Brown sugar in tea

    The last time de mammy was visiting we put out brown sugar with the "tay".
    De brudder hummed and hawed until we eventually produced some white caster sugar.
    We don't have any other white sugar.
    De mammy gently informed me afterwards that it's white sugar for tay and brown sugar for coffee. Not in an anal way of course, de mammy would never do that.
    Although it's not the done thing to ever doubt the mammy, especially in matters as serious as tay, I have to ask the good people of boards, which sugar do you put in tea?

    Brown sugar should only be used in cakes and biscuits.

    It should never be used in beverages.

    Might be how you talk, but that's no excuse to write like that.

    What's the point of drinking tea with any sort of sugar? Completely ruins the taste of it.

    Brown sugar should be just a less refined version of white sugar but these days it's just white sugar with colouring agents to make it look brown. It makes no difference which one you put in your drink.

    Take your sugar and shove it somewhere, it's rank.

    No reason whatsoever to take any kind of sugar in tea. Tastes much better once you get used to it. If you really need to sweeten your tea then you probably need to get better tea. Obviously I'm referring to proper Irish tea. Inferior English style teas may require it to mask their flavour.

    That should be of greater concern than the type of sugar.

    Irish coffee is a special case, and personally I think it should only ever be poured down a sink.

    Sugar in tea is mank. Ruins the taste, it just tastes of sugar! Same with coffee.

    No, real brown sugar is available but those little packets just contain white sugar and died white sugar.

    If you want actual brown sugar you'd have to check the pack and make sure it's actually brown sugar.

    Without sugar, tea is little more than hot coloured water with some milk in it :p
