Brown or White Sugar With Tea/Coffee? (Bovril?)

Hank_Jones

Every time I go to get a cup of tea or coffee somewhere there is always mountains of brown sugar, and generally less white sugar than brown sugar (as people are actually using white sugar).

Just wondering if there are actually people out there who use brown sugar in their tea/coffee/bovril.
Because I have never actually come across anyone who took brown sugar in their drink.

The brown sugar consumers are like the Freemasons. You're probably sitting beside one right now but you'd never know until you see them naked and look for the tattoo of a sugar cube.

I just put that in there for the Bovril minority.

Clearly nobody would put sugar in Bovril, I just wanted to recognise the group.

Are you not meant to put white sugar in tea and brown in coffee?

Sorry, I always do the sugar thing, didn't come to mind.

Feel free to alter.

White sugar for tea, brown sugar for cakes!

Also: Why the hell do coffee drinkers use the same spoon for sugar as they use for scooping out coffee grinds? I HATE getting flecks of Nescafe in my tea! :mad:

Demerara for me, just the one mind and brew the tea, not dye the water.

Hey, don't blame me.
Blame John Lawson Johnston, the creator of Bovril, for making it so damn tasty.

Bovril is on Sky News as we speak?

It can't get enough advertising as far as I'm concerned.

White sugar for me. Brown if there is no white, and we have some cinnamon sugar here too. Herself bought that though, for what reason? I do not know...

I only eat raw sugar.
White sugar is posionous and one of the most addictive substances around and is ubiquitous in our diet with many forms of sugar delivery systems from fizzy drink to chocolate to sweets to bread to beans etc. (brown sugar is usually just white sugar with mollasses added to fool people they're consuming a healthier option).
It has absolutely no nutritional value, addicts only taking it for the kick it gives, and profits only the manufacturers because of it's longer shelf life and only serves to cost society with the damage it causes to peoples health.
Disgusting.

Christ. Sounds like you are talking about heroin :P

I add white sugar to my tea and to the odd bowl of cereal I eat. I don't think that is going to kill anybody.

Like everything, too much of it is obviously bad, which is what that article mainly talks about, from what I can see.

I dont take sugar in tea but I will drink coffee when out and it is always brown.

Tea with sugar is one of the most disgusting drinks I can think of....it makes me gag.:(

BluesBerry

Brown sugar in coffee is delicious

No sugar in tea but it has to be extra strong with a dash of milk

Bovril yuck

stovelid

No to Bovril. I'm a chicken Oxo man myself. Sans sugar.

Sugar is coffee and tea. Don't care what type.

Double christ...

That's just insane...

I wonder are there many scientific unbiased studies about sugar. At the end of that article there's an advertisement for a book

I also wonder if they talk about sugar in buns and sweets, or just normal sugar? I mean, I eat very little sweet things, but I do like a spoon and a half of sugar in my tea. I don't have cravings or anything and don't know anybody that does. I have a few friends completely addicted to coke cola. They could drink a litre or two a day easily.

I'll always reach for white, but really I don't taste a difference between the two. Brown just takes longer to dissolve sometimes seeing as the grains are generally larger.

White in tea and brown or raw in coffee. I don't really know if there's much of a difference it's just a habit.

newmember2

Where's the 'don't care as long as it's sugar' option?

Brown in tea, white on cereal or anything else...although after reading MaybeLogic's link...:eek:

There's so many different types of refined sugar....(sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup (or HFCS), glucose, fructose, corn sweetener (HFCS), corn syrup, dextrose (same as glucose), fruit juice concentrate, invert sugar, lactose, maltose, malt syrup, sucrose, syrup etc.) ...in so many products that most people get enough irefined sugar to maintain their addiction and avoid the 'Sugar Blues'.

Mmm I take about 10 white sugars in my tea and none in my coffee.. I would rather go without the tea if there was only brown sugar there. I think it has a weird texture.. Ugh.

And yes.. 10 sugars.. Unhealthy/that's disgusting, "would you like tea with your sugar" yeah yeah I've heard them all!
