I will add a fewdrops of stevia or a little honey.
How do you drink your tea?
- Thread starter edenri
- Start date
Where do you get your stevia? Around here people seem to think it's illegal, and what I am asking for is akin to cocaine or something.
For me (I'm serious this time):
When I make pitcher of tea - 3 family size black tea, 3-4 small green tea (both Lipton), plus Splenda/sugar blend
If making hot tea:
black - usually honey or splenda
green - varies: sometimes with honey, sometimes splenda, sometimes straight
other various 'flavored' - honey or splenda
I usually just use lipton from grocery store: I drink waaay too much tea to acquire a taste for the expensive stuffs, though they are good!

that's hilarious
For black tea, just a splash of milk.
If I'm having a rough or early morning, I'm partial to Peppermint tea with cream and sugar...
For green tea, a drizzle of honey.

+1 ouch for the Python reference! 
I like Twinings Earl Grey, straight.
One thing I learned from watching Japanese tea ceremonies is to be sure your cups are pre-warmed with the remaining tea water. Keeps everything nice and warm for a good long time.

Still hanging in there after 300 years of satisfying customers
. Sadly, I've yet to develop a taste for Earl Grey. I wonder if I'm just not a fan of bergamot orange or have yet to discover a blend I prefer (shrug).Warming the equipment also prevents solids (e.g., tannins) from separating out, which can result in cloudy tea.
Just a spot of milk.
I really like Twinings Earl Grey and Ceylon Breakfast
In fact I'm going to go make a cup of the Ceylon right now.

Extremely sweet & on the rocks.

You know it's going to be a long day when you spend five minutes trying to figure out who would serve hot tea over ice.
Seriously, before I got to college I didn't know tea came in anything but two varietys: tea and un-sweet tea! 
However, since then my tastes have grown:
most black teas: straight
earl grey: straight or a little milk
greens: straight or a slice of lemon
herbals: straight
iced: with enough sugar to kill most creatures
Lately, I have been on a bit of lapsang souchong with a bit of yerba mate kick. I blend it myself as I just happened to have both and it seemed like a good idea. Hmm, time to make some I believe.

I don't add anything to tea. I'd rather savor the natural flavor. Mostly green and black tea for me.
To me their is only one rule, never add suger, sometimes honey, milk or a dash of lemon is good.
Right now i'm enjoing my Lady Gray with an Montecristo nr.2

I hate coffee and only drink tea. I dont have milk in my room bc I dont have a fridge, stupid rules, or honey, or sugar, so I have grown accustomed to drinking tea straight. I like it and it is probably the best way to "get the flavor" as you say.
Generally speaking, I like my teas like good marriages ... unadulterated.
On occasion, I will do the following. Mix 50% strong, dark tea with 25% milk or cream and 25% scotch. This beverage is then stored in Thermos-brand thermos, taken aboard a small fishing boat, and then drunk in a choppy sea and (hopefully) wind and rain from a mug which has been rinsed out in the ocean moments before (and not dried.)

I prefer to drink it unadulterated, just like my coffee.
