Loose tea, brewed for a couple of minutes and semi skimmed milk, my "tea cup" holds 1 pint yum yum.

Strong, white, 1 sugar and a tot of whisky

But definitely not decaf

Roy

Not to strong - not to weak. One and a bit sugars and count to five semi skimmed milk. Lovely i think i'll just have one with a biccy.

Vera

same as Vera not to strong - not to weak, semi skimmed milk and one sugar.
I prefer loose tea though/ When I use a tea bag I can taste the bag.

hi all

lorraine :-D

Not a fan of tea as I prefer coffee

But if given tea then it has to be quite strong, dash of milk and one suger.

Not decaf tea or semi-skimmed milk - yuk

tea - that's what I give to the plants (I don't even like the smell!)

OH makes DISGUSTING tea! :-( -

Teabag in his HUGE cup (400ml) - into the microwave ( ewwww! ) for 3 minutes, squeeze the bag (not me) then lots of milk and 3 heaped teaspoons of sugar

Barf :-(

I'll stick to my espresso coffee thanks :-D

Very strong, semi skimmed milk and half a teaspoon of sugar

PG Tips, average strength, dash of milk... and 3 sugars! :-D

Scozz, so pleased there is someone out there like me, just the smell makes me feel sick too. Took parents quite a while to realise it was tea that made me sick.. Not had a cup now for 55 yrs.

But coffee I love cannot get going in morning without one:-D

lol Carol - I think we're related

I drink my coffee strong, black & no sugar! Commando style.

I always warn people who visit us........ the coffee is STRONG! I think you could stand a spoon up in it.

I have memories of being given "standard Scottish Tea" as a child - very milky with 2 sugars, and hating it.... and being told "drink it, it's good for you". Like every child, if I heard "it's good for you" I knew I wasn't going to like it :-D

I used to drink tea , weak with milk ,2 sugars Sorry Scozz, mother WAS scottish. lol :-D
but until about 10 years ago, then I was ill and went right off it, also my OH & MIL drink tea all the time but it's so strong the smell is awful, I now drink Herbal tea, manily Rosehip or fruit berries, much lighter and refresher.
