I find that beer doesn't agree with me these days. In past years I've enjoyed a touch of brandy in tea, but it's not been my habit since discovering that I really enjoy a good stout. I want to pick up some brandy for my pantry, but am stuck with all of the choices in the store, and I don't know how to choose. I've taken to drinking chocolate yerbe matte and peppermint yerbe matte more than actual tea, and am looking for brandy recommendations. Also wondering if a good peppermint schnapps might be a good alternative. I know I USED to like blackberry brandy in black tea, unsure that would go well with matte, it is just so different

I hate wasting money on something I can't return if I don't like it - and I don't see a local bar stocking matte just so I can experiment So do we have any brandy lovers who also like matte with an opinion? I am pretty sure that schnapps is actually fruit brandy, and I've found in the past that I've preferred brandy made from fruit other than grapes. (OMG, our former priest made the most incredible brandy out of wild cherries!!!!!!)

Just doing my part to be ready for the cold winter
