This is the way. But milk teas and boba tea is pretty good for a tea mix drink.
How do you take your tea?
"Well, usually I take it right back to the counter, because someone's made a horrible mistake." - Ted Lasso
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
(small amount of sugar, Sorry Cap'n)
βTell you what, Gromit lad, letβs have a nice hot cup of tea, hmm? The kettle should be boiling by nowβ¦β
-Wallace, A Grand Day Out
Green, any herbs in are fine, no flavorings.
hot, straight, not oversteeped, served in a small Asian-style teacup without handles
I mostly drink either a strong black tea blend (something that is neither too malty or astringent) with a bit of milk and sugar, masala chai, or a Chinese green tea like a Tie Guan Yin or a jasmine pearl.
I also love a good bubble tea, usually a simple pearl milk tea with less sugar.
I have something to say that will change the way nearly every American on Lemmy will perceive the world
I dont like tea... and I'm a brit.
And thatβs okay. ;)
Classy with the pinky up.
Depends on the tea. Black tea with a little milk is the classic, bonus points if loose leaf
In the harbour.
Sweetened, doesn't particularly matter with what. Though I think my favorite has been a honey/citron/ginger tea from Costco. No caffeine, but the flavor was immaculate.
Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.
Black tea is good, I leave the bag in the whole time
Preferably liquid, but I wouldn't say no to solid or gaseous forms. Would probably not try to ingest it in plasma form.
Mostly black, but after living in the UK for awhile I got used to doing a touch of honey and/or milk.
Not German. I mean that. Any black tea you drink in Germany just doesn't mix right with milk. The colour goes grayish and you taste more the milk than the tea.
English black tea mixes impressively well with milk. Breakfast Tea, Yorkshire Blend, hell, even Earl Grey -- the colour goes a deep vibrant brown and the tea taste and effect is intensified.
I'm neither joking nor exaggerating.
Earl Grey with honey and oat milk. Orange Pekoe/English Breakfast with sweetener and oat milk. Chai with milk. Or a straight herbal tea
Strong black tea with a wedge of lemon (but I messed up my teeth so now lemon would make them very sensitive).
White tea. A blend of jasmine silver needle (floral, fragrant) and darker mou shei to balance it. Plus ginger and lemon zest.
Large cup, ^4^/~5~ black tea, ^1^/~5~ milk and a small spoon of honey.
I of course have a deep love for coffee, I am always trying to get myself more into tea but usually it just doesnβt do it for me.
I do like green tea quite a bit though.
Any recommendations for non-dairy milk that goes well with black or green tea?
Milk and sugar. In the UK they'd refer to it as "builders' tea".
Depends how many sugars. At least three heaped teaspoons should qualify, two is borderline.
Hot. No sugar. Black as my heart.
Yes I was an emo during my teenage years, how did you guess?
I like mine bitter, idk why but I like water that's bitter but hate bitter on everything else
Personally, I only drink iced-tea. I just can't handle bitterness at all, and I prefer cold drinks to hot ones anyway.
I've found Peace Tea is the best, but its kinda expensive, so I tend to buy those big tubs of GoodHost IceTea powder and make a jug of the stuff every couple days.
Good leaves on the right temperature. Nothing added. Tasty, healthy, and calorie free.
Unless making very specific a milk tea, then add milk. Don't do it too often, it ruins the last 2 points mentioned before.
I was going to make a joke about this being a trick question, as caffeine is poisonous to lemmings, but my preliminary research suggests that rodents and humans have a similar tolerance.
For most of the year, Assam (loose leaf) with a splash of milk; when it's available, first flush Darjeeling.
Depending on the tea, usually I like it plain no sugar, no milk. But I do make chai almost everyday with 2:1 milk to water and some ginger or cardamom depending on what I feel like. Also a fan of milk teas.
Strong, with quite a lot of sugar, and only a little bit of milk, so that the tea I end up with is a chocolate color π΅
Twisted.
Depends entirely on the tea, but, if black: at home it's usually hot, with a half to a full teaspoon of raw sugar and a splash of milk. At work it's usually just hot and straight, no sugar or milk. If green: hot, sometimes honey and lemon, usually just straight. If herbal: hot or chilled depending on the temp outside, no sugar if hot, a bit of sugar if chilled.
I drink a lot of fuckin tea.
Up the butt, same as everyone else /a
(Actual answer: with a bit of honey and sometimes milk)
2 decaf and 1 caf Lipton bag in a pot of boiling water, let it steep for 10 minutes or so, then pour the lot over ice into a gallon pitcher and fill it up the rest of the way with cold water. I then pour it into a glass of ice and drink about half a gallon a day.
Black.
I'm not a huge tea person but I've always liked the celestial Tiger tea with milk and honey
Sunned and dry on the rocks
Black, no flavoring aside from the tea, brewed strong with a small splash of milk and 1-2 tsp of sugar for a large mug.
