I've got a craving for a tall cup of iced honeybush tea after a hot day mowing with my reel mower. Now if the blasted weather would just improve!!

Most of the time... Chai.

Otherwise, I'll enjoy Earl Grey or Lady Grey. Sometimes with milk and sugar.

Don't often drink coffee unless it's a specialty coffee like a Cafe Mocha, Mocha Latte, Mocha Frappe or Cappencino. Rarely an occassional Esspresso.

I actually never drink alcohol (it doesn't mix with my asthma medication) other than maybe a small sip on occassion (so my meds don't end up killing me dead because of the mix).

The only coffee I like is Douwe Eggberts Senseo mild (I'm picky), I like several kinds of tea though: ice tea, green tea, fruit teas.

But in all honesty I'm a non-bubbly water (Evian for the win!) and fruit juices (as long as they don't contain banana, banana is vile and poisenous [can you tell I'm allergic?]) kindda person :)

a nice chai latte actually made with breve (half and half)

But why is the rum gone?

Coffee - every morning. I have no personality until I've had my coffee. Dark roast - black - no sugar, no cream. It brings me back to life.

Tea -- in the afternoons (around 3-4pm). Green tea is my favorite. With sweetener - sugar or honey. A completely different taste from my morning coffee.

I also like chai (iced or hot) and espresso drinks (iced or hot) - almost any time.

This is, of course, why I'm up late at night posting on the Pyracy Pub...

It's not that I lack personality until me blood-level of coffee reaches it's proper level, 'tis that I have no Civility. And that be why the husband brings me a cup the minute he hears the alarm go off...similar to throwing raw meat to a savage animal... ;)

Not much of a cofee drinker. I usually drink green tea (jasmine, plain, or with lime) or raw coacoa. Both are very high in antioxidants you know. :D

If given the choice between coffee or tea in the morning I would most certainly take the coffee, blacker than pitch to be sure.

However in evenings since I already have trouble sleeping, there's no need for extra caffeine so I tend to go with tea..or alcohol.. :lol:

Aye. And if tea, preferably herbal or decaffineated.

If alcohol, preferably rum or brandy, neat. :P

Right now I have been living off of coffee to help my asthma. I have found out recently that a spoonful of honey in black coffee is very smooth and delicious.

As when I am drinking tea, well, now with that I have been making some hot toddy's, either using Drambuie or Disaronno.

Must have coffee. The stronger the better. (Although I do put cream and sugar in it). I don't function as a human being without it. It's not a pretty sight.

My favorite Christmas gift last year was a gift card from Starbucks. B)

I occasionally drink hot tea if I don't feel well or ice tea in the summer.

Coffee, coffee, coffee.....

If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin!

B)B) You made me laugh Lily, thanks.

I became addicted to coffee when I was in college. I had night classes and needed to stay awake or focused depending on the professor. The tea in the machine was horrible so I switched to drinking black coffee. I love coffee and the different flavors. But aye, I usually need a cup of Joe in the morning to give me a kick start especially since I am a night owl.

B) Anytime BriarRose..

I started drinking coffee with my grandmother. A little bit o'coffee and lots of milk. She was such a sweet little ole Italian woman, barely spoke English, but we had fun dunking our graham crackers in our coffee. "Eh" (gotta do it with the hand jesture though). B)

Today is another coffee day for sure.

Lily, you reminded me of my Grandfather. He used to make the best coffee ever. And I often associate the smell with him. Aye, I do miss him dearly.

Drinkin' a nice hot cup of Blackberry Sage Tea with Southern Bell Honey...wonderfully relaxing and delicious.

The honey is from The Bee Folks. We got it at Pennsic. I must say if is absolutely the best honey I have ever had. And I can't wait to try the other kinds we bought as well.

Here is the website if any one is interested: www.beefolks.com
