How do you take your tea?

I like any kind of hot tea, which I sweeten with sugar.

I love almost any tea on the planet. Hot, cold, sweetend, and other wise! All depends on my mood. Jasmine tea with some sweetener. English breakfast with milk and sugar. Green with honey. Tropical with ice. I love it all!

Hot peppermint, with honey if I've got a sore throat or am feeling bleh.

I can't have any caffeine, so I stick to herbal decaf brews. I like them hot, warm, or iced. If hot or warm - I drink them plain. If iced I'll sometimes add some simple syrup. (Sugar dissolved in water.)

If I add anything it would be honey and usually in the summer time as the honey helps to re-hydrate a person.

But I still think it odd where people add things to tea to make it taste "better". But I was raised in a home where natural was best.

All tea is awesome, but it HAS to be loose leaf. A bit of milk and a *smidge* of sugar or honey, if it is black. I have black most often. For all others I take it straight. I do drink quite a bit of herbal to help with tension.

I love all kinds of tea. I have a huge collection here, and the most I drink is Earl Grey with honey. I do like to brew it and ice it in a pitcher for later. I find it way better than coffee, as it doesn't upset my stomach as much.

I take my green tea PLAIN and hot, and only high quality! I do love green tea infused drinks like green tea lattes though, but if I'm just going to drink tea, there BETTER not be anything in it.

I drink a lot of herbal teas for health reasons, I usually throw a packet of honey-ginseng powder in and maybe some agave or honey to cut some of the less pleasant flavors. Some (like my allergy tea) I prefer plain because it's naturally a bit sweet anyways.

Has anyone quoted Picard yet? Well then let me break out the nerdliness: "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." ~Jean-Luc Picard.

I do really love Earl Grey (my favorite black tea), but since I get mine naturally flavored, the flavor doesn't last as long as a flavor clone, so I only get it in small amounts. English Breakfast I buy at about 5lbs at a time, as I drink it hot and hubby drinks it iced.
