Coffee?? Phaw! How do you like your TEA?

[Lisbeth]

Tried Earl Gray, but didn't like the anise flavor it had.  Does Lady Gray have that same flavor?  If not, I might try some.

Bergamot flavor, not anise.  Lady Gray also adds lemon and orange peel.

[Drik]

Me and I'll proudly claim it!

I've taken to making my chai the old fashioned way.  And seriously, it is SO GOOD.

You boil your tea leaves in a pot (yes boil!) for a few minutes.  Then you add whole milk or soy milk (I prefer soy actually!), sugar if you want, and let the pot boil for a few more minutes.  Strain, and serve!

Zomg, so good.

Old-fashioned chai with soy milk.

I also drink apple and cinnamon tea with honey

[Shana A]

Either of them straight.

Can we still use that word nowadays?   (Just kidding!)

I think we need a converter like the AFA used to automatically change all references of "gay" to "homosexual". How about all references to "straight" are changed to "heterosexual" from now on >

OK, so go three blocks, turn left, then go heterosexual for two miles until the stop sign

Sometimes I like tea - Earl Gray - hot.  Sometimes Lady Gray.  Either of them heterosexual.
Most green teas like Oolong are good heterosexual up also.
...

Hmmmm...  I guess I would have to say that if I wanted Earl or Lady Gray that way, I would prefer them to be bisexual.

  Thanks you two for giving me my laugh of the day!

Thanks, I hope you weren't drinking anything, such as tea, near the keyboard

lol @ the title of this thread. "Phaw!"?  Whatsername, you're too cute by half.

My favorite is China Black. I like things with a little bite to them. At night I like something herbal, like Sweet Dreams or Sleepytime.

Unsweetened iced tea is yummy too.

Stealth, stopping everything for tea

[whatsername]

That's so funny, because I just saw "chinese black tea" as a choice yesterday at a cafe and had never heard of it before.  I think I read it was a yunnan, that is strong stuff!

[BeverlyAnn]

I like my tea the southern way.  Sweettea (yes in the south that's one word) with lots of lemon.

[Constance]

Oolong, green, and jasmine tea I drink straight.

For herbal teas, I usually drink lemon or Wild Berry Zinger straight. But, I'll usually add a little sugar to mint tea.

Oh, yes!  I remember the first time I ordered ice tea in Atlanta and was faced with the question, "regular or Yankee?"

[hizmom]

i like chai hot or cold, soymilk if you please ( no ice in the cold, makes it too watery)

i LOVE green tea cold with honey

herbal teas too, just a bit o'honey

jasmine tea i like with a bit of milk.....and honey of course!!

[April221]

I have always LOVED a good, solid cup of coffee. I've been roasting and grinding my own beans for years! Puerto Rico produces an excellent crop, although it's in short supply as most goes to the Vatican, but there are many other varieties and estates world wide that reliably produce fine beans.

I only drink two cups a day, but I expect those two cups to be of sufficient body, fullness and complexity of flavor to carry me through the day or evening. For me, tea just doesn't do it.

[Pica Pica]

whats all this faffing with tea?
You need a proper builder's tea.
you get yer bag of typhoo, pour boiling water on it, two tiny drops of milk and then squeeze the teabag.

  Oh... my... god... That's wonderful!

[Aiden]

Depends

Green tea (sometimes with mint) :  Sweetner

Chamomile Tea: Honey

Lemon Tea: Suger

Peach Tea: Plain or with Sweetner depending on brand as they taste different

[Ciarquin]

I haven't really tried many different sorts yet unfortunately. I usually drink bergamot-flavoured Earl Grey tea with some milk, sometimes honey if I have sore throat. Green tea I prefer without anything added. Lemon Ice tea is nice as well, but most are sweetened, which I really don't like. Guess I'll have to make my own.

[Hypatia]

Organic fair trade.
Hot.
Green.
Naked.

Q. Hypatia, do you mean you like the tea to be naked (i.e. with nothing added) or you drink it when you're naked?

A. Both. As long as I don't spill any on me. ow.
