When I was a child, children in the UK also got fed cordial -- or at least squash, which is much the same. (Never quite worked out the difference.) Most adults drank tea, not coffee -- my mother, who preferred black coffee to tea, was quite an exception.
I must get back to drinking herb/fruit teas -- I used to do it a lot but I've got out of the habit.
