I quite like rooibos tea but it makes me queasy

I thought I might be being fanciful but a South African colleague told me her husband’s family had the same reaction

Shamrock tea has a bit more class to it than "gnat's".

I don't have a reaction, Sue. But I'm not keen on Rooibos although I really wanted to like it.

Tony's cold powerdrink in his sports bottle when he's in swimming training is pineapple juice and green tea. If he's not in training it's mint tea & green tea together.
Both are delicious.

If my pal's wife offers a drink I am in dangerous territory.

Tea and coffee are indistinguishable.
They are both nothing more than brown milk

She does not drink alcohol so you receive either a bucket of wine or a g&t that blows your head off.

Cripes, that's a dangerous friend to have, Wordsworth :lol:

How are her cookery skills? Equally dodgy?

Fortunately she cooks quite well.
Sadly her forte is puddings which I usually decline.
Much prefer a plate of cheese
