How do you have your tea, coffee....gin?

NightHawk

Are you a fussypants like me?

Has to be Yorkshire tea, 1/2t hipster (coconut) sugar and Bonsoy milk. I quite often take supplies with me so I can have it just right.

The cup is important too, I have favourites that will only do on that occasion 😬

I wish I could drink coffee, it messes with my stomach and nerves though.

I only like coffee - I think tea smells like the cat hasnt used the litter tray (sorry). We have a fancy pants coffee machine which gets a workout every day. I also like coffee from a French Press (must use favourite cup) and I also more days than not buy a coffee from my local cafe. I drink waaaayyyyyy too much coffee!! And not a gin drinker - more of a voddy girl with soda and lime!

NightHawk

Longdarkteatime I’m with you on the vodka, lime, sofa. I do know there are some gin connoisseurs on here.

I don’t like coffee at all. Never got the hang of it.

For tea, I like green tea with jasmin, that’s my main drink. For black tea, I like earl grey or Russian caravan, no milk or sugar. Can’t do any other types. I have to take my own supplies because no one could cater for my ridiculously fusspot preferences.

squeekums

Yeah you should see the looks i get ordering coffee or how many go ahh was that 10???

NightHawk

squeekums when I make tea or coffee for someone and they ask for heaps I sugar, I give them half of what they ask for 👀

Marmalade

Lol. 10. I thought I was bad with 3. I also put sugar in my hot chocolate/Milo and people look strangely at me.

squeekums

Marmalade oh 3 is nothing, your fine lol

DP comments on my sugar in Milo , he team odd

Marmalade

OP what is Bonsoy? I’m guessing that is not real milk?

NightHawk

Marmalade it’s soy milk. I don’t like the taste of cows milk although I can drink it.

Strong flat white, sugar and low fat milk.

It must be in my favourite cups,I am steadily buying all stock of Ruby Red Shoes cups, just the right size and have a thin rim.

I take a cup with me on holidays.

I’m using lactose-free milk atm,tolerating it barely.

Botanical gin with feverfew elderflower tonic water.

Ink,Bloody Shiraz,Nosferatu.

I have one from The Big Pineapple.I haven’t tried that yet.

I rarely drink now though.

Chookas

I like twinnings, English breakfast, not Lipton’s! Don’t really drink coffee but don’t mind a flat white.

Gin, any and all are great! I’m especially liking my pomegranate gin atm

I have particular cups and I hide them when MIL stays with us, because she likes the same cups as me 😆. Coffee, I like a plunger one, or a flat white from a Cafe.Tea, I’ll drink anything and I like gin and tonic. I do like Hendricks, with a bit of cucumber. Also like four pillars and forty spotted. I like trying different kinds. Also been onto the whisky. Love the variety you can get… though there was one that was a bit like petrol… it was one of the Scottish ones like lahproigh.. or something g like that 😆

WidowWyncke

There is no tea that exists in the world that I can drink.

NightHawk

WidowWyncke that feels like a challenge….

….that I’m too lazy for.

WidowWyncke

I don’t even like the smell.

MrsT

I drink my coffee black. Like my soul.

when I make coffee for DH I only put in half as much of his normal coffee and make up the difference with my decaf coffee. He has never noticed 🙄

squeekums

NightHawk don’t worry, we know, we can taste it, we politely drink. Depending where I am, I’ve been known to add more lol

Camokat

Coffee has to be decaf nowadays sadly. Rips my guts up and I get angry and jittery if I have the proper caffeinated stuff now.

Tea - Dilmah, not over-brewed, heaps of milk. Or green tea, with or without jasmine. There’s a green tea with 3% matcha that’s very nice - they only sell it at Coles.

Not into the hard spirits, I prefer cider. Not the syrupy stuff for the youngsters, something not-too-sweet with a good apple flavour.
