I like hot tea once in a while also. 🙂

I'll have an occasional ice tea, but don't consider myself a tea drinker per se. Although I do like half-snd-half with lemonade, watered down because it's otherwise too sweet.

Depends on tea and mood:
Black tea+milk
Earl Grey usually + milk
Lady Grey usually just warer
Mint tea just water
Chai depends on mood - may be water only or with milk
Jasmine + water only

I try to steep it so that there is never a need for sweetner. If it needs to be sweetened, I just dip the tip of little finger in for 1/2 second and it's sweet enough. Cough...cough....gag

At Chinese restaurants: Hot, unsweetened, in one of those handle-less cups.

At home, winter: Hot, always in bags, never bulk tea, usually sweetened with Splenda or similar.

At home, winter: Iced, prepared in gallon batches: 16 bags in 1 pint boiling water. Steeped 6 minutes.
Poured into gallon pitcher with 14 cups water and 2 cups Splenda.

My father was a tea gourmet. He'd go to a local spice shop and buy tea in bulk, and he had a special tea ball he used to infuse it. Myself, when I get really lazy I buy instant tea and make that.

Below: My favorite tea. It's not for the taste (it's a plain old oolong), but for the name.

got to be Yorkshire tea

yes, pg but never heard of barries.

Until you have had Nerada you haven't had a black tea.
The best tea that I ever tasted was Darjeeling Vintage. It seemed to only be available for a year or so and then disappeared. The leaf was a greeny color and dry rolled into a cylinder. Infused it opened up to the size of your little finger nail. Exquisite!

I use stevia alone if it's one of the concentrates or a brand that has a fairly intense sweetness. Most brands do not, and so I add some aspartame, which having a different flavor profile, intensifies the sweetness more than using either alone.

@Crimson67 Guessing you're from the good ole natural sugar/honey or nothing at all camp? The only other viable choice for me would be nothing at all which I find to be the bigger eeekkk. Sugar, honey, Splenda, Sweet N Low, Agave don't agree with me healthwise.

@Crimson67 Never heard of it. Will look it up.

@MrLizard Yes, moderation is key. Even the best tolerated and healthiest substances might contain harmful additives/impurities/contaminants.

I’m from the south the only way to drink tea is sweet ice tea

I'm from the south. Iced sweet tea flows through our veins..

If using a tea bag, boil the kettle but wait until it boils and there's no more sound coming from the kettle. Pour the water over the tea bag and leave it for up to 3 minutes, squeezing the bag once or twice. Once the tea bag is removed, I pour in a little milk.

I have just read your post ... I,m ashamed ! Tea Bag ? Milk after ? Have you had some sort of aberration man ? You need help .

@Crimson67 they are supposedly good when cold for putting on your eyes - and without milk having been added.

@MarcIveson You obviously misread the first word of my comment. It is not I who needs help.

I brew my own peach tea.

As someone with anosmia, coffee is far more preferable to me anyway.

I just made a post about tea 🙂.

But whatever made you interested in how we drink our tea.

Anyway, I mostly drink tea with about 5 breakfasts a year, I drink it with sugar than, and sometimes when someone offers it to me, I drink it without sugar or other additives. I'm not a real tea-drinker.
