There is a non-alcohol version of grog called Virgin Grog:

Ingredients:
cinnamon 2 whole cloves 2 cups granulated sugar
Hibiscus tea 3/4 oz. lemon juice lemon twist
1 cup water

Steps:
1. Stir lemon juice, simple syrup (see Tips, below) and cloves into an Irish-coffee glass or mug.
2. Fill the rest of the mug with hot Hibiscus tea.
3. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top and garnish with a lemon twist.

Tips:
To make simple syrup, heat 2 c. sugar in 1 c. water. Stir until sugar is dissolved and the water is boiling.

There are different versions of ale, meade & grog. Ale is basically beer (the European version not the American version) & meade is basically honey beer. Of course, depending on who you talk to, you will get different versions.
