Seems interesting, is this a hot or cold drink?

It's fairly common at the German northcoast and on the islands. People there usually use black tea (any brand), rum (4 cl) and brown sugar. The rum I have seen used is called "tea rum" and comes in small bottles that are sold in tea and souvenir shops. The drink is called "Ostfriesentee".

Hey and Ho,

In Ecuador, and most likely other places throughout South America, a strong distillation is made from sugar cane, to which is sometimes added the peels of fruits for flavor. This stuff is available in liquor stores and supermarkets and the like for not very much money by US standards. Better is to hop up (or down) to a town such as Canicali, where families engage in the cottage industry of preparing the brew in vats and barrels and stills, and sell said brew at somewhere around fifty or sixty cents (USC) a litre. Tastes damned good too, maintaining some of the cane essence, and packing a wollop, the fruited version being somewhat tamer.

I brought some decent oolong down with me this time, not to mentioned a nice YiXing Gung-fu pot, which hit the table every other day or so. One day I started off with the tea, but some of the aforementioned liquid found its way to the table inadvertently, causing something of a mix. Not that this has much to do with the questions you guys raised about tea and rum. But, it's the best I can do by way of contribution.

For context let me add that I just returned from Ecuador where I spent nearly six weeks. Let me also say that I purposely misspelled the name of the town in order to keep the source private.

This is served hot or cold?
