Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on February 03, 2005, 10:22:25 AM: I would think thats how tea was meant to be. Aside from the fact that I utmostly dislike tea. So, I've no opinion on the matter.

Post by: Master Gopher on February 03, 2005, 07:30:25 PM: Sugsr: 1 or 2, depending.
Strength: Let's face it, when I make tea sometimes people think it looks like coffee.
It also has to be made in a teapot. Ceylon is nice.
Practically never milk - I used to, but I've decided it spoils the tea.

Good idea, I'll have to try that one...

Post by: Eagle Prince on February 04, 2005, 01:41:26 AM: Yeah, tea isn't too good. If I was going to drink it, I'd probably get iced tea.
Title: Re: How do you like your tea?
Post by: fuzzyoctopus on February 04, 2005, 01:49:29 AM: But if you can't get iced tea, then you should get vanilla ice.

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on February 04, 2005, 09:22:40 AM: ice, ice baby.

I despise iced tea. Both for flavor and because it's prohibited by my religion

there are many herbal teas I can get my lips around though.

It was a hoot! We'd sit in the back, eating Biscotti, drinking Tea, Each day in English.... While the rest of the class was held under an Iron boot.

The best part was when another student tried to eat a sandwich durring class and was ordered to stop... He pointed back to us as Jeffe was filling my cup and said "But they can..."
The teacher's responce was "when you contribute like they do, then you can"

Title: Re: How do you like your tea?
Post by: Archon on February 04, 2005, 06:00:07 PM: I like tea strong, with milk or without, I like it both ways. Never really needed sugar. And I also like it to start out really hot so it takes a long time to drink.

Hey, Offspring is good music. I don't like the other two, but Offspring is definitely good, and not for white trash.

Jeffe and Oseleon, I definitely envy you two. And when I say envy, I mean hate with a passion. In the face. Twice. I carried on, literally, the whole of what was supposed to be a class discussion. Nobody had read the work that we were discussing except me, so I was talking to the teacher for the whole hour. And this is a regular thing. And still I can't get away with that sort of thing.

That sounds awesome. You must have had one hell of a cool english teacher. *writes in notebook* "Mission for year: Convince various members of staff to allow me to drink tea in class."

The excellent thing about doing Ext. 2 english is that it's such a small class you get spoiled. At least that's what my mum does to her classes...she keeps *feeding* them. Though I'd still hate to be taught by my mother.
