Tea
« on: August 11, 2011, 12:27:06 AM »
In all these years, we have never talked about tea.

Please list 2 to 6 of your favourite teas and tell us how you take it: strong/weak sugar, lemon, milk, honey... do you use your Beau Peep mug or prefer a fine china cup & saucer? Do you prefer bags or loose leaf, do you like to make a single fresh cup or make a traditional pot? Do you use a cosy, if so what is the design? Do you have a set time or drink when the mood hits you?

What are your favourite nibbles with your cuppa?

Even the smell of tea makes me want to puke!

I imagine that you won't have a favourite then?

A cup (not mug) of tea, two sugar, no milk.
I don't eat biscuits, sweets or chocolate but I like my tea and coffee sweet and, in total, I have no more than three cups/mugs a day.
I am not a dunker and have lived a dunkless life.

You're just weird.

Tetley (Earl Grey at night), with milk but no sugar. I might have a biscuit with it.

If you don't have tea in a mug, who's the 'I' who has no more than three cups\mugs a day?

This thread isn't as exciting as I had hoped it may be.

I have afternoon tea. strong, no sugar, a wee drop of milk, at home in a pot, then a mug or cup, always milk first. PG tips is my fave!

At work coffee, because the tea is so bad, vending stuff. I like a rich tea buscuit, I dunk.

Coffee in the morning. black no sugar. no snacks with coffee.

how did I do?

Heaped spoon of Gold Blend, two teaspoons sugar, easy on the milk.

When I get out of bed.
With breakfast.
When I'm thinking what to do for the day.
With lunch.
If I get a phone call that I know is going to take longer than five minutes.
When I feel like one!
Two or three in the evenings.

Coffee-drinking visitors get offered Mocha, fresh from the espresso machine.

I like a nice hot cup of tea in an earthenware mug. (Except that it should be a glass, instead of a mug, and without a handle. Also, it has to be cold, not hot. Oh, and instead of tea, the contents should be beer; yes, a nice cold glass of beer.)
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟
