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. I have a big bowl of Joe in the morning, with milk. I have an array of flavoured coffees, including hazelnut and amoretto. I have these with decaff, as a doctor recently suggested I should, he told me my blood pressure was good but my heartbeat was a little dadt. I have to be really thirsty for tea, tea makes you pee after all. I don't like the fact it's such a massive diutetic. I like chai latte though. 

    In winter I also love hot white chocolate.

    Coffee all the way here Slight smile though weirdly I’ve never tried coffee syrups! Which flavour do you prefer? Probably best to stick to decaf if your heartbeat is a bit out of sync. Coffee has a diuretic effect to, annoyingly! I try to drink a glass of water before each cup of coffee otherwise I get dehydration headaches!
