Milk goes in tea. Not cream, not lemon.
Whoa, channelled my English grandma for a moment there.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
They're not my real dad!
Nor even your real news.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
hee I was waiting for the firestorm of posts on how we all drink tea.
I drink rather a lot of green tea, but I don't like the taste of it, so I mix it with an herbal tea and/or put in a lot of sugar or stevia. Stevia is my sweetener of choice lately.
Cold tea must have lemon. Or raspberries.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My neighbor grows mint that she shares with me and I love putting that in iced tea in the summer.

Our wings are not tired.
I like milk in my tea--it cuts the bitter of the tannins. Screw Fox and their stupid news.
When I was a wee one my mother would put a bit of tea in my milk so I would feel like a big girl.
So I've watched a few minutes of People's Choice Awards. Justin cracked me up. But 10 minutes of tv is all I get today. But it was a fun few minutes.

Art Crawl!!!
Green tea should be drunk plain.
Sugar and milk in the other caffeinated stuff.
Herbal tea: plain or possibly with honey.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
sometimes if the green tea is nast or has a weird aftertaste, like the one I had from The Coffee Bean last week, then I add milk and sugar and anything else to mask the taste.
But I like my tea plain. Ditto for my iced tea.
oh iced tea. how I miss you so.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I drink rather a lot of green tea, but I don't like the taste of it, so I mix it with an herbal tea and/or put in a lot of sugar or stevia.I am enamored with the jasmine green tea. Plain green tea is a bit too old sweat sock for general quaffing. The jasmine works lovely though for me.
My neighbor grows mintI'm going to have to steal some land to do this once it stops being bitterly cold.

Because books.
I like tea steeped to within an inch of its life, extra strong, and sweet. I use Equal, though.
I've actually never tried milk in tea, but it just doesn't appeal to me. And I definitely wouldn't put it in green tea.
I have a thing about lemon, though. I hate lemon, and it also gives me a sore throat. I'm forever asking waitresses for iced tea and diet soda with no lemon, please.

Can you do decaf, Kat? Because I know if I want babies if I have to give up tea for close to a year.
