Brown sugar in tea

josip

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?

No sugar, just milk please, thanks

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.

Surely you jest?!

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.

Bollicks , Irish coffee demands brown sugar

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

Brown sugar how come you taste so good?

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.

Try condensed milk instead of sugar ��

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

With sugar, tea is little more than hot coloured water with some milk and some sugar. Actually scratch that, with sugar it's complete piss.

Discovered this in Vietnam. Coffee drip filtered over sweet condensed milk, serve on ice or hot. Delicious.

I don't take sugar in drinks (maybe coffee the very odd time if I'm feeling mad) but yeah, that brown sugar you get in cafés and places is just dyed white sugar. It's actually more processed like.

It's actually sugar with some molassses added back in.

The real stuff is the dark brown Muscavado from Mauritius.

josip

I just checked our Dunnes Store bag of brown and it says "Unrefined raw cane sugar" on the side.

I sincerely hope you drink Lidl brand tea because with an attitude and a practice like that (sugar in tea), you do not deserve Barry's or Lyons

Most people. It might shock you but there are some people like things that taste sweet.

tis mad altogether I know.

I know people who put salt on their pizza! It is an abomination.

Fcuking disgusting. It's not right. Those people should be taken out and shot with balls of their own sh*te.

Edit: Hardly most people. A good proportion of people have taste and wouldn't be lumping sugar into their tea.

Adyx

Why would you ruin good brown sugar by mixing it with that disgusting tea ****e?

Putting Lyon's in the same sentance as Barry's is sacrilege.

Lyons is basically the dust they scrape off the unilever floor in Manchester after they're finished making crap English teas like PG Tips.

Aldi's ownbrand, made by Robert Roberts and Lidl's own brand made by Thompsons are both superior to Lyons but still vastly inferior to Barry's.

In order of Merit (a representative, not an exhaustive list).

Barry's
Punjana (Thompsons)
Bewley's
Lidl ownbrand (Thompsons)
Aldi ownbrand (Robert Roberts)
The ****e tea you had from the presso flask at that conference last week
Tesco Value








Lyons.
