Starlit Court Food and Drink: Difference between revisions

Esquire: Technically, esquire is a type of beer known for its particularly low alcohol content, averaging around 4.5% abv. Esquire is treated more like a soft drink than alcohol, and is served to anyone regardless of age. However, when a member of the Court refers to Esquire, they are referring to Lower Lakelands Brewers’ Esquire. The Lower Lakelands Brewers Esquire was the first esquire beer, originally made by the head brewer for the nephew when their knightly order refused to serve their squires alcohol due to concerns of most beers being too strong.

Double Dew Transcendental Drizzle: A recent product of a Sihian startup, Dew Fog Ltd, inspired by their experiences with a variety of alien cuisines. Brewed from an absinthe base and a range of micro-grains gathered from across the sector and fermented using a custom designed yeast procured from the Children of the Vein. Due to Dew Fog ignoring the purity standards that Sihian custom dictates for being defined as beer means that despite DDTD being quite obviously a beer it is marketed as a carbonated absinthe.

This tea is brewed using the petals of the Devil’s Rose, in scalding hot water with sweet oil. It gives off a nutty, earthy smell, the taste is nutty with notes of smokey citrus and caramel along with a soft ginger undertone. It’s commonly served at tea time with a single spoon of sugar or a drizzle of honey and soft biscuits or scones.

According to legend, Cotion Elixir was originally created by the High King to supplement his troops' rations. An extract from the meat of Cold Ones, ground into a paste, it is most often used to thicken and add flavour to gravies, soups and stews. Some members of the Court like to dissolve Cotion in warm milk to create a salty savoury beverage. It is said by those who enjoy this as a drink that it build’s healthy bodies and it is common among some parts of Sihi that grandmothers will give this to children in the hopes of encouraging them to grow big and strong.
