Hmmmm....  If you make it with a higher concentration of sugar in order for
preservation qualities wouldn't diluting it on site work?  I'm not horribly
worried about indoor events as I just usually drink water but at outdoor
events I want hot liquids!!!  It's a bit nippy here most of the time (thank
god for Flemish garb, very warm).

I'll probably still sneak my Chai in the A.M. but weren't tisanes more
medicinal than anything else?  i.e. not commonly served with a meal, etc.?
