Love tea!!

Hot tea. Herbal. With a half pack of Splenda if anything. Particularly like Orange Spice or Apple Cinnamon.
Particularly like Orange Spice with a shot of Triple Sec, creme fraiche and a sprinkle of cinnamon.  :drool:

Rarely drink iced tea, though I really like Arby's blackberry unsweet tea.

Used to drink a lit of iced tea....but after 3 lumpectomies, I was told to stay away from the tannin as much as possible, and it isn't as bad in the herbal teas.  :(

The best cup of tea I've ever had was made by my friend's Irish husband.  I don't know what he did, but something about the ratio to the milk, sugar, and tea was just perfect!

I like tea in general, but I tend to drink more black tea than green tea, and herbal tea is usually just for when I want to relax, or when I want something warm with no caffeine.  Chai tea and Earl Grey are my favorite black teas.

When I discovered coffee was what turned my gut into a seething pit of lava - I switched over to tea.

Now I drink a few cups a day slightly sweet with milk.

If it's hot tea, it's unsweetened and no creamer of any kind. Normally, if I am drinking hot tea, I'm ill. As for iced tea, I prefer it sweetened, but I have to use an artificial sweetener. I will drink it either way.

Black tea I like sweetened with honey.  I also brew mine with fresh grated ginger and top it off with milk.

Green tea I prefer straight up.

Then I drink a variety of herbal teas.  Teas with a lot of mint or licorice I prefer unsweetened.  Teas that have some sort of fruit flavoring, like I Love Lemon or the high anti-oxidant grape/green tea mixes I like with honey.

I like all kinds of tea.

I saw some TV show where they were serving tea mixed with lemonade... they called it 'muddy water'.  It sounded tasty.

It's good if you like tea and you like lemonade. I do.

True, Arizona Iced Tea pre-makes canned ones and I have a couple in the fridge right now.

I really love hot tea when I'm in the mood for cozy comfort, and I can drink herbals or decaf at night without it keeping me awake .. Earl Grey with Bergamot, Blood Orange, Peppermint and if I'm feeling really fruity  :naughty: Black Cherry
