      "Candlekeep Tea is not actually served at the Hearth but rather a few doors down at the smithy of Khe'ril Hammerbind. The story goes that on one particularly ferocious winter storm night, some students, on the brink of death in their drafty bunk rooms, struggled down to the smithy to beg to sleep by the blazing fires of the forge. The grumpy dwarven smithy took pity on the students, allowed them a place on the stones, and made them hot black tea to warm them from the inside.",
      "Word spread of Hammerbind's kindness, and other students joined them that night, bringing with them gifts of strong liquor, exotic herbs, and even sugar and fruit. Hammerbind mixed the offerings to stretch the tea a little further, and Candlekeep Tea was born. Every time a storm hits, the poorest adjutants are welcomed to the forge for warmth, and together with Hammerbind, they make a new tea, a little different every time. The recipe below is a typical example, but everyone is encouraged to add what they can to the pot."
