Jagertee is an invigorating drink made by mixing rum into black tea. It is popular in cold parts of Central Europe. Although Jagertee is easily concocted, ready-made mixtures which also contain sugar and spice are sold in shops.

The name Jagertee (or, alternatively, Jagatee or Jägertee) derives from the German Jäger "hunter" + Tee "tea". Some rural establishments also serve Wilderertee ("poacher's tea"), which is even stronger. The drink has also been sold under the name of Grog in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Jagertee has become a very popular drink while skiing, also among tourists.
