In Europe
In Italy, the tea, known as carcadè, is usually drunk cold and often sugared with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Introduced while Eritrea was an Italian colony (from 1860 to 1941), once its use was much more widespread. In other European countries, it is often an ingredient in mixed tisanes, (especially with malva flowers or rose hips in the mix, to enhance colouring), and as such, more commonly used than recognized.

Famous quotes containing the word europe:
“Positively I sit here, and look at Europe sink, first one deck disappearing, then another, and the whole ship slowly plunging bow-down into the abyss; until the nightmare gets to be howling. The Roman Empire was a trifle to it.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“In Europe an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn’t working, he’s a bum.”
—Anthony Quinn (b. 1915)
