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!
I used to drink black coffee alot I would have one with a cigarette, then I quit smoking and could not stand the smell of coffee, so I drank tea wich I obsessively drank until I stopped completely as I thought it might be making me ill,
I drink some times hot chocolate or hurbal teas without caffeine.
That's interesting, the coffee plus cigarette association and the fact that you stopped being able to tolerate the smell of coffee once you stopped smoking! I always used to smoke my first cigarette along with drinking my first coffee but have kept up the coffee habit despite managing to break the smoking habit!
I think that too much caffeine of any description can make us ill, it's not good for the heart rate!
There's some tips for hot chocolate higher up this thread :-)
