Milk and sugar preference

 I'm currently a bit low on sugar, so I'm drinking my black tea with just milk.  Made me think of how I like tea, assuming "normal" black Indian tea.  In order of preference: 

  1. Tea, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon white sugar.
  2. Tea, 1/4 cup whole milk
  3. Tea, 1 teaspoon white sugar
  4. Tea alone
Other teas:
  • Green teas tend towards straight tea, maybe with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. 
  • Genmaicha straight as the toasted rice adds enough sweetness as to make sugar not needed.  
  • Lapsang souchong with just milk.
  • I don't drink enough oolong to have a set preference.  
  • Fruit/flowered teas normal are drunk with just sugar as most don't really get along with milk however some do and are quite nice that way. 
  • Herbal are on a case by case basis, but normally with sugar.  
  • Ice tea sweet, in that overly sugared southern style, then unsweetened.  I don't add sugar to it at the table, as that doesn't work.
Coffee:
  1. Coffee, ~1/4 cup whole milk or ~1 tablespoon non-dairy creamer, ~3 teaspoons white sugar
  2. Coffee, ~4 teaspoons white sugar.
I don't like straight coffee.  Of course I don't drink coffee all that often.
