What Do You Like to Put in Your Coffee or Hot Tea?

[SeaBreeze]

I just use creamer in my coffee, like Coffee Mate. If I have real heavy cream or half and half, I would use that, but I rarely have those things on hand, and they do make the coffee cold, especially in the amounts I use. I like my coffee light in color.

My family never used sugar in the coffee, because I understand it was hard to come by during the depression, either that or it was expensive. I don't care for the sweet taste at all in coffee.

What do you like to put in your coffee?

For hot tea, I like to use unrefined raw honey. What do you put in your tea? :teapot:

I like my coffee BLACK - BLACK ...

No sweetener or whitener......

I also like my coffee flavourful... I hate black water that has NO taste...


As for tea..... Much the same as my coffee... Just plain tea is perfect for me..
I don't like the flavoured teas either....

 

[Vivjen]

Nothing...no milk, no sugar....
I don't drink tea.

 

[Raven]

I have skim milk in my tea and coffee, no sugar.
Sometimes I have a cup of green tea with honey and when I want a glass of milk
I like unsweetened almond milk. It is also good to use when baking.

Morning coffee nothing. Sometimes if I have coffee in the evening I'll us some Emmets Irish cream or hot chocolate mix.

I add stevia to tea...hot or cold.

 

[Pappy]

Level teaspoon of sugar and a shot of half and half. Wife and I drink the same type so fixing each other a cup is no problem. In fact, we met, over 57 years ago over a cup of coffee at the old Oxford Diner.

Coffee......Splenda, tea......Splenda and lemon.

 

[Falcon]

Regular sugar and regular milk. That's for my ONE serving of coffee per day; and that's when I first get up in the morning.

Can't STAND tea in any form.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I knew a man who always put salt in his coffee, I tried it that way and hated it.

 

[Michael.]

We use a pinch of ground Cardamom & Cinnamon in our tea - or a pinch of Fennel seeds.

You can also place a small slice of fresh ginger in your cup or mug.

Unfiltered raw local honey here,and a splash of half and half.

 

[Phantom]

I like boiling water or milk with my coffee LOL

Half n half no sugar, used to drink it with liquid non dairy creamer but started having bowel problems, read an article about it being made from vegtable oil and realized that I was taking a old home remedy for constipation. I quit problem solved, I had my daughter mix it with milk added 1/4 C creamer for her toddlers, each had bowel problems until they started drinking 'Coffee milk'. She checked with her pedatrician and she said she can't see anything wrong if used in moderation (every other day) worked much better than stool softner.

For me, at home, 1 packet of Splenda and some Nestle Coffee Mate Sugar Free French Vanilla. And, maybe a cup and 1/2 in the morning, but none after that. Only time wife likes coffee is in some hot coco.

 

[RadishRose]

Used to be half & half & 2 tsps sugar. Now, it's artificial sweetener and 1% lactose free milk. If tea, I like Earl Grey the same way, but prefer iced tea over hot. Actually, I think I prefer iced coffee over hot, as well.

In my teens I used to take milk in my hot tea, not any more, I drink a few varieties, but take it just with splenda. Nowadays when I do drink coffee, not as often as a year ago, well, I take coffee in my half and half with splenda, sometimes I. I also like the flavored coffees, if I don't have the flavored one's on hand to brew, I'll add cinnamon with vanilla almond flavoring.

Reminds me, I still have a coupon for Starbucks I need to use.

 

[Ina]

I use stevia, and 1/2&1/2 inn my one cup of morning coffee. In the winter, I sometimes like to ad Hershey's chocolate and a little whip cream. :wave: :coffeelaugh:

 

[Pappy]

Love that first cup in the morning. The San Francisco Morning Blend single pod is our choice.

 

[SeaBreeze]

We have a regular drip coffee maker, and have been going back and forth using fresh ground Kona Blend, Organic Breakfast Blend (both from Sprouts). Recently we tried 8 O'clock coffee, and it was pretty good too. Used to buy the cheaper store brands, or Maxwell House, Folgers, etc., but we like those other freshly ground ones better, worth the price. We do use instant Folger's crystals when we're out camping.

Let me give everyone here a little advice. The next time that you fly and you would like to have coffee or tea, be sure to ask the flight attendant where the water came from to brew the drink. If they say that it came from the airplane's water supply or tank, do not drink it. If they tell you that they use bottled water, then enjoy the drink, otherwise, have plain water out of the bottle. (You don't want to know about airplane water.)

I was watching the news last night at 11:00 and they showed some IDIOT that is putting butter in his coffee....
C'mon now !!!! BUTTER ????? .... Evidently they melt it in the hot brew and drink it like that... WOW !!!!

Is it just me or is that something else ?????

 

[rkunsaw]

I might give butter a try. I will not use artificial sweeteners. A bit of Emmetts Irish Cream is good
