Hot drinks and you

[manic_depressive13]

Coffee is my favourite. When I was a bit younger my grandma would insist that I drink tea whenever I got sick because it's warm and she probably thought it would help. I very rarely drink it otherwise. Upshot of this is I now strangely associate the taste of tea with being sick, even though it doesn't technically make me feel physically ill. Hot chocolate is always a good option for when you suspect that the coffee at a place will be shit.

coffee, black one sugar
tea, white one sugar
peppermint tea when I feel rough
rooibos tea when I don't want caffeine (a rare thing but it has been know to happen)

Coffee if im on the go.

Otherwise *dons monacle and tophat* Tea please jeeves...

Now if you excuse me, I have an empire to establish, countries to oppress and a large navy to order about...

Earl Grey. It's the only Tea worth drinking! I have 6-10 cups a day!

Coffee is ok too, but I usually drink it when tired, more for necessity than enjoyment!

Anybody who claims not to like coffee hasn't tasted real, good coffee.

And while I'm making sweeping statements, this is cider, and it's served cold.

Dude, real Cider is spelt Cyder, and is served at room temperature. Also, see scrumpy!
Difference between a cyder and a scrumpy is that a cyder uses 1 type of apple, where as scrumpy uses multiple. Which is why scrumpy often goes cloudy!

I usually have a cup of coffee a day, sometimes two. Black with one small lump of sugar.

It's been too long since I've had tea though, I could use a cuppa right now. Same with hot chocolate.

Back on topic: I also like tea, and once in a while a hot chocolate... hot chocolate powder, 3:1 water to milk, marshmallows, whipped cream and cinnamon lightly dusted on top. Hits the bloody spot everytime.

Good gods that looks good... But water in my hot chocolate? Blasphemy!

You know, this post reminds me a bit of a song...

I fixed your link but only because I fucking love this song!

I love coffee but prefer it iced (or rather, cold. I hate putting ice in drinks since it melts and waters it down)

I will drink tea hot far more often than coffee though. Speaking of, here's another music video about Tea that I think will be enjoyed


I love, love, LOVE hot chocolate though. Sadly I haven't got a music video for that so, consider yourselves lucky.

Gotta be Tea and it's gotta be English Breakfast.

I can't stand hot drinks, although I occasionally have hot chocolate. I always seem to get a headache from them.

 

[Avalanche91]

I do love me some tea.

to properly enjoy coffee I'd have to drown it in milk and sugar, so I tend not to drink that.

Also; nothing beats hot chocolate during winters. Add whipped cream and cinnamon and you have a great treat.

Red Date Tea (get it in Chinese grocers) and glögi. Don't drink them often, just when it's really cold, and glögi at Christmas time. Also when I'm sick I have echinacea tea.

I hate hot drinks. Iced coffee is great, hot coffee is ow my tongue. Tea just plain sucks.

TEA MAN HERE

But I also drink Bovril as I am such a manly man I drink hot liquid cow!

Tea.. tea is delicious. I drink it lots. I'm not really a coffee fan, but I do drink it on occasion. Hot chocolate is hot, drinkable chocolate.. what's not to love!? My bed time drink, I have a nice big mug almost every night. Now it's getting towards christmas, I can add mulled wine to this list.
Edit: Not hot, but warm Ribena is lovely.

Tea, stewed and probably with the bag still in it. A dash of milk. No sugar. And it should be a brand of tea from Yorkshire. I'm not saying it has to be Yorkshire Tea specifically, but anything from the up north area.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

I can drink only one hot drink. Hot chocolate, and I can drink that thing whenever I can, fucking delicious.

Drunk from the saucer and not the cup as well im guessing?

Hot Chocolate. But only if I'm actually cold.

Honestly, I don't "get" tea. To me it's just how water that has too much a a flavour to be enjoyed as water (Which is my fav drink), but to little taste to have an impact of it's own. It's the hot version of putting lemon in water, Yeuch! XC! (Or fizz, or taste, or anything else that simply ruins the enjoyment of drinking water).

I never liked coffee, but after spending some months here in Sudan, where they have the best brewed coffee in the world (In my opinion, since I actually enjoyed drinking it), I'm starting to get a taste for it. I doubt I'll start drinking instant coffee in the mornings, but I can finally enjoy drinks and foods that either have coffee mixed in, or are coffee-flavoured.

Well, being British, I only drink tea.

Also because I'm from the Midlands, It comes with two sugars and milk.

I'm a computer programmer. Thus, it is not uncommon for me to drink 3/4 to 1 gallon (96 to 128 oz.) of coffee in a given 24 hour period. I loves me some coffee.

When relaxing, reading, etc... I will often drink Earl Gray tea instead (and was drinking it before Picard, dammit).

 

[FamoFunk]

I drink tea all day everyday (although it being hot hot is debatable it's so milky)

Can't beat a Hot Chocolate either, but it has to be brought from a Cafe or something because it taste so much nicer than trying to do it yourself.
