I only ever add milk to chai teas. I think it's really tasty. Otherwise, I don't even add milk to coffee, let alone any kind of black tea. Maybe occasionally.

Exactly. Over here football usually refers to Aussie Rules or Rugby, depending on the state you're in. But some people absolutely flip their shits if you try to call 'soccer' 'football'. Despite how much more accurate it is.

Anyway back to tea. We have a ton of tea bag varieties, mostly by Twinings. Mostly various black tea blends, one box of camomile. I should pick up some green tea sometime.

It works so long as you add enough sugar to make the terribleness go away.

Milk tea is fucking AMAZING I only had it once and haven't found it again.

I go back and forth to no milk or with milk (but never dairy milk). Sometimes the tea tastes better without it.

OH AND THE VIDEO I kept thinking of Plinket going "I CAN'T STOP CUMMING" and it grosses me out even more.

I prefer tea with milk, myself. With honey to sweeten it, especially if I've been ill.
I'm a bit weird as I kinda like that horrible watered down tea they serve at Chinese restaurants for free. It has no taste but is an incredibly smooth drink.

I'm Australian. The free tea is just in crappy little Chinese restaurants... or sometimes not so crappy ones.

@ Spoon: When ever my friends and I are in China town we always end up at the Golden Orchid. The best satay sticks but no free tea :C

Dammit I want some steamed wontons and crappy flavourless tea right now.

EDIT: Actually there's a chance I might have been there once. But I can't be certain as there's a few places I've been in that area that involved weird turns through back alleys lined with dumpters. You know it's authentic Chinese food when you can smell garbage nearby.

I haven't been there yet, Dragon Boat that is. I think my mates and I have passed by but it was always packed.

According to my IP buddy we have been to the dumpling place, he reckons that's where I dropped my dumpling in my water because the bowls and cups are pretty similar.

In our restaurants we get tea for about 1,50€ in a pot with the leaves and free water refill.

Carbonated iced tea might already be a thing, a thing I'd like to try.

Some restaurants here are like that. Depends where you go. Also the tea is usually pretty weak when you get it free.

My favourite noodle place does free slushies as well as free tea. But you get what you pay for or in this case, don't pay for. The slushies are a sort of weak cordial with maybe ice flakes in it? Sometimes it's warm.
