when one of them walks on the keyboard I always send it just in case. Climbing the wall would be something Ducky would do too, hes a big mess sometimes.

Sometimes?


I drink sleepy time tea......so I'm all warm before bed.


The other kind I drink is this peppermint stuff, I always add more mint extract to it, though!

Since I'm into a VERY delicious apple spice herbal tea I won't have any honey in mine. Although if it's plain old green tea I like to have some honey in it, especially if it's strong. I think I'm gonna brew some apple spice right now

I like both plain and sweet tea, though sweet is better. My current favorite tea is Arizona's "Stress Rx" tea.

I've never heard of putting milk in tea. I'm not sure that even sounds good to me.

I have never heard of it either. Never. It doesn't sound like a good combo to my tastes either.

Does the milk go in hot or cold tea?

Since marrying Keith (who's from the UK) tea has become a staple at our house
I like it with a little milk, although tea with cream and a scone is nice.

I like English or Irish Breakfast tea brewed really strong with a dab of half and half (or whatever milk is on hand)

I like Sleepytime and green tea straight up

I like peppermint sun tea (brewed on a summer day out in the sun) straight up

I like my regular chai with soymilk and my green tea chai with light vanilla soy milk

I chose with artificial sweenener only but it just depends.

I like my iced tea with a very small amount of sweetener or none at all.

Hot tea, I like it sweet.. And when I have a sore throat, sweetened with honey and lemon juice.

Being from Missouri and that area, I drink sweet tea, preferably iced. I do like it other ways and other teas, but I always come back to this as my fave. Daphne tries to drink it! Have to have it in a covered mug now - think she's a little caffeine addict

After reading this thread I had a craving for "sweet" tea. So on Saturday I made myself a pot of tea with Splenda and milk in it. I just finished it today. I sure didn't enjoy it very much, but I can't stand wasting things so I drank it
I'll stick with just milk from now on.

Funny though. Years ago I always drank tea or coffee with milk and sugar/sweetener. Not sure when or why I stopped adding sweetener. I have tried to eliminate the milk from both too, but I just can't. Even if it's just a little milk in it, it seems to cut down the bitterness.
