Susan in TN Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm getting ready to give up diet soda, and I don't like coffee. I like iced tea, but I have never tried hot tea. I need something in the mornings with some caffeine to get my mind working before I teach the kids. I was thinking hot tea just might be the answer. If you drink it, what kind do you drink? Do you put anything in it? Do you use a kettle or how do you make it? As Patrick Stewart would say - the water must be boiling when it hits the tea! (Yes, we use a tea kettle - no microwaving allowed.) We use a variety of teas - Lipton, organic green, Bigelow, etc. I love raspberry zinger :blushing: . I drink mine with milk and sugar, dh with just milk. As for equipment, you need a kettle with a decent whistle tone - good luck finding one that doesn't make your head rattle. A tea cup or mug. Tea. If you are going with loose-leaf, find a fun steeping thing (I have one that is shaped like a teapot). Milk, sugar. That's it. You can get a hot tea at Starbucks, I believe.

EppieJ Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 but I'll add my two cents in. I drink decaf, but many of them also come fully loaded. As far as what to put in them, well that depends on the tea. Chai teas have a lot of flavor and I enjoy them with a little milk/cream and sugar Good Earth Original is also a strong flavored tea with elements of citrus, cloves and cinnamon among other things. I enjoy these with nothing added because they have a natural sweetness I also drink a lot of herbals, which probably won't do you any good if you're looking for a morning "buzz". I often add stevia, honey or aguave nectar to those You've got lots to check out if the number of responses is any indication! enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
