Re: OT - looking for a relaxing drink, non-alcohol

I may be wrong, but I think Jasmine tea is green tea with dried petals of Jasminum sambac [common name is Arabian jasmine]. J. sambac is also used to flavor jasmine rice. You would need a greenhouse to grow your own.

It tastes like dirty water to me too. About the only tea I can stand to
drink...that is a TEA....is Jasmine tea. Now...somebody will probably
tell me it's not real tea. O.K., well...they serve it in my favorite
Japanese restaurant...so to me it's tea. It's smells good and tastes
good...but I don't make it very strong.

Jesse,
I've always hated tea - tasted like dirty water - except for the tea in
Asian restaurants. so I now will occasionally drink green tea at home -
not bad! And it is rumored to be good for you, antioxidants or something
like that. I don't know about its caffeine content though.

Man...with the stress I've been under lately...my "one glass" of red
wine in the evening has turned into SEVERAL glasses of red wine. Gotta
stop and relax. I'm looking for a good tasting tea or beverage that
would be a good substitute. I don't drink regular tea...and don't like
most herbal teas. They taste like you mowed the grass and stuck it in
hot water....and you're supposed to like that? Ughhh. I don't want the
caffeine and I don't want alcohol....HELP????
