I like hot tea with honey. If it's iced I like sugar and lots of lemon

Particularly if Honey is sitting on my knee sharing! And as for iced with sugar and lemon only if you let me choose the receptacle for drinking it from. ???

Just had a cup of ginseng tea with sugar infused with ginger and a few chunks of the ginger.

got to be Yorkshire tea

yes, pg but never heard of barries.

Until you have had Nerada you haven't had a black tea.
The best tea that I ever tasted was Darjeeling Vintage. It seemed to only be available for a year or so and then disappeared. The leaf was a greeny color and dry rolled into a cylinder. Infused it opened up to the size of your little finger nail. Exquisite!

Chai black tea with milk and sugar. Or berry tea with sugar.

Love tea - all of it - from green through black. Most of the time plain. Occasionally with a touch of honey or if I am impatient a frozen slice of lemon to cool it just a bit.

With milk and no sweetener. How would I vote if I took both? (But I prefer coffee anyway.)

@Crimson67 What a good idea!

Sun tea is the best. If I have it fresh, a sprig of mint makes it just that much better.

@Crimson67 In a 1-gallon glass container a lid is preferred, fill it with water add about 10 tea bags set the jar in your yard or on the porch for about 24 hours. Let the sun warm the water. Some people let it brew in the sun for 3 days.

@Crimson67 You can use an infuser as well.

@SweetHarp Just curiosity have you noticed if this happens with the tea bags that are stapled?

@Crimson67 Technically it is cold brewed tea, without the refrigeration. It does not need to be set out in the sun to brew, I set mine on the kitchen counter and it brews quite nicely over 12-24 hours. Good method for making a larger quantity (like a gallon) that avoids the bitter taste that sometimes comes with not brewing a concentrate to get a quantity of cold tea. It does make a smooth tea with the least amount of effort, IMO.

Honey, honey. Lol

Being a Brit, tea runs in my veins. Black tea, with milk and sugar. Neck tar of the gods!

I like my tea like I like my women: lukewarm and bitter.

Lmao You're welcome @resserts I prefer mine passionate, rational and full of differing flavours

@atheist did she also say to you after making love "George, the ceiling needs painting?"

@FrayedBear no, she said, Nice pillowcase.

Just like our beer !

@MarcIveson Flat?

Just a slight step up from cold and bitter, I guess.

@FrayedBear like my women ! ,

I use stevia alone if it's one of the concentrates or a brand that has a fairly intense sweetness. Most brands do not, and so I add some aspartame, which having a different flavor profile, intensifies the sweetness more than using either alone.

@Crimson67 Guessing you're from the good ole natural sugar/honey or nothing at all camp? The only other viable choice for me would be nothing at all which I find to be the bigger eeekkk. Sugar, honey, Splenda, Sweet N Low, Agave don't agree with me healthwise.

@Crimson67 Never heard of it. Will look it up.

@MrLizard Yes, moderation is key. Even the best tolerated and healthiest substances might contain harmful additives/impurities/contaminants.

I liike all kinds of tea very much. I mix two bags in a mug, like peppermint and green tea or blue berry and black tea, and so on.

2sugars first , drop of milk , breakfast tea so strong you can stand your spoon up in it ( builders tea ) . also used to be known as ' gunfire '.

Leaves thrown into steel mug and boiled over burner, paint stripper or suspended over brazier. Still reheat that way.

If using a tea bag, boil the kettle but wait until it boils and there's no more sound coming from the kettle. Pour the water over the tea bag and leave it for up to 3 minutes, squeezing the bag once or twice. Once the tea bag is removed, I pour in a little milk.

I have just read your post ... I,m ashamed ! Tea Bag ? Milk after ? Have you had some sort of aberration man ? You need help .

@Crimson67 they are supposedly good when cold for putting on your eyes - and without milk having been added.

@MarcIveson You obviously misread the first word of my comment. It is not I who needs help.

traditional sweet iced tea, or any kind of tea hot with just a little bit of honey.

Back home I used to really enjoy High Tea at the Queenston Heights restaurant overlooking the Lake Ontario Plain.

After voting I kinda realized that this may fall under Sugar Substitute but I add local honey to my tea.
