Drinks of Gor

ALE: (Noun): Gorean Ale is closer to a Honey Lager than to an ale or beer. It is a deep gold in color. Ale is brewed from the grains of Gor and hops imported from Earth in the early years.

Rence Ale: Specialty ale from Port. Similar to Japanese saki

  Book 9: Marauders of Gor page 26

  It is traditionally served in a tankards or mugs; gorean ale is darker in color than rence ale and a bit sweeter in taste. Found in very large casks in the serving area; do NOT try to pick up a cask to pour from. They have a spigot on the side of the cask where you can draw the ale from; this is a drink you would draw at the SERVING AREA. Carry carefully to serve from the feet of the Master/Mistress; when you draw the ale, tip the tankard to ensure a br>large head does not form.

BAZI Tea:
First method:

      1. You go to the hearthfire to check and see that the water is boiling. If there is not enough water, refill the kettle.

      2. You go to the storage shelves and get the traditional teapot with three cups. The cups are small and delicate. The pot holds about 6 cups and is also delicate porcelain.

      3. You take the pot to the kettle and fill it. Allow the water to warm the pot and then dump it back into the kettle. Refill with boiling water.

      4. You take the pot to the storage shelves and put in two or three pinches of leaves.

      5. You place a large portion of white sugar in one cup, yellow sugar in a second cup, and mixed white and yellow in the third cup.

      6. You take the tea and the cups to the client. Pour a cup of the tea so that the client can see the contents, sniff and look at the color to be certain it is fully brewed. Finally, pour the second and third cups and serve each of them to the client, who will drink them in rapid succession.

  Second Way:

      1. Three cups are placed upon a tray, with these is placed a bowl of white and yellow sugars. In an tea pot is placed hot water, this is also added to the tray, with a smaller canister containing the bazi leaves. All of this is taken to the Master/Mistress.

      Now, the tea may be either brewed in an teapot or leaves placed directly into the cups and water poured over them.

      2. Into the first cup of tea is placed yellow sugars, into the second cup is placed white sugars and into the third cup is placed both white and yellow sugars.

      3. Each cup is presented to the Master/Mistress individually, and each has a specific meaning: these are past, present, future. When presenting each cup, a kajira or kajirus should mention each of these, with words appropriate, for example:

      Past; May this tea remove all that is the past bringing about a healing, helping to strengthen the Master/Mistress for the months and years ahead. or words similar to those,you should always use your own words, show creativity. The same should be said with the second and third cups but signifying present and future.

      4. Each cup is taken in turn. Serving bazi tea is a long slow process, but, when the Master/Mistress takes it, it is generally drunk down quickly more of a ceremony rather than just serving a beverage.

      When you prepare the tray you should always say: "a bowl mixed with white and yellow sugars"

      1ST cup --symbolizing the past that has been
      2nd cup-- symbolizing the present and what is
      3rd cup -- symbolizing the future and that which will be

    ivy's personal preference is the second method. ivy feels that it creates a wonderful atmosphere, and it pleases the Free Person.

BLACK WINE:  -(Noun): Blackwine is made from coffee beans brought back on one of the early Voyages of Acquisition, this is the same as the coffee of Earth. On Gor, the beans are grown on the slopes of the Thentis Mountains. They are smaller than the originals. One of the differences in Blackwine is that some drink it as they would regular coffee, but others are going by another discription. one of the major differences is that black wine is thicker then regular coffee, according to a reference a friend of ivy's gave her when she first came to Gor, it is said that blackwine is somewhat syrupy and sweet; if someone drank a large mug of blackwine it would keep them running for at least a month, imagine 3/4 of a pot of coffee grounds brewed with one pot of water.

  -Book 11: Slave Girl of Gor, page 73 and Book 10: Tribesmen of Gor, page 89 Book 16: Guardsman of Gor, page 245

  Blackwine first slave: with cream and sugar is also known as "en kajira"

    Dark, it is usually black with sugar. or a tiny splash of cream. You need to ask in serve if they wish it no cream or a splash of cream.

    Tanned, is enough cream to make it a nice Tanned color.

    Light is enough cream to make it very creamy and light.

  Sugars of Gor: The only two sugars of Gor are White and Yellow, they normally come in a rock formation,like your rock candy of Earth. There is a mistake on irc Gor in which many have said it was red or yellow sugar. According to ivy's resources and she has checked many, red sugar is actually salt. can you imagine pouring salt into a Master's blackwine.. *cringes with the thought* ivy avoids any reference to red sugar. and always serves white or yellow.

    White sugar: is like the sugar on Earth but in rock candy style.
    Yellow sugar: has an almost bitter flavor according to ivy's resources also in rock candy style.

  Hint for remembering which is First or Second Slave:
    This little story was told to ivy, to teach her the way to remember which way is first slave, also known as "en kajira" and which way is second slave also known as "se` kajira".
    It is said that in the beginning when blackwine was served it was served by two slaves, the first slave getting the cup, mug, sugars and creams and then putting them into the vessel, and the second slave got the pot of blackwine and poured it into the awaiting vessel. So it be came associated with first slave as with sugars, cream or both. and second as strong and black.

  ivy's suggestion for conflict with blackwine is as follows: on irc Gor most people associate it with coffee. and therefore it is usually served in a mug. The only time ivy usually uses tiny silver cups is if she knows that the Master or Mistress wants it that way.
    Sometimes, if ivy knows that the Master or Mistress is having it with sugar and cream she will serve it in tiny silver cups if she knows that they have no preference and she wishes to impress them, but as she said because of the differences unless the Master or Mistress gives an indication that they want the desert blackwine she treats it as coffee. Irc Gor is very hard, because in most cases they do not follow closely to the scrolls and you end up getting into alot of trouble so ivy has learned safety zones, and how to interact with both without *usually too much trouble.

  One of the Main Rules A Master or Mistress is Never Wrong so if they ask for something that you know is not of Gor or of the Scrolls, give it to them anyway and do not question it will save you a lot of heartache.

  Vessel to be served in: If serving as Earthern Coffee, use a mug. Otherwise if serving desert blackwine, or wanting to impress when serving blackwine first slave, use brasier, with silver pot and tiny silver cups.

    First slave: usually fixed at the Master or Mistress's feet. but could be fixed in servery if you knew Master or Mistress wished it that way.

    Second slave: prepared in servery
