Aren't you English? You are supposed to drink your tea with milk!
Originally posted by PocketKingsNorwegians are mostly coffee-drinkers as well. If you ask for a tea, you'll usually get some horrible lukewarm stuff that tastes like soap-water (because most of the tea you get here is Earl Grey, yuck).
How do they drink it in Norway, with a chunk of ice in it? 😉
Over here in the US its mostly coffee drinkers. The excentric wealthy and the old ladies drink tea.
Originally posted by NordlysI think Earl Gray is the tea we threw over the side of a boat before the Revolutionary War. I hear that Boston Tea Party was a blast.

Originally posted by NordlysTypically English Tea brands (Typhoo, Pg Tips, etc etc) are pretty rancid with or without Milk.

Proper tea - like Formosan, Lapsang Souchong (spelling), Earl Grey etc should all be drunk without milk.
It'd be like making shandy out of one of the real ales mentioned in this thread otherwise - should use the lowest common denominator if you're going to mix it with another drink!
Saying that, I don't understand why folk put sugar in tea either, so I can't be an expert.
