anyone any suggestions on what to drink it with? *wanders off with a burning gob*
MMMM -My favourite liquer - with the coffee beans it is named Sambuca con Mosca which translated means 'with flies'. There are many continental liquers based on aniseed but this is by far the smoothest.
I find sambuca too sweet. Any ideas on making it less sweet without adding fruitjuices.
Alternate sips with extra strong unsweetened espresso - this thread is making me salivate (slaver to you
)
I like most anise drinks
I used to love a large pernod in teh top of a pint of dry cider. Or with lemonade over lots of ice.
I got leathered on Ouzo one night in a bar in Benllech whilst at Uni. Amazing as it had no affect till we walked outside then no one could stand up!
I also like teh licorice baseddrinks liek Galliano

Worst hangovers ever on any annisette drink ,Sambuca, Pernod, Ricard, Ouzo , etc. even 12 hours later you take a drink of water and you are s**tfaced again, (think its because of the high sugar content)
a tip I learned many years ago , never drink a drink you can't see through . e,g, Bushmills and water , no problemo . Cheap red wine .....bad head following morning

Galliano is to die for, i once drank nearly a whole bottle of that whilst at richards one night, and 'forgot' to replace it, Glayva is lovely too
sambucca tequila and tabasco sauce............

Sorry should have said I don't like the coffee taste in anyway shape or form. I've always liked lemon or lime to de-sweeten things, but still find some things too sweet with them added.
I drink lots of coffee - I am technically addicted to the stuff.
I now understand why
Coffee is Good For You
It enhances the effect of the paracetemol I have to use for osteoarthritic pain. (rosehips are said to be good for osteoarthritis pain too - recently started use - but like any natural remedy, it takes time to feel the effects)
Margaret, Have you tried rubbing olbas oil on the affected joints. I've found it to be very good with my arthritis and it's all natural. You can also get the olbas bath lotion. Not as strong an affect, but still good.
I have Olbas for inhalation, but use Comfrey for application to skin. After reading your post I found this on the web--
"What is Olbas Oil used for?
Olbas Oil is a blend of pure plant oils for the relief of bronchial and nasal congestion, hayfever and minor infections of the respiratory tract by inhalation. Olbas Oil also relieves the symptoms of muscular pain and stiffness including backache, sciatica, lumbago, fibrositis and rheumatic pain by application to the skin."
My neck and shoulders are worst and the Olbas smell is much stronger than Comfrey, but I will certainlly give it a try - thanks
PS sorry mods for getting off topic a bit
