Jagertee (alsoJägertee) is an alcoholic punch historically made by mixing"Inländer-Rum" with spicedblack tea.[1] It is served warm and is typically consumed during winter in the cold parts ofCentral Europe.[2]
Although Jagertee is easily made at home, ready-made mixtures which already containspices andsugar are sold in shops. The Austrian rumStroh is often used for making it; thisbrand also produces its own ready-made variety.
Jagertee has become a popularaprès-ski drink,[2] especially amongtourists in theAlps. Jagertee carts sell the beverage outside at ski resorts and winter festivals.
The nameJagertee (alternativelyJagatee orJägertee) is derived from theAustro-Bavarian pronunciation of the standard GermanJäger "hunter" +Tee "tea". According toEC Regulation 110/2008, Annex III, No. 32, it is aProtected Designation of Origin reserved for the beverage made in Austria.[3] Therefore, varieties made in Germany are sold under names likeHüttentee ("hut tea") orFörstertee ("forester tea"). It has also been sold under the name ofGrog in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Some rural establishments also serveWilderertee ("poacher's tea"), which is even stronger.
