I actually like milk in my non-exotic black teas.
And sugar.
So there.
(I appreciate the taste of really nice tea, but there's a comfort thing going on with sweet, milky tea that I can't shake.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, there is. In fact, I don't put in milk and sugar when I need a tea-hug. I go straight to sweetened condensed milk.
But I'd never serve it, if it wasn't requested.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So...you just nuke the water and then put the tea bag in right? You don't microwave with the bag in it do you?

If in need of comfort tea, I'll use canned milk and about two-three scoops of sugar. (Assuming I have canned milk on hand, which used to be a given, but isn't so much these days.) Similar sort of thing. It's how my mother's family takes their tea, and thus the tea of my childhood. (Dad, as he does with all beverages save gin, takes his plain.)

Of course I do. It brews faster that way. Plus the string keeps the water from superheating, so it doesn't explode all over the place.

How does he take his gin? With vermouth?

Yep. And occasionally tonic.

Respect is Back. Fear is Next.
Uncommon Grounds, the coffee place at my alma mater, made the sweetest damn chai this (or that) side of the Mississippi. Maybe it was the way they did it, maybe it was a mistake, but whatever the reason, no one made a chai quite like the good men and women of Uncommon Grounds.
BTW, thanks to those who suggested Hideho Comics in Santa Monica. I visited and spent a good two hours there on Saturday. Amazing how much that store can fit so many comics into a store of that size. BTW, who draws the Walking Dead series? I am not a fan of zombie horror, but the pages I skimmed at Hideho were pretty compelling.
