Tea - Brit Style
I’ve always thought that putting milk and sugar into tea was gross.
Whenever I have tea, which is fairly often, I prefer to have either toasted rice/barley or green tea. When that’s not available, then I’ll have something fruity like Mango-Mandarin or Perfectly Pear.
I didn’t feel like having coffee and for some strange reason, I also wasn’t in the mood for any of the teas in my personal stash (I have toasted rice, green, rice with green, mint, raspberry, mango-mandarin, perfectly pear, and white peach in my locker - which is a bigger selection than most restaurants have!) so I went to the pantry but the office only provides boring ol’ Lipton classic. I remembered not liking the taste of black tea but made myself a cup anyway. Sure enough, after one sip I reaffirmed my dislike for black tea. But just as I was about to toss the tea into the sink I saw the Coffee-Mate and Splenda sitting quietly on the counter and figured - hey. It can’t get much worse.
So I tossed in a shot of Coffee-Mate and a packet of Splenda, took a sip, swallowed, and thought to myself: oh my god. The Brits are geniuses!
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that that concoction is just yummy! It tastes just like the Taho that you buy from the guy who walks around the village at daybreak (minus the sago, of course). By 5:30 (yeah, I had to do overtime :P) I had had 6 cups of the stuff.
Typical of me to get addicted to the most unhealthy way to drink tea; high in fat, high in sugar, high in calories.
The British sure know how to drink their tea!
