Question Of The Day - Thursday 15 August

Tea (decaf/naturally caffeine free).

Not a fan of coffee. Hate the caffeine.

Regular black tea

Tea. I am happy with a cup of Typhoo, Yorkshire, or Barry's with cream and sugar on the cheap, but what I really enjoy is Black Cloud from Silk Road Teas. Beyond plain black tea, I like spicy chai (I mix my own with whatever tea I have on hand. I like a lot of cardamom and cloves in it.) and various versions of Earl Grey, particularly Taylor's of Harrogate. My favorite way to make Earl Grey is actually a Rosey London Fog. That is Earl Grey with a pinch of lavender, steamed milk (I usually heat and froth some half and half, if I am to be honest.), a splash of vanilla, another splash of rose water, and sweetened to taste. Hmmm...

Hot chocolate and tea.

Hot chocolate

Coffee. Good coffee. Bold, rich, freshly ground. If it’s the swill that’s been sitting in an institutional coffee machine that’s seldom, if ever, cleaned out, then the answer is hot tea made from loose tea leaves.

Vanilla chia, half a spoonful of honey, and cream.

Has to be coffee....1/2 decaf....a little sugar and hazelnut creamer.Then for my tea,my daughter in law turned me onto this zhena's green tea...almost has a peachy aroma...delicious!That's my winter go to.

Coffee is my morning drink, but I love tea too, especially Earl Grey, Lady Grey (Earl Grey with lavender in it), and chai.

I dried some lavender from my garden and keep it in a bottle to add to the Earl Grey. Twining's makes it, though, in bags.

´ This always goes good with hot coffee ...

Black tea; I like Twinings English Breakfast and Tetley British Blend. I like it strong so I use 2 bags or when I want to treat myself I'll buy loose tea and fill the tea ball. I also love hot cocoa.

!!!! I have to try that. Rose water is so expensive though. But worth it.

Good coffee, strong and black, no sugar

I don't really like hot beverages. If I had to choose, I'd go with hot cocoa though.

Being a Brit with Irish descent (big tea drinking countries!); tea, hands down. I'm obsessed with coffee too though, and do love a hot chocolate and Ovaltine as well.

It is soooooo good! It is literally just a splash for a mug and a little tip of the bottle for a teacup, so I only have to buy it twice a year. I also make rose pistachio cream chocolates around Yule.

Now I want a Rosey London Fog. Looks like I am off to the kitchen!

Punjabi Chai, often called Christmas Tea in the West:
Black tea, citrus peel, rose petals, almonds, cloves, cardamom, vanilla

hot decaffeinated tea, with just enough sugar to give it a hint of sweetnees.
