7. Hey! I am originally from New England.
I LOVE my tea (English-style, cream and sugar).

Hot! Not iced tea.

It's very medicinal. Google it. I am sure you will agree.

10. I'm just a fan of the sweet tea.
I'm addicted to that stuff... election night and the night after.. I think I drank two pots of sweet tea. I usually drink a few glasses a day regularly. In fact, I got a glass next to me right now.

11. Four cups doesn't seem excessive.
Besides, tea is believed to have many health benefits. Enjoy!

12. Tea
how come the tea tastes so damn good in England,i have English friends that have even brought water back to L.A. which is like a black hole for tea making.They use the same equiptment,water,do the little tea dance and still it ain't real tea.
In Canada the tea tastes great,but certain parts of the U.S. just won't let the tea do it's magic.DAMN IT CAPTAIN it's a conspiracy

25. I had an English teacher in Grade 5
She taught us how to make a proper cup of tea.

1. Start with cold, fresh water
2. Bring the water to a full boil
3. Warm the teapost with hot water (dump prior to making the tea)
4. Pour the boiling water over your tea
5. Let it steep for 2-5 minutes (Do not bounce or swish the teabags.)
6. If you are going to be truly proper, you need to drink it out of a china cup

29. I make a very improper cup of tea...
1. Fill old "Star Trek" coffee cup with water
2. Drop in tea bag (usually some kind of "japanese style" green tea)
3. Microwave 2 minutes
4. Fish out teabag
5. Drink
6. Repeat. (Washing the cup is optional.)

15. I love tea too
Recent convert to Chai tea but I also love Earl Grey and Lady Grey. Another favourite is Prince of Wales tea, but it's hard to find.

I usually drink it straight up, but I also like it with milk and sugar.

20. Tetley Tea
Even though I don't like it. But the security around the red-rose factory is too tight. No one gets in or out of that place.

22. Hard to switch to beer
When you live in a "dry house" (Grand parents don't allow alcohol beverages in the house).
