'''Jagertee''' (also '''Jägertee''') is an alcoholic punch historically made by mixing [[stroh|"Inländer-Rum"]] with spiced [[black tea]].<ref name=2tb>{{citation|title= Jagertee recipe (archive version)|url=https://www.austria.info/uk/things-to-do/food-and-drink/favourite-austrian-recipes/jaegertee |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929233311/https://www.austria.info/uk/things-to-do/food-and-drink/favourite-austrian-recipes/jaegertee |archive-date=2018-09-29 }}</ref> It is served warm and is typically consumed during winter in the cold parts of [[Central Europe]].<ref name=ltb>{{citation |title=Little Tea Book |first=Rose Marie |last=Donhauser |publisher=Silverback Books |year=2007 |isbn=978-1-59637-074-6 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9mS-6xfbS80C}}</ref>

Although Jagertee is easily made at home, ready-made mixtures which already contain [[spice]]s and [[sugar]] are sold in shops. The Austrian rum ''[[Stroh]]'' is often used for making it; this [[brand]] also produces its own ready-made variety.

Jagertee has become a popular ''[[après-ski]]'' drink,<ref name=ltb/> especially among [[tourism|tourists]] in the [[Alps]]. Jagertee carts sell the beverage outside at ski resorts and winter festivals.

==Etymology==

The name ''Jagertee'' (alternatively ''Jagatee'' or ''Jägertee'') is derived from the [[Austro-Bavarian language|Austro-Bavarian]] pronunciation of the standard German ''Jäger'' "hunter" + ''Tee'' "tea". According to [[European Community|EC]] Regulation 110/2008, Annex III, No. 32, it is a [[Protected Geographical Status|Protected Designation of Origin]] reserved for the beverage made in Austria.<ref>{{cite web |title= Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the EuPopean Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1576/89  | work=Official Journal on [[EUR-Lex]] | publisher=EU Publications Office | url=http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2008:039:0016:0054:EN:PDF | access-date=2009-07-15}}</ref> Therefore, varieties made in Germany are sold under names like ''Hüttentee'' ("hut tea") or ''Förstertee'' ("forester tea"). It has also been sold under the name of ''[[Grog]]'' in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Some rural establishments also serve ''Wilderertee'' ("[[Poaching|poacher's tea]]"), which is even stronger.
