TEA!

[QueenAdrock]

So, do you like it or do you love it?

I haven't had any for about a year and just rediscovered it with my cold. I had 7 cups yesterday and I plan on having 8 cups today. I'm on number 6 right now.

It's uncaffeinated apple cinnamon. Damn this shit be good. (y)

[Tone Capone]

Green tea is awesome.

[mickill]

I dig tea.

During the summer, I like citrus teas. Fruity teas, as well. During the holiday season, I enjoy this tea called Sugar Plum Spice by Celestial Seasonings. I usally add a drop of honey to it. It's great for fighting off the winter chill. Lately, I've been drinking a lot of chai. I prefer it half sweetened. Most days, though, I tend to have Lady Grey tea with just milk. Skim.

[Rock]

here is what you do.

you get your ordinary bags of lipton tea. throw 4 in there if you are making 3 cups...5 if you are making 4...so on and so forth.
pour some milk in that bitch. a few cloves...some cardomon...and cinamon (give the cinamon and cardomon a quick smash to bring out the flavors more). bring to a boil. let it boil for a couple of minutes. and then let it simmer for about 3 minutes after that.

and that is how you get Chai. which can be found at any of your local indian restaraunts.

oh...and sweeten it with honey if need be instead of sugar. Ya heard!?!?!?

[yooooo]

mickill is raising his pinky when he drinks tea

[Nuzzolese]

Sugar Plum Spice is so good! Did you know they (CS) have other holiday spice teas? Gingerbread Spice is one of them.

I also like the Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer and Emperor's Choice.

[Rock]

mickill is raising his pinky when he drinks tea
that is because he is drinking it properly. how do you drink it? without raising your pinky? how uncivilized.

[cosmo105]

uncaffeinated?

[mickill]

I knew the gay jokes were coming. How could I not, though?

Hells yes I know about them. I've tried them all. I actually stocked up on a few different ones last December. So if I'm ever in the mood for Nutcracker Sweet or Gingerbread spice, I can hook that up.

[voltanapricot]

Twinings Earl Grey, you plebs.

[mickill]

Or Twinings Lady Grey, right? Right?

[yooooo]

[yooooo]

barbarian.

fag!

oh noes were killing the thread.
i like tea in a bowl

[QueenAdrock]

Sugar Plum Spice by Celestial Seasonings.

Yes! Mine's from the same company. It's really good, and you can get 2 cups outta one teabag. Sweet.

[QueenAdrock]

uncaffeinated?

Yeah mang. I can't do caffeine. It's bad for you, plus I was so used to drinking uncaffeinated when I lived with my parents (dad's migraine diet won't let him have any caffeine), when I finally had some I went totally haywire and my heart almost exploded out of my chest. Bad stuff.

[mickill]

I think she's trying to correct you. She probably wants you to say decaffeinated or something.^

Hell yeah! *headbutt* HUAHHHH!

[yooooo]

thats right:mad: (y)

[voltanapricot]

Or Twinings Lady Grey, right? Right?
Mike, you are trying too hard. We all know you drink tea out of mugs anyways.

[Documad]

I like red tea and the standard british ones.

I can handle some orange or mango in my tea, but I don't like tea with apple or cinnamon or lemon flavor. I don't like tea that smells like perfume.

I like skim milk in my tea and sometimes honey if it's a black tea.

[HEIRESS]

fuck those gay tea infusers shaped like a heart

I throw my tea leaves in a french press and it is so much quicker and easier to steep tea that way

I buy most of my tea loose from local shops, my favorite variety right now is called "monks blend"

I like starbucks fancy extra herbs added earl grey, cause it tastes so damn good

my friend who lives in victoria always buys me some type of tea they serve at the Queen Victoria Hotel for the holidays

jesu christo I love tea!

[QueenAdrock]

I think she's trying to correct you. She probably wants you to say decaffeinated or something.


But isn't there a difference? Like decaffeinated USED to have caffeine in it and they've extracted it, whereas uncaffeinated just never had it?

I just know that decaf coffee still has *some* caffeine in it. Enough to make me feel it. I can't drink coffee at all, because I'm really sensitive.

