Tea or coffee?

Kitsune

I’m just finishing my 3rd coffee of the day (I really need to cut down again!) and just wondered what hot drink other people prefer? Are you a coffee drinker or do you prefer tea or perhaps you like herbal tea (good flavour recommendations welcome!) or something else? How do you take your tea/coffee/other. I drink strong black coffee with no milk or sugar but with half cold water due to sensitive gums; I don’t drink tea but do drink herbal teas depending on the flavour, lemon, ginger and manuka honey is a current favourite but peppermint and liquorice is a recent fail on the herbal tea front!

  • Coffee, strong, black, unsweetened. I really don't like tea & never have.

    As a child I had milk & two sugars in the coffee, but when I started making it myself I remember thinking that making instant coffee without milk and sugar from a recently boiled and re-boiled kettle took about half the time of making one with milk etc, and as a bonus took away the impact of the risk of running out of milk/sugar - so I switched, and I've been that way since!

    I haven't ever properly counted but I'm sure it's easily 8 instant coffees a day!
