Sounded cool to me so I got the shou wu chih and went to a local African grocery store and found a bitter kola drink (couldn't find the kola tonic where I am at). Well the shou wu chih tasted like some e&j and the bitter kola tasted flat (maybe it wasn't supposed to be but the bottle was old and dusty). Next time I will try use the kola tonic or at least some fresher bitter kola. And possibly another chinese energy drink similar to shou wu chih.
Who here is familiar with any of these items?
2. Another drink I saw was bissy (kola), chocolate tea and maca powder. Something else to experiment with later on.
3. Another drink I want to experiment with is a combo of NAC, methionine, taurine, flax oil mixed in water. Maybe a good alternative to the energy drinks but without the sugar and no caffeine if you don't want.
4. Familiar with kola nuts? You ever had them before? What you think about them?
