Talking of mead: I had some yesterday that was surely five or six years old, and never had a better one. Actually I didn't really drink it, I needed it for cooking, but I had to taste it first But there's a glass left....

Must have been a great taste, Seana. I had a Lapin Kulta tonight.

Cold tea. I make a big pot of tea in the morning (2 - 3 liter). I prefer a not too strong mixture of Vervaine, Moroccan Mint and fennel fruit with a large spoon Agave syrup and a shot lemon juice. In the evening, I've tested my homemade liqueur, very good, delicious! Much too tasty! I slept very well. For some time I think about to make homemade mead. But if it goes wrong, it is very a pity to the honey. So, I'll continue to create liqueur... I love the Karhu beer. From the Swiss beer, I like the hemp beer and Monsteiner organic SteinBock beer. "Stone beer: The Celts heat the wort in the wooden barrels with hot stones, where the malt sugar caramelized. As smoky aromas of caramel made during maturation. The Bock beer is an alcohol consuming beer with a variety of complex flavors. The Monsteiner SteinBock beer is created from the merger of these two beer specialities. The special manufacturing process with mountain spring water with organic barley and Swiss aroma hop gives this beer dark colour and typical taste. The SteinBock beer is a bottom-fermented, unfiltered beer of barley with 6.5% vol. Recommended serving temperature 15 °C."

That sounds very interesting, Sveitsin susi. I´m now having some ginger tea. It´s very spicy which feels good in this heat...

I like very much this fruity sharpness of the ginger, which is very beneficial. Yesterday, I had a great pot of chopped limes with some cane sugar and a lot of ice and water. And just now I've mixed cranberry juice with water (1:3 or 1:4), which is very refreshing.

I have started to give even a pinch of salt to it. Just when it's so hot and we must drink much, then such mixtures of tea, juice and a pinch of salt are very good.

Tonight some "Rekorderlig", a Swedish cider with the taste of wild berries. It´s very sweet, but from time to time I like it.

It's a Finnish Brandy, usually I don't drink it, I need it for other things, but I had a sore throat and it helped very good for that.
