Hmmm, what goes first, the bag or the water

[brad-the-bear]

the bag

[blacktulip]

i have one at around 9.30am, one about 1pm and one around 4pm. i make mine in a certain way, yorkshire tea bag (the best by far) and blue top milk in first, then hot water straight from the boil. then 1 and a bit of sugar. then a splash more milk. i dont let anyone at mork make my tea because it never tastes right. although i make them tea.

Mmm warm the cup add the tea bag then the water. Steep for a minute, remove the bag then add the milk and sugar. Happy days.

If you are worried about it being good for you, you should probably drop the diet bubbles.

On a slow day at work the tea will be more or less continuous. Easily 8 on a busy day.

Coffee all morning, Tea all afternoon, Fosters all evening

Coffee all morning, Tea all afternoon, Fosters all evening

Three staple meals a day. Sweet!

[M J W J]

1-2 for breakfast
1 mid morning when at home
1 for lunch
2 in the afternoon
1 with dinner
1 just after dinner
another sometime in the evening
1 around 10 o clock

and then about 1 every hour if I need to stay up and finish work

On average about 8 cups a day. I get withdrawal symptoms if I go for more than 24 hours without a cup of tea. Not joking I get really bad headaches and feel ill. I spent most of today without tea and was shattered by 3 o'clock.

I always make a cup of tea when I get back from a night out drinking. Usually make it in a pint glass so I can make it bigger. The Indian guys on my university course always ask me if I am hung over when I have tea at university. The very first day of my Msc I walked into the lecture really hung over (to be honest still drunk) with a cup of tea in my hand. I was the only English guy on the course at that point. Our lecturer (who is french) he worked with an English guy on a project who was always coming in hung over and did nothing but drink tea at which point about 30 people spun round and looked at me with my head down on the desk.

Whatever that is, it is NOT tea.

[minimarco]

Cream of earl grey is just a smoother blend of the tea, with bergamot oil (it's an orange that's more like a lemon than an orange) and bits of vanilla bean in it.
Instead of sugar, I use a sugar syrup with vanilla beans soaked in it. and instead of putting cold milk in, I heat and froth it with an espresso steamer. If that makes more sense.

This is the best random thread I have seen in ages

I like one at breakfast but dont always have time, 10am, lunch time, 3pm, tea time and bed time, unless, as stated above- there is beer instead!

[sonikk4]

Frothy milk in tea, how rude. All of that sounds like something you would get from Starbucks or America.

I have to admit i have tried Earl Grey without the rest of the concoction mentioned and its an acquired taste is all i can say there.

When i lived in Germany trying to find normal tea was a bit of a nightmare until i realised Schwartz Tea or black tea was pretty much as close as you get to what we call tea. Still it was not PG Tips or Yorkshire tea.They had really good coffee so that sort of made up for it.
