    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)

    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.

    No milk, sugar
    Super Strong no sugar and get the eyedropper out for the milk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭Gear9992


    Can't beat a bit of brown sauce.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    I like my tea like I like my women.

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

    etc...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,768 ✭✭✭almostnever


    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.

    No milk, no sugar
    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 :D

    Black. No sugar.

    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! :p

    *slight exaggeration...

    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.

    A bit stronger than average, barely any milk.

    Milky tea is more disgusting than I can describe.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 340 ✭✭jif


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 292 ✭✭benj

    ^That.

    No milk, no sugar
    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.
