honey and cream is my preference, but sugar and cream is fine.

The other main topic he talks about is his son's death.

I use that.... SHHHHHHHHH.. don't tell anyone. I like it with french roast. but shhhhhhh.

She gets all butthurt if someone dares to serve milk with her coffee. Srsly.

I would have selected 'tea', but I was too busy gagging at the thought of coffee!

You know you can change your chose on these right?

It falls under the tea category. See the posts below!

Not gonna change my vote.

wait, that's been done before..carry on.

I dare you!!!

but I loved Half and half even better - but I only ever had that when visiting my Dad. For some reason I was too cheap to buy it for my coffee.

Sadly, Dad is long gone and so is my ability to have sugar so I just drink it black. I have discovered, though, since switching to black, that milk/cream and sugar covered up a multitude of sins in coffee.

He asked for 5 packets of sugar. Said he loved to have coffee with his sugar in the morning. (I guess so!!)

coffee, tea, cereal, etc...

probably why I'm not allowed to have it now.

5 packs sounds about right. For a small cuppa.

not milk and sugar. It should be black, bitter and HOT (like my wife). She is so kicking my butt for that comment!

Seriously though, I don't like anything in my coffee except ice on a hot day, and then it needs a shot of espresso.

I like chai too.. but better than that is THAI ICE TEA...omg.. I LIVE for that stuff!!!

In Japan, green tea is known as Ocha. (O' makes it honorable, so the honorable tea) Teas from China in Japan are called Kocha. Mostly brown teas. I believe in Korea and China tea is know simple as Cha. For example, Oolong cha. Pu Erh Cha. In India you have Chai...which kinda looks like Cha...with an "i" at the end. In Vietnamese...Tea is trà and Che.. which looks like Cha. In Thailand the word for tea is also Cha. In Cambodian, the word for tea ..is simply Te. In Tiebet the word for tea is ja..which looks like Cha. In Laos the word for tea is Saa...which again sounds a bit like Cha. In Bangladesh the word for tea is Cha.

I was only referencing how Americans confuse things and then add part of the definition onto the original word as if they can't remember that little bit! Such as ATM machine.

I have a recipe at home for chai, given to me by someone that had worked at a yoga center. An India woman made chai every day for the center, so that's probably why my recipe makes two-gallons at a time

Let me see if I can remember it, as I haven't made it in a long while.

2 bags of green tea
2 bags of oolong tea
three sticks of cinnamon
1-inch of fresh ginger root
40 peppercorns
30 clove buds
20 cardamom pods
8-qts of filtered water

Brew tea in the water and discard bags.
Simmer remaining ingredients for two hours over low heat.

Makes 8-qts.

I once found a simple recipe for Thai tea...if I can find it, I will post in this thread, k?

I've never made my own Thai Tea and I would like to have that knowledge

The chai recipe I posted is adjustable to your tastes, too. I sometimes experiment, such as putting in more peppercorns or more cardamom (a favorite flavor and scent.)

(videos are blocked here.)

I'll watch at home, and double-check my recipe.

Now, there's always Long Island Tea, too

My favorite glass-straw manufacturer makes straws for bubble tea, though, so I might have to order one and find a place in town that serves it. I do like tapioca, so I might like it

The places that sell Bubble Tea, always has a line out in front. People love this tea...My favorite is TARO.

It's also the Russian name for tea - чай (chai).

My Russian teacher suggested that might also be the source of an English slang word for tea: char.

a mile away!

Ever stand on a river bank, and suddenly you wake up and smell the coffee?

Never the fake cream. The first ingredient in it is HFCS, which I avoid like the plague.

I do like tea, but I voted "No, thanks" because I usually drink Coke.

How small a niche does that put me in?

I had to check Cream & Sugar even though neither

was correct.
.

I have heard that Splenda is popular too.. I wonder if anyone ever uses soy milk, Rice Dream or Almond dream instead of creamer..

Soy, Rice or Almond milks are very good used cold. I can't recall which of those substitutes I tried but I found that it curdled in my coffee (not very appetizing).

It's been Lactaid for me due to my Lactose intolerance and it's just fine in all my cooking, etc.

Can not do a lot of cheese, or ice cream. I enjoy sherberts better.. but if I do have ice cream, its usually in the form of a float, something that breaks up the ice cream a bit..

That cream and Sugar people are outvoting the Black Coffee drinkers? Amazing!

Most people I know put stuff in it.


Sometimes I think most people who drink coffee don't actually like the taste of coffee.

I drink a 50/50 mixture of coffee and skim milk, with a little sugar tossed in.
