tea can definitely be more easily ruined with sugar. coffee
is more robust in that sense.

I currently have 0-1 sugars in my tea, although I have been
as high as 4 for some periods. I generally have coffee
without sugar.

I drink my coffee/tea black with no sugar. I don't drink
'regular' tea, I think it's awful - I normally have green
tea with lemon. delish.

i drink neither tea nor coffee, which makes me a bit
peculiar for an irish person.. people, especially those in
the country, look at me weird when i politely refuse
either..

i like coffee with my sugar. then again, i rarely
ever drink that nasty shit. i do like tea, but i never
thought about putting sugar in it. i've put honey in it
before. i just can't ever get around to making it. i know
it's supposed to be good for you (apparently, while noticing
some brit's teeth, maybe not so much) although, i hardly
ever "make" food to eat, i'm lucky if i ever use a
microwave. i can forget about making a drink.

The vanity of having super-white and straight teeth has made
its way across the Atlantic to Britain. Humans aren't born
with super straight and "perfect" teeth, and their teeth
naturally lose their whiteness over time. It's not a
wonderful national trait to be known for cosmetically
enhanced teeth.

prefer it that way?!

Cosmetically enhanced ones are usually laughed at. We're
still (just) a part of Europe, so we prefer nature over
Cosmetics. Although the chattering classes are naturally
suckers for it. That and godawful fake tan.

Iced Tea is, again, becoming more popular, but only among
the swank and those who want to appear "Urbane".

yes/yes unless its fruit tea which is a nice change, but not
a substitute for a proper brew. i can live without sugar,
just as long its not overly milky and pale. eugh. grey tea
is the worst thing ever. i used to know a girl who left the
tea bag in for like a second, had 4 sugars and loads of
milk. freak. i could drink tea all day everyday for ever,
but only have about 2 coffees a week.

I actually mix up a nice little cocktail of green tea
extract, rosina, ginseng, yerba mate, and taurine... no
sugar though.

This company has some goods: http://www.invitehealth.com

...otherwise I just brew up some jade green loose tea leaves
:)

chai is a spice, I think. It gets made into shitty, overly
sweet lattes though if you get them at a store, but you can
buy it and it is like normal tea, though it is very
distinct.

I take nothing in either.

No sugar for me. I'm suprised how many people here take
sugar: Very few of my real life mates do. In fact, we only
have sugar in the house for when we make tea for people of
my parent's generation and tradesmen.

Here's another treat...

Go to your local 7-11 (or whatever convenience store you
got), get a 44 ounce cup, fill it with ice, fill it with
black coffee, and stab it with a straw! :)

I'm pulling an all nighter tonight, so may well make one of
these later this morning. I've got an ice maker/crusher so I
should be able to make it at home.

The plan falls down, however, when it comes to the 44 ounce
cup. According to google:

44 US fluid ounce = 1.30123531 litre

Now, I know Americans like big cups for coke etc. but that
is taking the piss. Almost 2 pints of coffee? You'd be
bouncing off the walls surely?

I want a 44 ounce cup of ice and a bit of coffee in it, and
then I'd like to swagger around town, drinking it out of a
straw and saying "sup?" whilst I sup.

It's kind of interesting, ever since I left Art School, or
even whilst I was there, I was always kind of creatively
crippled by the thought that everything I put down on paper,
or canvas, just seemed to be a lie, it wasn't what I wanted
to say, it was just.. decoration, not art, not truth. But
just reading this thread and the thing about 44 ounce cups,
i know now what it is, the one thing, the one genuine
creative spark I have in me that I could look at on my
deathbed and say "Dan, you know, you did good".

It's a 12' by 8' canvas, white base, with black lettering
spelling out the words "Please fucking shut up"

I'm thinking "44 US fluid ounce = 1.30123531 litre", also in
black in a tiny font (so small that unless you're right up
close, you can't see it) underneath the main lettering would
add something to it.

Edgey: I just went downstairs to make myself one of your
concoctions, only to find my girlfriend had thoughtfully
bought me a few of those ready made "chilled coffee" drinks,
so I will drink those first.
