Tea?

[meekon5]

My body doesn't work properly until I've had the first cup of tea.

My Dad was in the RAF so as a kid I pinched his pint tea mug and can't drink it in small quantities any more.

Whilst working in pubs and restaurants I used to make a pint of tea in a beer mug (as long as you put a spoon in as a radiator the glass doesn't smash with the boiling water).

It used to have a plastic bread label hanging from the handles with "Simon Smug" written on it.

I now have to make do with a soup mug (like this) as my tea cup.

We must have a spot of tea together sometimes, M5. Some good dude-like fellowship.

I really started getting into tea a couple of years ago when (gasp!) I was getting burned out on coffee. I love a good oolong blend and there's a black tea blend called Aha sold by a local merchant that really hits the taste buds.

Mint tea calms me. A touch of sugar. Vodka works too...

I like that idea DB. It may take a bit of organising but I love a challenge.

Too funny M5...

Tea, the drink of drinks. The tipple of champions.

As a proud Englishman, I find it inconceivable to start the day without a good ol' mug of char. A dash of milk and three sugars, if you please.

Also, a tip for any of trans-atlantic friends making tea for the first time, I suggest adding the milk before the hot water. It stops the milk scalding and going all frothy.

Nice to have you on board Rev Rudolph. Interesting tea tip you've got there. I've never really had tea with milk before...

[Bullett00th]

neat tip there, Rudolph, gonna have to try!

BrotherShamus, it's actually pretty good when sweetened. Just don't go adding stevia to it...

This hot beverage is the first one I have to drink to wake me up properly and nicely. Earl grey, one sugar, boiled water (no micro wave), no milk would it be added before or after the water.
It is much softer than coffee, which I find aggressive as a matter of taste.
I love to drink some during soft weather days.

It often surprised BnB owners when I visited new zealand, 'cause most of the british that I met were drinking coffee, and me, froggy, drank tea.

who microwaves their tea anyway?! o_O

I did, in my young age. Had to wake up to go to school, but woke up a bit late, so I didn't have time to boil water, so I warmed water in MW, then added the tea bag, and cooled it with cold water.

I was young, I was innocent...

tea boils in mysterious ways I guess...

A nice pitcher of iced sweet tea is what I enjoy. Nothing beats it. ('Cept maybe a caucasian or an oat soda.)
