[Jilbabi]

Right this has been a long awaited poll so here goes....

As you may have noticed (maybe not) but im a big fan of tea...but only milky tea not strong dark tea :)

so how about you?

[*hijab*]

i love tea :D

bt i need to cut down...maybe one cup a day :rolleyes:

[nami]

Yeah I like tea too, but don't love it. I like it milky too, half water half milk. I prefer it with skimmed milk. Makes it taste a lot more refreshing in my opinion.

My likeness for tea increases a hundred fold when cakes are involved...

[ayna_habibti]

I love my Tea.
in uk is msotly milky tea due to all the delicious biscuits you can dip into it. yum yum.. chocolate dijestives.mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i tried mint tea, at Maida, its a restaurant in whitechapel, it was so refreshing, but what about coffee, for all the coffee lovers. i love coffee!

try 1 full teaspoon of coffee, and 1 full teaspoon of hot chocolate and lots of milk and water! its really nice.

I don't drink coffee, but 1 time, I went to a friends house who had some expensive brand of coffee. He added some cream to it and it was amazing!!! He had about 4 cups while we spoke and I had 2 within 3 hours.

[Kasim2k7]

no tea at all but when i feel like, i only have kettle tea. dont like pan tea because it doesnt cool down quickly enough

Refreshing....:scratch:...if you want refreshing, take a walk in the cold! OR have a nice cold drink, or go out in the rain! Maybe you meant reviving....:D But bleh, don't like making it, don't like drinking it! Although, I do have vague memories of drinking pink tea and liking it when I were small :D Dunno where to get it from though :scratch:
Ahah

:confused: Ahah?

[your sister]

Ahah = yes = the same for me

[Hayaa']

I like tea :D but not too milky

Herbal tea is just not tea IMO

[MPC]

I refuse to leave the house in the morning without a cup of tea. On a sunday its a big mug plus the times. Ahhh what a way to start the day.

[Pippin1376]

My parents are addicted to tea. I think because of that I never liked it. Chocolate milk is the way to go anyways. :up:

[mizfissy815]

I don't know what English tea or Asian tea is, but I like my Lipton...

[Slot]

Where's Iced Tea? Ya'll trying to run out the Americans from the south?

[Mujib]

For some reason I can never drink tea here in England, but when I go to pakistan I drink it like water! Im sure it happens to you guys aswell?

I end up drink a lot of milk instead, lol.

Drinking milk is a lot better. Atleast you dont get addicted

[Saudi&Syrian]

I used to be scared to drink tea since i heard it can make you short or stop growing but since im 18 and im not getting any taller (unfortunately, i'm only 5'8) then i've started, and i really like it =) I'm on the boat with the origional poster though, milky's the best =D or green, you know, when you're in that organic mood.

[bint]

i absolutely love strong milky tea..with garam masala. yum! i need a cup of that once a day.

I have absolutely no idea! :p I just pictured you sticking garam masala (the cooking stuff I meant - who knows you tea kooks might just be putting that in yer tea!!) and amusement ensued :p

Hiking,
It is not garam masala, it is tea Masala. It constitutes of dried ginger, pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg etc.
Personally, I prefer Early grey with bergamot and some milk

[heba.m]

ya, i like tea very much.
i like asian tea
i like milky tea also.
its give me refreshment.

[Jenicca]

I loathe Kettle Tea......ewww

But yummy Asian tea.....made the proper asian way....but only with Sainsburys Red Label Tea Bags....

.....Also if you have fresh lemon grass tastes all the nicer. I tend to do that when Im abroad.....no fresh lemongrass in Engalnd

Coffee with a couple teaspoons of sweet milk is divine..if not only brown sugar!


But generally herbal tea, green tea, mint tea, ginger tea, ginseng, lemongrass....hmmm

And and on a cold day Asian Tea with lots of ginger does the trick perfectly!

[thurber]

Constant Comment is good for a change of pace.

[MALEEHAH]

Tea is disgusting. *shields himself from attacks*

I agree.

[Jilbabi]

Tea is disgusting. *shields himself from attacks*

lol i bet you get forced to drink it when your ill thats why

*muhahahahha**

[Cinderella]

:up:

[KeeKee]

i'm more of a coffee lover....can't stand tea, but recently i'v acquired a taste for earl grey and mint tea....

[dr_khalid]

proper way to take tea to avoid its ill effects:

1. put tea leaves in hot water but not boiling water
2. avoid more than one cup a day as it contains tannin which is quite harmful

[truepath]

I personally never drink tea, except when I am in jamaat where theres no alternative.. like they dont make coffee..

I am surprised some people have so much love for tea... that they even drink it in sahri... admire the dedication lol...

i mean .. my reason to drink tea or coffee is only to get freshness... so why wud anyone need a tea at sahri... cuz u wanna go sleep after sahri and fajr...

[Ibn Sina]

lol u guys are addicts not 'lovers' ...

[PiElle2]

are you guys are talking about 'drinking tea'... do you do the 'tea ceremony'...?

[truepath]

lol u guys are addicts not 'lovers' ...

lol i know addict is the right word... but i used tea lovers as the words by seeing how some of these lot drink tea in suhur to me that sounds quite a dedication towards tea...

are you guys are talking about 'drinking tea'... do you do the 'tea ceremony'...?

Oh wow!

I just check the link and its actually quite close to the way these thai folks drink this type of tea here at my work place.

The only difference is they dont use the tradition kettle and cups as shown in that link, but rather normal cups and tea is made in glass jar...

it does smells nice but i've never tried as i normally take 1 - 2 cup of coffee (1 before lunch and sometimes another after lunch) during the day at work.
