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:
- Tea, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon white sugar.
- Tea, 1/4 cup whole milk
- Tea, 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 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:
- Coffee, ~1/4 cup whole milk or ~1 tablespoon non-dairy creamer, ~3 teaspoons white sugar
- Coffee, ~4 teaspoons white sugar.
I don't like straight coffee. Of course I don't drink coffee all that often.
