French Beverages?!
Any French drinks that you know of that are alcohol-free? Or good alcohol subs?
Thanks!! ?
Answers: Me and my 4-H group are doing an international cooking project that I have chosen to do French cooking. I want to make a beverage and I've been looking around online for a good beverage, but they are all alcoholic. Is there any good substitute for Alcohol? Some recipes call for brandy, but i cna't serve that because I and the people i'm serving are all minors.

I'm afraid there isn't a beverage in France that you would drink at dinner other than water or wine. Also, minors are offered alcohol in France. If it's for lunch, water. And if it's for tea, you can offer "sirop," that being concentrated fruit juice that one would mix with [sparkling] water.
I'm not sure what you could replace brandy with, but maybe just exclude it? I don't know what would happen taste-wise if you cooked it.
if you actually have to make it then i don't know, but if you can buy it then Perrier or they drink Coca cola a lot in france. I'm not sure if this helps but i hope it does.
Go with sparkling grape juice.
You may be out of luck on this one, I watch Food Network all the time, and other than coffee I can't think of a single French drink!
cafe au lait (coffee with milk)
Limonade (lemonade made w/fresh lemon juice, sugar and water)
Not sure how "authentic they are, but the French Sodas are popular. Take sparkling water, add ice, add flavor syrup and a dash of cream. mmmmm. This is the best
