My favorite is peppermint tea with honey mixed in.

I love peppermint tea. It's always great with marshmallows, and during the holiday season, a crushed peppermint stick

I like to drink tea. Tis totally tangy. This is how I do it.

1. 5 Lemon ginger tea bags.
2. Half cup of sugar.
3. Four tablespoons of honey.
4. Pitcher of water.

OK so those are the ingredients I used to make Iced tea. This is how I make regular hot tea.

1. One mug of water.
2. One or two tea bags.
3. Three teaspoons of sugar.
4. Two teaspoons of honey.

I love to put honey in my tea. It taste better that way. Most of the time I don't add any sugar because I don't want it to be too sweet.

Celestial Seasonings has the best tea in my opinion. I've been over to their center, to see how their teas are made. I bought a Celestial Seasonings coloring book as a souvenier, and it's lost now. I would go back there when I get the chance.

Tea! I'm a huge tea drinker. I even study Japanese tea ceremony. Has anyone else tried maccha? It's Japanese green tea made from powder. It's pretty bitter, but you only drink a little at a time.

What do you do at the ceremony? Are they fun? They sound fun.

There's a lot more to tea ceremony than just making tea. The wikipedia article in Japanese tea ceremony explains it better than I can, but it's a long read! Basically, you make powdered green tea (matcha) for your guests. Every movement you make, right down to the angle of the tea making implements, has to be perfect. It's really hard to remember the order of everything, and that's why it takes years to master. It's hard for me because I have a terrible memory and I'm not the most graceful of people! It's also hard to sit in seiza (on your knees) for that long if you haven't grown up with it.

I'm drinking iced peppermint tea right now, and it's wonderful. Perfect for summer.

Huh, I did not know this until just now. There is such a thing as the Tea of the Month Club. Now I want to become a member!

MatthiasMan · August 10, 2012, 02:31:18 AM

Tea Month Club. . .I like the sound of that!

Rainshadow · August 10, 2012, 04:58:03 AM

I really want to become a member lol. That sounds really nice! Has anyone tried... oh, what's it called? Youthberry? Yeah, I think that's what it is. Youthberry Orange Blossom Tea. By Teavana. Teavana is a really nice store!

Madura Tea (an Australian brand) is really nice, I'm having a cup of it right now! I like tea with no sugar and a fair amount of milk. I like both tea bags and tea leaves, but I tend to have more tea bags just because they're more convenient. Twinings and Dilmah is also good.
I also enjoy iced tea- lemon, peach and raspberry are my favourites. I have a bottle of it at least once a week! I live right near shop which sells it cheap, so that's always handy. Lipton is my favourite iced tea brand, but I also love Dilmah iced tea. Having a bottle while going for an hour or two long walk along the river while listening to some beautiful music- perfect. I do that a lot, it always leaves me feeling really calm.

I absolutely love Moroccan Mint Tea! It's so yummy!

Anyone here ever had decaf tea? It tastes a little like coffee.
