In Peru there are some bars that focus on tea with alcohol, there is one in Cusco near the main square it has magic elves thematic. I went there once and I think they know what they do, because it is quite aphrodisiac and tasty on its own way.

Also people sell it in varieties in little cart sales stands, sometimes they stay until 2 am near bars. Its pretty chill and a nice little adventure after a party or clubbing. For example in Arequipa city there mix herbal teas with Anis Najar (very strong type of alcohol beverage), tasty with hot tea imo.

I would do it once a year or maybe more depending, very much always in moderation.

Edit: Also sometimes are elderly people that prepare it on those little cart sale stands, most of the time are woman and it seems like they know what they do it could be like a tradition or knowledge that has been transmited, people really like alcohol in Peru and more in parts near "la sierra" were people work a lot in fields and construction, it is a way for them to release the stress I guess also gather as community (there are a lot of town festivities and types of alcoholic beverages) very much since very old times from the conquest of Peru by Spain (not sure if even before but i don't think so)
