I am a two-bagger because one Lipton is not really strong enough for me. I also like to add one bag of chamomile with the other two sometimes. I expect Lipton is probably not considered much more than floor sweepings there, but proper tea is quite expensive here.<br /><br /> If Teh folks are not up to the job, so be it. More for you and me, Mr. B. I enjoy milk in tea sometimes but I am lactose intolerant so I might skip it. If I have a sweetener it is generally honey because I am anti-white sugar (have been for years)<br /> because it is truly awful stuff. Raw is better but then if one has to change the color and the taste, what is the point of drinking it?<br /><br /> Generally, I only ever drink tea at home or at Chinese/Japanese restaurants. For some reason, most Americans do not realise that black tea (mostly what we use here) must be made with boiling water. A restaurant or diner here would likely use water from a coffee maker run through an empty filter bowl to make the water hot, or crappy tap water microwaved to steaming. Blick! Tea tastes like shit-water made like that.<br /><br /> I enjoyed proper tea over there years ago very much. Coffee was another story altogether. I DO NOT drink instant coffee, I'd rather have Postum® . I tried coffee there three different times and it was total crap. I have heard good coffee is best obtained in someone's home.<br /><br /> It would seem we've strayed a bit off topic, except wars and independence <em>were </em>sought over tea, coffee and sugar.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 22 Sep 2014 12:56 by FIXRMAN</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41190.168&return_msg=41190.160" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41190.168"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41190_169"></a><div class="message" id="message_41190_169"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: fixrman<span class="message_time">22 Sep 2014 12:59</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 22 Sep 2014 14:45"></span></span> <span class="message_count">169 of 189</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41190.169">41190.169</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41190.160#a41190_162" target="_self">41190.162</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Chamomile might help with the cramps.
