Talking about addiction!I drink at least ten cups of tea a day, and cannot move in the morning, until I have two or three cups inside me.
I like my tea, but ten cups.. :rofl:

Mhm!I can handle it okay... I could quit whenever I want
Tea is the lubricant which greases the wheels of life, at least so far as I'm concerned. For me it's plain old Red Rose, brewed for at least fifteen minutes, and served with no sugar, no cream, nor any other adulterants to get in the way of the pure caffeiney goodness.
In my opinion tea should only be black, and should always be had with milk, otherwise it's just flavoured water.
Here's a recipe I'd like to share:
Astringent green teas like Sencha do well like this.
Simmer in a quart of water a piece of fresh ginger the size of your thumb for 15 minutes or so. Remove from heat and add green tea bags or loose tea for four cups, and let sit for 5 minutes or more. To your iced tea container (the one you'll store it in to chill) put in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, the juice of 1/2 lemon and two teaspoons of sugar or less.
Pour your tea into the container, squeeze out the ginger and the tea leaves or bags, and stir, then chill.
I hope you like.

Scandalous I say!Oh, dear.. I almost forgot we had this thread. Good of you to bring it back up..
Now, take a look at this article claiming Tea 'healthier' drink than water
As it writes:
"Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers."
Now, unlike you, lordwinters and you, vintage.vendeuse, I like my tea just like water - pure.
:nod:
It does sounds divine!
Believe it or not I thought of 'you' as my plane crossed the Balkans Sorry to say the Pilot wouldn't agree to my diversion requests! But Istanbul is so close to you, you should pop over, even for a cup of tea!
Well.. lolScandalous I say!
Oh, my... you have no idea of the plan I had. My plan was to visit Istanbul last year. Alas, I've failed to get days off, and my lovely plan fell apart.Believe it or not I thought of 'you' as my plane crossed the Balkans Sorry to say the Pilot wouldn't agree to my diversion requests!

:thumb:Tea-wise, I drink a bathtub worth of the stuff everyday.
