I have tried coffee, but I find I hate coffee. It's an obvious sign when you are using 80 percent French Vanilla creamer and 20 percent coffee.

I'm sorta the same. But it is more like 40% creamer and 60% coffee. I think this is called a latte. I don't drink coffee regularly anymore, but if I can get it free I've been known to indulge.

I do love cream/milk in yerba mate tea with honey. Yum. Yum. Yum.

Anyone here tried making tea out of really good catnip??? I hear it is suppose to relax you and make you sleep.

My thinking exactly... i wouldn't bother with the recovery drink unless going hard for an hour at least.

Saying that, hot chocolate...with real milk is a nice drink(carbs, anti-oxidants) while waiting in the cold.

Some folks can't drink coffee... because of the caffeine... and coffee without caffeine is just colored water... hardly a recovery drink.

Fishymamba, did it come with a secret decoder ring for you to listen in on Orphan Annie's messages?
