Ah Maz, but tell her that drinking tea in hot weather makes you sweat (sorry perspire!!) and that cools you down quicker.

Maz, when I used to go down the allotment with the OH, the best cup of tea was brewed there on a little primus stove. It was always better when accompanied by a bacon butty
Julia in Derbyshire

You're not the only one Maz......but then again I could drink tea at any time......but mine has to cool down, don't like stuff that is too hot.......I was always told it was the best thing to drink in hot weather.....

......or did they mean.....iced tea...... :0)

Jenny I did - she said "oh yuck, gross" etc etc !!!

Julia that sounds fab - I've not got room for a shed on my half plot, but if I did then I would do the same!

Sally, that's what my mum used to say too and she deffo meant hot tea!

mind you, lemon tea is nice too - made with freshly picked lemon balm of course :-)))

Iced Earl Grey with a slice of Lemon, in the summer ,Delightful.In the winter Hot ,laced with Brandy, great.**M**.

Well if you're bonkers Maz then there are a lot of us. I drink tea any time, very refreshing in summer and warming in the winter.

lol Candyman......I had mine in a blue plastic beaker last week, all the dirty cups were in the dishwasher......

Anyone try tea with undiluted orange squash, it is really lovely.....just the normal amount of squash you would use if you were filling it up with water......and more if you want a stronger taste........sounds daft, but it is good......

I like a nice cup of tea in the morning....
Just to start the day, you see....
And round about eleven,
Well my idea of heaven, is a nice cup of tea..

I like tea when I'm thirsty at dinner,
And a nice cup of tea with my tea.
And about this time of night,
What more refreshing sight....
Is a nice cup of tea.....

Might have got some of the words wrong, but I think it was a TV ad.....

I drink it by the bucketslol and its red hot here,I find it thirst quenching and very refreshing:-))

I dont drink tea much,prefer black coffee even in this weather
But read in the paper yesterday they are advising people NOT to drink tea or coffee.................................................only water in this hot weather
They can lead to de-hydration ,so they say
What other pleasures are they going to say are wrong ?
We will be able to have nothing soon
What a load of old.......................................................................................................
lol

Sally...tea and orange???? Dont know if I would try that one lol

* I know somebody who puts orange on their cornflakes though*

News tonight said no alcohol, no tea and no coffee....water and soft drinks only.....thats fine I will make my tea with water then have orange juice in my vodka :-)

Now that sounds a very sensible idea to me Col
lol

Irish coffee anyone? Well there is water in it lol

so glad to read I'm not the only one :-)

not sure about orange in tea though, although I do have a fruit tea that is orange flavoured.

colin seems to have got it just right though :-)

i find coffee the most refreshing thing to drink when it's hot! liquid caffeine!!!

I love my cup of tea.

Dear All

Hello,

I cannot manage without my cup of tea!
Malfunction takes place without tea!

For a refreshing drink though, I make peppermint tea.
Allow it to cool. Put into fridge and serve with ice.

Lovely!

Best wishes to all

I'm a tea drinker as well. Must have a cuppa whatever the weather. xxx