[cosmo105]

you just say "tea." you don't have to say "uncaffeinated." herbal tea does not contain caffeine. only teas derived from the green tea plant (green, black, white, etc) contain caffeine. jeez, diana. i mean seriously. this is you: DUHHHH. :rolleyes:


i'm a tea whore. i love me some peppermint for digestion, ginger for nausea, my pms blend for water rentention, my bedtime blend for sleepies, and anything else you can throw at me. there's a great tea shop near my hometown that sells a lovely lychee tea, as well as a chocolate blend. and spiced chai is always nummers.

i can't do caffeine either though. as much as i love english breakfast tea, i can't do more than a cup.

I SEE!

I said "apple cinnamon tea" to my friend earlier and she said "You shouldn't drink caffeine, Diana." So I guess I'll go mock her now.

[HEIRESS]

psssssssst nick!!!!

if you drink aleast 20 oz of tea with lots of cream and sugar it'll help you shoot out your daily poo poo just as easily as coffe does

OKBYE!

[Nuzzolese]

But Cosmo, herbal tea isn't really tea. It's an herbal infusion. However, we refer to it commonly as tea so it's okay to call it tea. It's technically only tea if it comes from the tea leaf. So if you just say "tea" then one might assume you meant actual tea which contains caffeine. Keeping in mind the commonality of calling herbal infusions "tea" and the fact of the tea leaf plant containing caffeine, it does seem to clarify things to specify whether or not the "tea" has caffeine.

[mickill]

You really have no idea how much I've toned it down here for this thread.

But the mugs...yes. Low blow.

[voltanapricot]

I could do with some tea right now but it'll leave me piddlin' all night at a pub where there are no toilet seats and not enough loo roll to line the rim.

ok, ok, good point. but who the fuck says "infusion" these days anyway? except for nerds like you of course.

She's an absolute doll, isn't she.? She's like Pippi Longstocking, only not so annoying. Or as red and freckly. Or gay. She's actually nothing like Pippi, I don't know what I'm getting at here.

[Nuzzolese]

That's what I'm SAYING, that people call it tea not infusion. That's why you have to say whether or not the "tea" has caffeine, and you can't just call it tea.

[cosmo105]

shut up you guys, i saw chloe first.

[steve-onpoint]

Sounds good.

I like it tea. I do not love it. Green tea with nothing is pretty bland (sigh). I'm cool with Chai, though.

[Nuzzolese]

She is precious.
But, I should say that I actually love Pippi Longstocking. She was a pirate's daughter with a sack of gold coins, super-human strength, and no parental supervision. I saw the movie when it came out in 1988 and at the time it meant a lot to me, although I'm terrified of watching it now and experiencing another weeki wachee disaster.

[mickill]

shut up you guys, i saw chloe first.
I'm gonna adopt her and never let her hang out with you EVER.

[voltanapricot]

I haven't been called Chloe in a long time! I feel like a mug. Make me feel like a bone china tea cup again and stick to Cloooo.

Somebody is bound to big up Camomile tea in this thread. I will say that I think it tastes like pondwater. Horrid, just horrid.

[Nuzzolese]

I fixed someone Chamomile tea once and he thought I'd pissed in the mug as a prank. I drink it though, the tea not the piss, to cure an upset tummy. It works I think. One time I felt awful after an encounter with some mysterious tomatoes in a darkened room and the chamomile really helped.

[mickill]

Hey Cloooo, do you like Nintendos? I'm a buy you a couple Nintendos. Just don't talk to that cosmo creep, aiiight? Or the Nuzz one either.

[Nuzzolese]

What are you, offering this out of a van parked on the street, you creepo?

[cosmo105]

i do not enjoy chamomille tea either. and i'm not a big fan of anything super citrusy. or red tea...i just can't do that, y'all. kinda tastes like spicy dirt.

[Nuzzolese]

Old man: "In my day we only dreamed of spiced dirt!"

[mickill]

I don't know what this Nuzz character's trying to imply, but I'm just looking for a suitable surrogate sister for my child, that's all.

Hate chamomille, btw.

[cosmo105]

see, i love spiced dirt, because i'm mexican and that's all we could afford in my country. reminds me of home. mama <3

Or maybe thats just because I was brought up on sun tea. Super sweetened sun tea.

[Lyman Zerga]

[voltanapricot]

A Nintendo for waiting for the kettle to boil, a perfect wage! Kinda like the Earl Grey I had just now with a dash of lemon juice, ahh.

[Caribou]

mmmtea. Tea is good, Tea with milk is better. And a bit of honey.
I drink loads of that stuff, I think I've become addicted over the years. Sometimes, when I'm in a special mood I drink OrangeCinnamon tea. Yummylicious.
