If you are a tea drinker, how do you take your tea?
Having dated a girl from Hull who I still concider an awesome amazing person I learned never to put strings or staples in my cup She even decorated an old coffee can to remind this tea challenged American it says, “U.K. Tea bags, No Strings! LOL”
As someone with anosmia, coffee is far more preferable to me anyway.
I just made a post about tea .
But whatever made you interested in how we drink our tea.
Anyway, I mostly drink tea with about 5 breakfasts a year, I drink it with sugar than, and sometimes when someone offers it to me, I drink it without sugar or other additives. I'm not a real tea-drinker.
I like it C-O-L-D!! Even in the dead of winter.
I only drink tea when I feel a cold coming on, but I just want to say,
"Earl Grey, Hot."
If it's black tea, it had better have milk and sugar in. Any other kind depends on the tea.
If I am drinking hot tea, then it is just tea. If I am drinking Iced Tea, then it is with lemon.
I like my tea like I like my women - all natural.
My favorite homemae mix is half teaspoon Indian vanilla black tea, half teaspoon jasmine green tea and a pinch (few pedals) of dried hibiscus. Makes a wonderful rosey color.
Mmm All natural you say? Have you found any yet who admit to farting in their sleep?
I'm sure that the colour is gorgeous but what about the taste? It sounds like peanut mush with Vegemite.
Depends on tea and mood:
Black tea+milk
Earl Grey usually + milk
Lady Grey usually just warer
Mint tea just water
Chai depends on mood - may be water only or with milk
Jasmine + water only
At Chinese restaurants: Hot, unsweetened, in one of those handle-less cups.
At home, winter: Hot, always in bags, never bulk tea, usually sweetened with Splenda or similar.
At home, winter: Iced, prepared in gallon batches: 16 bags in 1 pint boiling water. Steeped 6 minutes.
Poured into gallon pitcher with 14 cups water and 2 cups Splenda.
My father was a tea gourmet. He'd go to a local spice shop and buy tea in bulk, and he had a special tea ball he used to infuse it. Myself, when I get really lazy I buy instant tea and make that.
Below: My favorite tea. It's not for the taste (it's a plain old oolong), but for the name.
