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 spent 20 years getting my 'tea' from a machine at work. Anything is better than that.
My preference is:
1 Chocolate milkshake
2 Hot chocolate
3 Tea
4 Coffee.
I refrain from the chocolate as much as possible or I'd be the size of a house.
I tend to only drink coffee when I'm in the US as they really can't do an acceptable cup of tea.
Coffee from a vending machine is also bad and too hot! I always take my own jar of coffee with me when I go to work!
I like chocolate but not hot chocolate, weirdly!
I’ve never been to the US or tried their tea or coffee but I guess no one does tea like the British?
Their tea is awful - it's a sort-of a blend of all the worst tea in the world - no proper flavour and what you can taste is not nice. It's actually worse than the vending machine tea!
I take my coffee with milk & sugar so I always take artificial sweeteners to the US because their coffee comes in a bucket - I'd need 20+ spoons of sugar in that - also, I ask for decaf because I'd be wired all night on the quantity of caffeine!
I can see how easy it would be to consume thousands of calories drinking the coffee without eating anything.
More like Dunkin' Donuts than Starbucks! ;)
