Thats not tea. That is a mint infusion.

No, we do whatever we want. It's a free country. :mrgreen:

Lovely mint tea. Of course you have to have exactly the right variety of mint or mixture. A few Pineapple Mint leaves thrown in to any sort sweeten the flavour. There's one variety (only ever had it in UK) which smells like cat pee, so ..... don't use that one!

I just had some with Cypriot award-winning honey. Superb combination. All Cypriot ingredients, incl. water from Troodos.

...wow, just brilliant; like a glass of spruce beer with maple syrup, or an apple cider (there are so many kinds) warmed with Saskatoon Berries, original, distinctive, and taaaaasty.

My fave KEAN juices are the 5- and 7-mix varieties. Apricot juice with anything is great.

Also, love the Cherry Juice but it feels like too much of a treat as I still remember my mum telling me off for finishing a jar of her preserved cherries (glyko).

I reckon you are a Canadian and I am a Cypriot.

Cheers!

the last time i had a drink of KEAN was in Cyprus; is it sold in North America?

...as for the honey, if you get it from your village, you are lucky.

I doubt it. When I used to live in the US, the only Cypriot product I could find was some low quality halloumi. :roll:
