Winter is the most “tea-drinking” time of the year. You never like the very idea of coming out when it’s cold and if something makes you leave your home you can’t wait to go back and get warm. And a cup of good strong tea is the best way for this.

On special occasions you can add some cognac or rum to your tea. If you have a bit more time you can make some real punch or grog. One may call it barbarism to make cocktails of selected estate tea. But we know for sure once taking a fine sort of tea as the main ingredient we will make our cocktail most special and refined. Here are three simple recipes we have prepared for you:

• Grog. Melt sugar (to your taste) in a glass of freshly made strong tea. Add a teaspoon of cognac and a tablespoon of rum. Serve this drink hot.
• Tea punch. Mix rum 50g, water 150g and 1 egg yolk. Add one tea bag and warm till it starts boiling.
• Dutch tea. Put 4 teaspoons of tea into 400g of freshly boiled water. Make 400g of cocoa (without milk). Pour it into food processor bowl with tea and 100g of orange syrup and mix. Serve in cups with grated chocolate on (50g).
