    Ok, tea lover! :D So what's your favourite tea, then?

    I drink mostly Green with lemon these days. However, I'm partial to Green with ginger, Earl Grey with lemon, and Lady Grey. No milk, these days, it's too milky-tasting! (Except, strangely, when I'm eating fish'n'chips ! Then I like ordinary tea with a small dash of milk! Odd!)

    Just good old builders tea lol! Mostly decaff these days - quite strong, with just a dash of milk. I don't like the taste of milk (certainly couldn't drink it on its own), but I can't quite bring myself to drink tea without it.

    I went off tea for years and really missed it, even though I couldn't stomach it (if that makes sense).

    I can't drink tea with milk in either.
    I've never liked milky drinks and used to have the tiniest amount but now can't stand any at all.
    I drink fennel tea mainly but sometimes mint, green with Jasmine or earl grey.

    Edit: I like cold milk on its own but not on cereal, think I may be just a touch awkward.

    I eat dry cereal :D, or sometimes I'll add a bit of a dry-ish fruit like banana. The thought of wet cereal with milk makes me gag a bit.

    Frustration! I am suffering on another board *cough* from people who have inboxes jammed full. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to send a quick message and having it blocked because people's inboxes are full.......:(

    I quite often keep my inbox full on purpose. :o

    It controls the flow of communication when I am swamped or don't want to receive messages for a short period of time.

    People just say 'your inbox is full' and I resolve it...by removing one, or two, a few or deciding its time to clear out more thoroughly.

    Sometimes inboxes suffer from unwanted or un useful communication from people who are neither friendly nor helpful nor board guides/ admin. I'm usually ok with that, sometimes one doesn't want to have to HAVE to be ok with that. :). I'm never 'upset' with messages tbc, I just don't want to deal with them sometimes :)

    I found that sanguinello orange juice on cereal is luvverley!
    It has to be sanguinello, though, as ordinary orange juice doesn't work anything like as well.

    ATM I'm drinking cardamon tea. I've gone right off green tea, never liked white tea but do like jasmine tea ( which is probably just green tea of some sort but I will not find out). My other tea of choice is a very luxurious tea fir bought me when my diet was crazy restricted, its peach tea.

    That's interesting. I love the scent of jasmine, and I bought some green tea with jasmine to try, but I hated it! Shame.
    With fruit teas, I find that the scent is gorgeous, but the taste is very disappointing, so I don't bother with them any more.

    Is your peach tea something very special, then. Does it have a strong peachy flavour? If so, that would be nice.

    I can't have milk in the bowl when I'm done. I pour a little bit on, mix in in, then a bit more...until the cereal is just moistened.

    It's one of my few faffs :)
