3. Yum!
My husband makes chai with cardamom, milk and sugar. It's better than hot chocolate! Have you tried Tetley Chai Spice teabags? Delicious!

12. 3 Cups Every Morning
I got hit with acid reflux a few years ago. Something had to go from my diet: coffee or Mexican food. La Hacienda's Diablo sauce won out.

13. Ginger Peach
One of my favorites. Apricot Brandy is really good too. I usually take my tea black, don't really care for sugar or milk in it.

19. I tend to just go for an herbal variety.
Mr Belle is rather a connoisseur of tea and he swears by the stuff here http://www.harney.com (my favorite here is a lavender herbal variety, he tends to go for darjeeling). He used to make his own chai recipe which was pretty good a few years ago, but doing that kind of thing has faded into the wind these days.

20. Lots of tea goes through me
I like Darj, Keemun, Souchong best. Also blends from Murchie's. I make a lot of sun tea in the summer, Murchie's Hyatt Blend (a strong orange spice) being my favorite for that.

27. Aye, but only black tea.
Vanilla hazelnut with a splash of milk and honey is what I'm drinking now. However, I'd prefer to be drinking Whittard Mango tea if I could get it in this country.

31. I drink "matcha-iri gemmai cha"
It's Japanese green tea with brown rice and powdered green tea mixed in.

Be careful not to overheat your green tea or you might destroy the antioxidants.

I think about 70-75 celsius is about right.
