How do you take your tea or coffee?

[Lunar]

I don't drink coffee. I drink chamomile or green tea with no sugar added. I sometimes drink it with a bit of honey, but I prefer the simple tatste of the herb.

[MisterTinkles]

I don't know that!
Is it like syrups for coffee?

No, not syrups....more like flavored cream.

It looks and pours like cream, but its flavored.

[MisterTinkles]

I think Lalo drinks man cream in his coffee.

LMAO

Tea, with milk - not too much, so it's quite dark and still hot, with half a teaspoon of sugar.

[Tyler]

Tea must be sweet. I am from the south so it is a must. Coffee usually with just creamer.

[Xela]

Agreed, tea should be sweet. I prefer plain dark coffee, though.

[Lilitu]

I actually don't like too much sugar in tea sometimes. I think it makes it taste kind of funny.

If it's tea it has to be made right... No one knows how to make tea. If it's regular gumboot tea it has to bee steeped for about 3min and then with the smallest about of milk! If it's any other tea the water has to be the right temperature and has to be steeped for 3-4 min any longer and it'll taste too tanniny.

No, tea should be 100% natural without sugar or milk added. If you want sugar and milk then drink milk and eat sugar. :tongue:

No one is obliged to ruin a perfect cup of tea by dumping sugar or other sweet stuff in it. :tongue:

The correct way to make tea is to boil water (in a kettle), pour a bit in the tea pot to heat the pot, add the tea, pour hot water over the tea - seep a few minutes until the desired strength, pour into pre-warmed cup, enjoy.

Preheating the teapot and adding the hot water to the tea releases the flavor faster than the tannins.

Now days people just pour hot water over a tea bag in a mug, the water gets cooled to fast, thus slowing the seeping process releasing the tannins. Worse is those people who plop a tea bag in a cup, add COLD water then nuke it in a microwave. The cold water really releases the tannins way before the color and flavor.

Its an art form, and I fear its becoming a lost art, few people actually have a tea pot nor a kettle, those who do happen to have a tea pot don't pre-heat the damn thing. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk....
