Poll question: How do you drink your tea?
I'm sitting here drinking my green tea plain and bitter. How about you?

14. Of course we don't. It has to be iced tea, or it isn't tea, right?

20. Iced. Sweet. Strong. with some lemon if you have it.
Heaven.

My granny made tea that would walk to the next county. She brewed it really strong, sweetened it while it was still hot, then added the water and put it in the fridge to chill.

THE BEST!!!

16. strong green tea is nice sometimes
I like to have say 6 ounces of water with 2 teaspoons of loose green tea steeped for a couple of minutes, sometimes. It has a lovely aspirin like taste. I like it not so strong, more often though.

I used to work for a guy from Hungary who would get giant lipton's tea bags, for making a quart of tea, he'd put it in his cup, which was all stained because he apparently never washed it, and just keep filling it back up with water all day long... yikes.
