How do you drink your tea?

philologos

Perhaps a bit of a random question, but I'm genuinely interested all the same :pac:

Generally, I drink it sugary, and with a very small amount of milk.

What about you? (Poll to follow)

-boil the water,allow to cool for 3-4 minutes and then pour over sencha green tea leaves.
-or earl grey,with a few drops of goats milk and half a spoon of demerera sugar.

Adding water or milk to tea just dilutes the flavour.

For me, I just eat the tea-bag.
Cut out the middle-man of the water & milk.

& besides those who do use water are just pawns of the kettle industry!

Its also how I take my pot noodles.

I like my tea like I like my women.

Ground up in my freezer.
Full of cocaine.
Hot and black.
Milky.

Milky with sugar

Fairly milky,no sugar. No sugar at all. My friend tries to catch me out when we're at her house,she puts a sugar in my tea in the morning,and I notice every time. It's disgusting,can't stomach it. I like it strong,too,even though it's milky,if that makes any sense.

almostnever: Gah, no. I can't have it milky at all. I can tolerate it black. I put so little milk in that people have asked me why I don't take it black, but believe me it makes a difference

Even the tiniest bit of milk makes the biggest difference! If I have even a little bit too much,I gag.* Too little,I gag.* I'm so fussy with my tea :pac:
Black tea is rotten,I have actually tried it. And herbal tea,yuck!

*slight exaggeration...

Call Me Jimmy

When I moved out of my parents house I started drinking tea with no milk because then if I'm out of milk I could still have tea without going to the shop. So now the only time I can't have tea is when I'm out of tea... or all the cups are dirty.

Dudess

Not a lot of milk, with sugar

A bit stronger than average, barely any milk.

Milky tea is more disgusting than I can describe.

icanhearjimi

No milk, no sugar

Good and strong, with a drop of milk and 1 canderel. Usually accompanied by either 2 slices of toast, or with a couple of rocky bars or fox classic bars,
yum.

With no cup, not afford one.





With a lot of milk.

Sugary and Milky but it still has to be piping hot so it's a rare day I make that perfect cup of tea.

I didn't realise how much I loved tea until I spent 5 months without it in the U.S.A.

Tea = Yuk

I put honey and lemon in my fruit teas.
Drink my mint green tea plain.
I like my Irish tea, lyons with lots of milk and sometimes honey.

Always always make tea with just boiled water.

jif

with tomato sauce, crisps (as croutons) and some emmenthal.

^That.

moonflower

Strong, small drop of milk and 2 or 3 sugars depending on the size of the cup or bowl (we run out of cups fairly fast). I don't mind black tea but I can't stand really milky tea, even looking at it makes me feel sick

Yeah, me too. I might use half of one of those carton thingys if I'm in a cafe. More so cos I like my tea hot.

Four sugars. Yes, four. And a bit of milk.

I like sweet things.

I know you're taking the piss with the pot noodles comment, but they actually are lovely straight out of the packet. Well, maybe not pot noodles in the cups, but super noodles or whatever's in the packet.

Guess it's not the "done thing" here, but back home all the schoolkids get packets of super noodles, add the little flavour packet, shake it around a bit and just eat them like crisps.

I always weird everyone out when I do that here..

So I guess it goes somewhat like this.

1. Place tea bag on tongue.
2. Boil kettle.
3. Pour water into mouth.
4. Add milk?

How efficient of you!

That's not right, at all :eek:.

As for the tea, bit of milk's the way to go, and a small bit of sugar.

tea... from a bowl? that sounds amazing:D
must try that one out, although i have had tea from a glass, now that was weird!

I leave my tea bag in the water for a while so its really strong, and then add a good bit of milk, not loads now, just enough to cool it down. And no sugar. Sugar should never have been allowed into tea!!!!:mad:

Damnit now im dying for a cup...

It's nice. It's incredibly common where I grew up. Though I've found the noodles over here are kind of crap. The brand Mr. Noodles is great for it.

You're just not a hardcore tea drinker, I mean, there's extreme ironing, and then theres extreme tea drinking! :pac:
