Green tea should be drunk plain.

Sugar and milk in the other caffeinated stuff.

Herbal tea: plain or possibly with honey.

---

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.

---

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 mint

I'm going to have to steal some land to do this once it stops being bitterly cold.

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.

---

House: oh, it's over, it's over, that stupid arc is over! And yay, Cuddy! and House and Wilson smiled at each other like they meant it!

Cass, I do decaf tea. and mint and spearmint tea. And in all honesty, even though it has some caf, I do green tea. But most places do not have decaf iced tea. If it's a coffee place, I'll be a jerk and make them make it for me. And in reality, I've had a glass or two of regular iced tea.

But yeah. I am also willing to take benadryl and robitussin too if it means I sleep through the night. When I have a three headed baby, you'll all know why.

Though weirdly, when I got pregnant, my endo had me on a med that said, "DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT! MAY CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS!" Had I not stayed on that, I would have miscarried.

And the fetal specialist has me on aspirin which is a big prenatal no-no. So who knows?

And I'm dyeing my hair this week.

Ah, yes. Decaf iced is fairly hard to get out. But you can keep large vats at home at least while making peoples.

Most of my tea at home is decaf so I don't think about it. The decaf Paradise is a blessed miracle. Fruity but not sweetened at all. I shove one of the ginormo bags in a gallon of water and insta (in a few hours) iced tea.

And I'm dyeing my hair this week.

Rebel! You are a pretty, pretty rebel. Pinkifying?

---

that's the debate. I have a lot of gray on top and in my bangs, so I actually think I'm going to just go back to my natural color. Plus lots of growth, so if I were to repinkify I'd have to bleach it all again. And while bleach is apparently potentially the bad part of the hair dye prenatal experience, I don't want to do it because my hair is looking fried.

My hair has been pink for a while though. It's a conundrum.
