Description
the most incredible thing I have ever found on the Internet is that polish tincture (the translation from polish name of all the beverages of this particular type - nalewka) has its own site on Wikipedia, instead of redirecting me to tincture. here you have it: [link] I am amazed. and let me be clear - it is not made with vodka, it is made with 96% spirit mixed with water (usually 1:1, which gives you a beverage of average 45-50%, yet with vodka it tastes different.) if you make it with vodka, you may as well not be Polish
oh, yes, well, the photo is taken today, this is a home made (by mum) wiลniรณwka. too many polish letters? it is cherry tincture.

it is strong, so one small glass is enough. not to be drunk though, just to feel warm inside ;D and also i don't like the taste of it after all
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, I know that warm feeling...so good 
right, just one drink to warm up is good kinda like when you go skiing and drink after ski peppermint schnapps (sp?). Oh, I'm remembering so many things now

woah, i love peppermint and i believe peppermint schnapps (googled it, it is correct ^^) must be awesome.
i used to love drinking (not very long time ago, but still, some years have passed ^^) peppermint tincture with apple juice. i guess it is the correct name - tincture, because in Polish we call it likier, so almost like liquor, yet I believe that liquor in English is the name for all the types of tinctures, wines, vodkas and so on, is it? anyway, the Polish 'likier' is usually sweet, not very strong (20, 30% tops). and the combination of peppermint and apples - magnificent

Funny thing...I don't like peppermint but that's what everyone drinks after skiing so I used to have some too. I really prefer the Peach Schnapps but they are all really great.
Tincture "likier" is an apertif? Tincture...right, I remember hearing this word before. Yeah, not usually very strong, you are right. It mainly tates good and gives a warm feeling.

I don't really know if it is an aperitif, I guess you can drink it this way. I usually don't drink anything to dinners, or suppers, I just go to the pub and drink while meeting, talking with friends. I guess wine could be better, because as you know, tinctures are sweet, so probably not the best option for dinner. but you can try

I usually drink water for most of my meals but sometimes I do drink a soft drink. Usually I don't even drink liquor though,except when I go on vacation or somewhere special. Occasionally I drink a beer (or wine) at home but that is very rare too. Lately, I even cut out my morning coffee

well, quite lately i got used to drinking tea with my breakfasts and suppers.
also i am sooooo not a morning person. i get up late and stay up late, so completely opposite to you. also, the thing which i believe is connected with my more night kind of life, is that i don't usually have breakfast during the week, simply because i get up late and don't have that much time. also i am used to it, so i just cannot eat anything in the morning, i find it really awful, it just doesn't taste good. ;d
i tried studying in bed, but it just doesn't work. bed magically makes you sleepy in no time. it is just like the second you get in bed, you are meant to be asleep not so long after
have a great day as well!

What? You don't eat breakfast? Oh, that's not good for your body though. If you get used to not eating well then no wonder you're not hungry and food doesn't taste good. The key is to get your body used to eating breakfast again...no matter the time you wake up, it is breakfast and your body and brain need nurishment after working so hard on repairing and maintaining "the systems" Oh, try and eat a little something even if it's just an apple or something and this way your body gets used to it again. Maybe even a soy drink?
Yeah, I'm not a night person unless I have to be. I mean, if I'm invited to a party or if I'm working on something that has to be finished then yes, I can do it. Otherwise, I'm an early bird (chirp, chirp, chirp). yeah, we are apposites *scratch head*
Tea is good. I love chamomile, lemon, ginger, cinnamon, peach and some of herbal or specialty teas like Numi Organic Tea is really good and my favorite is Rooibos Chai

maybe during the summer, as I wake up at normal time, like 9am, then I eat breakfast, because I don't have to rush anywhere and I can prepare the things I like, the way I like it. but when I'm at univeristy during the schoolyear, I wake up as late as I can to get myself washed, dressed and go to classes. then I don't eat breakfast. I do though in the break between classes, it is not like I don't it 'till the dinner. I guess it is a matter of laziness really, because if I was less lazy, I could get up like half an hour earlier to eat something in the morning. but I am a lover of sleep, so to me it kind of sounds like crime
my friend works at a tea shop and she has all kind of teas with different additional ingredients, like flowers, fruits, different blends mixed together and all that. she also sells pretty good coffees, but I don't drink coffee (not at all, like once or twice a year I have my coffee with milk, sometimes just to keep company
