Aside from Lemon Tea, Nepali Tea, Chai and the infamous butter tea, the inhabitants of the Himalayas frequently mix their tea with various other drinks. One of the more popular ones in the Nepali Himalayas is Rum Tea, where you mix the national favorite, Khukri Rum with black tea and add a few tea spoons of sugar for good measure.
Needless to say, this is a potent brew and not to be recommended for high altitude, although a good reward after a grueling trek or climb! Kick back with your local Gurung, Tamang or Sherpa friends and give yourself a warm treat!
