Brandy in the tea

My Dad used to do it Doc, and the mother in law, it didn't do them any harm either, they both lived into their 90's, I haven't seen it being done in years.

In Spain they put brandy in the coffee and then light a match to it so it burns for a bit. Spaniards call it ... carajillo ...
