Tea

[Teiko]

I used to be a bubble tea maker at my previous job, I would make all kinds of milk teas and fruity tea drinks 

I love Matcha Milk Tea and especially Matcha Smoothies

Chamomile tea is my sleep aid, but I drink others during the day. I don't use storebought teabags as much, I prefer using my own ingredients.

I tried making my own tea, I grew a bunch of mint and everything. It was terrible

Just depends on what you use. Some kinds of mint don't work well in tea. I grew the wrong kind of mint once and tried mixing it with orange peel and honey. It turned out nasty as well.

I wish I could be bothered to make my own, that's so amazing!

I love tea when I'm sick.  Definitely counts as medicine.

Technically tea can only come from one plant. Camellia Sinensis.
If it comes from anything else it's called a herbal tea and technically isn't a tea. I recommend learning how various herbs interact with hot water and how to release their flavours.

An example would be your orange peel. When you boil it, you're removing from the skin what makes it bitter and nasty and leaving it in the water.

The majority of herbal teas are also dried beforehand.

I know mah stuffZ with a capital Z

[Trixsie Vixen]

That is a lot of stuffZ.


I'm about to crack open a mango flavoured iced green tea.  I have to admit, I'm not feeling optimistic.

TEA??

How did I not see this thread before!!

I drink honey vanilla chamomile and then there is a specific sleepy tea I drink before bed which has mint in it. Oh, it's not actually a tea either.

I was thinking the same thing.

I drink quite a lot of tea, and most definitely have it everyday.

But any tea really as long as it is tea.

[Trixsie Vixen]

I'm so glad I included herbal teas in the OP, or we'd be in BIG trouble


Here's a question.  Are there any teas people really don't like?


For me Lapsang souchong is just horrible!

[kalan]

I gotta think green tea is my least favorite

[Nikolai the Lynx]

Honestly as someone who is most definitely a tea drinker, I haven't tried many different types of tea. I usually just have my normal tea with milk and that is it, although I can drink it black, milky, cold or hot. Tea is tea to me in the end.

Although I have had quite a few herbal teas such as various berry flavours and the like.

In the future I intend on trying many different types. Lapsang souchong will definitely be on there, that sounds pretty exotic.


The last time I had green tea I didn't like it, but I think it was quite out of date >_>

[Trixsie Vixen]

I like it white with two sugars.  But I'll put up with it almost anyway.  I regularly leave a cup steeping and forget it then drink it cold.  I don't like it that way, it just happens a bunch.


One of my most favouritest teas ever is billy tea brew over a camp fire served in enamel mugs using sweetened condensed milk.


That is nostalgia in a cup right there my friends!
