Tea

[Beef Boss]

How do you make yours? Brands? Let your inner tea nerd be free!

[TechyBen]

Boiling/boiled water, teabag, mug. Sometimes I take the bag out.

 

[wasab]

boil water, throw in tea leaves, add a filter. pour and drink. unlike Europeans, we native Asians drink our tea pure and moderately. That means no cream, sugar, milk, cheese and whatnots the Europeans like to put inside their tea. Also, we dont gulp down a 2 liter mug each morning like those British tea addicts.  For us tea is usually drink in restaurants only and at home, we hardly drink any at all.

Boil water, throw tea bag into cup, apply boiling water, add almond milk and sugar, enjoy.

Earl Grey. Tetley.

 

I've been ghetto tea living for a while now. I used to grab some from David's Tea, had a variable temperature kettle, and a few loose leaf strainers.

 

I fucking love tea though

I like oolong tea, and green tea. Black tea is okay. I usually get it with the bags. Oolong tea is amazing at this one American “Chinese restaurant.” I’ve heard people put Honey in it but im not so sure about adding things to it. I never put sugar or milk in it. I just drink the tea as it comes. Even if it tastes yucky.

We have a tea plant so we use our own leaves sometimes. That or iced lipton tea it Boston mint tea iced.

are you talking about the bubble tea? 

I believe they are Taiwanese, not HK. These things are extremely high in sguar and milk. In fact, half of it is milk and they add a cup of high fructose corn syrup in it also. The topicas are also submerged in sugar and syrup. It is there to give you obesity...

I hope they have ingredients list to list how much sugar is in it.

Nope they're different. For one thing, HK style Milk Tea doesn't include bobas.

I have Yorkshire Gold tea at the moment or PG Tips at work.

[kilgore_T]

mango sencha and hot water

[Wauthar]

I boil water, put it in my mug, add the teabag, put it on my desk.

Then I get distracted by work, forget I made tea and find it back an hour later. Result: cold, way too strong tea

 

When I don't forget about it, I do enjoy it though.

I tend to agree... and I'm a Brit! But I do put a little sugar in when I'm out, as our water is really chlorinated around here. And I have been known to gulp it down.

Bigelow Raspberry zinger is my fav. Just a tea bag you throw in the cup with some hot water. 

[BuckGup]

I like black mountain chai, vanilla chai, lemon, orange, pomegranate, and chamomile. Steep it until it's black and I don't add anything.  

[Mutoh]

I like Assam style teas, something with a bit of kick.

[Gikero]

Earl Grey with frozen raspberries, apples or blueberries in it.

Zen Macha.

[Rain7]

Yellow Lipton

1. Leave the bag inside 100 ml of hot water

2. Fill a bottle with 300 ml of cold water

3. Take the bag out when the hot water is dark and add in 3 packets of splenda

4. Pour them inside the bottle and shake

[Snadzies]

I'm a tea simpleton, i take a little bag (usually green tea with ginger from Madrugada), fill the cup with water and put it in the microwave.
