Tea or Coffee

[bobcat]

Tea, unless at a shop for coffee stuff, in which case tea looks like very poor value and then I go for the coffee drink!

Hot Coffee during cooler months. Iced coffee or Frappe once in a while when it is warm outside. .
Sweet iced tea year round. I haven't tried hot tea since I was a little kid. I might give it a try this winter.
I don't drink any of it on a daily basis but do consume my fair share of iced tea.

As I work with coffee that's my choice of drink throughout the day. Will either be a Latte, Cappo or normal strong with a dash of milk. Best enjoyed with a KitKat :-)
Don't normally drink coffee at home, love a strong tea at a weekend and best enjoyed with choccie digestives.

Do you work in Tutbury?

Usually tea, white, no sugar.

At weekends, maybe a latte with a pastry in a cafe.

When I visited my in-laws in GA and was offered iced tea, I tried it to be polite.
OMG!! How can you drink that stuff!

You have to mix in the sugar when it is still hot, then mix it with more water. I cant drink the stuff that is brewed, iced and then sugar added. That isn't iced tea, that is cold tea in ice with sugar added.

Anywhere around here any place that wants to sell any tea, brews and adds sugar while it is still hot A lot of places put so much sugar in the sweet tea it is undrinkable to me. They all also brew iced tea with no sugar. When out I have to order it by saying "iced tea half and half" , that means to mix the brewed sweetened tea with brewed unsweetened tea.At home I mix maybe a third of a cup of sugar in the hot brewed tea, enough to make a gallon of iced tea. Restaurants around here use MUCH more.

I stopped at a place to eat while driving thru Georgia and they just served iced tea and you had to add your own sugar, not sure if it is like that everywhere but that is a very big no no. It was some chain so I am not sure how it is in the privately owned and mom and pop places down there. If you get it made right it is good, if not it is pretty bad. There are only certain areas of the US that sweeten it hot while brewing it. The rest of the country has no idea what good iced tea is. It is an art and one that you may have to adjust to taste, even when not at home. I also only use Luzianne brand tea bags. It can be made with a couple of others brands too but it isn't quite as good.

Coffee. Black. Way too much of it.
Tea. Black. When I'v had enough coffee.
Tea. Green. As an when the fancy takes me.
Redbush. Red. Daily, at work x 2 or 3.

Always 'fresh' coffee early - mostly like this. (I'm a lightweight at this, but my son is 'embedded' in the regime.)
Not averse to drinking tea whenever it crops up, or I have a 'desire to dunk'!
Evening - if I get a chance, I might have a quick one, like Fnaar - redbush (Rooibos for the toffs). Or ginger, white, green, etc - don't mind really.
"Bottoms up, Fnaar - hope you enjoy a nice redbush at work!"

Coffee, absolutely not instant. I only take it black, no cocktails. Currently my favourite is Vietnamese coffee beans that is freshly grind.

Sometimes I use a blend of Vietnamese and Cuban coffee as a way to liven up the day...a 'Viet-Conga'

It's almost 8 o'clock and I'm still in bed trying to find the motivation to get up so I better make mine a strong coffee. I just need someone to go and make it for me.

I am up but I don't plan doing much else today! I have had my large cup of breakfast tea so I'm good!
I am going to adjust my bike later so may need a few coffees!
