alcohol. It is possible to mix and use it immediately, but most people just put it aside for a while. </p>
  
  <p>After some time the fluid of rum becomes glutinous and the surface of the rock candy becomes soft. When this mixture is in that status they put some spoons of it into the cup and fill it up with black tea. Could be from Ceylon or comparable. When filling up with the hot tea the rock candy crashes internally and when mixing up the tea with it all it becomes a wonderful experience especially in wintertime.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>Hot mint tea goes great with rum. Almost any kind of rum will do it.
  This is a beverage that is drunk usually in the cold season and you can find it at the chalets near the skiing spots (as rum keeps you warm).
  In Romania if it's winter and you get to one of this chalets and ask for &quot;a tea&quot; it is possible that you will automatically get an alcoholic tea without any notice.</p>

  <p>Cold oolong tea with shochu (usually barley) is a very common mix. Also, jasmine tea with awamori is an Okinawan favorite. Both are light, easy to drink and refreshing. If there's a Japanese market near you, you can probably get both the liquor and tea there.</p>
