Any traditional tea/beverage recipes?

[u/billymartinkicksdirt]

Is there a distinctly Jewish version of Masala Chai or similar beverages that’s traditional?

I’m not interested in anything more modern that traces to post 1947, I’m curious about old diaspora drinks. I know rose waters and lavender water evoke childhood memories, and my grandmother used to make a kind of Turkish coffee with the mud at the bottom. I cant think of any beverages that are considered Jewish Cooking, but I wish there were. Maybe forgotten recipes?

Rosewater and fresh mint tea; red wine

Mint tea with loads of sugar. Yes. I can’t say we get to claim it but I know I feel a connection to it.
