    Non-dairy creamer in my coffee. . .light, no sugar

    Tea depends. I don't drink ordinary Liptons-type tea. I don't like it. But I do drink herbal teas and I usually don't use sugar in those either unless it's iced or I'm feeling a sweet tooth. Then I often use Truvia instead of sugar. If I do use sugar I use "Sugar in the Raw", not refined white sugar. It's nicer and melts faster.

    Complicated!

    Ugh creamer... I hate it! Also hate the long lasting milk you get in hot climate countries. It has to be fresh milk, and I only use milk if it's strong "English" tea. In coffee, I have to have half coffee half milk. A good "Cafe au lait" is the best!

    The Danes are a nation of coffee drinkers, most drink at least 5-10 cups of coffee a day. I suppose you could compare it with Americans drinking one bottle of Coca-Cola after the other. Isn't that correct?

    The ones of you who like herbal teas, you really should try one called " "White Tempel" tea, it's a bit expensive, but divine!

    I don't do tea in any way, shape or form. YUK!

    I rarely drink coffee either, but when I do, it's usually 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar, or packs of Splenda sweetener. It depends on how strong the coffee is. I prefer half and half in place of milk, but don't use much of either in my coffee.

    I've even used whipped cream in my coffee, if there is no milk available. Vanilla ice cream works too. Those are already sweet, so you don't need any sugar when doing that.

    I only drink de caf tea and green tea with lemon and ginger, and have one generous teaspoon of sugar, i have tried and tried to give it up and used sweeteners, but i always end up going back to sugar, i simply cannot give it up in my tea, i could go without in the green tea, but i prefer it with sugar all the same, i used to be a two teaspoon sugar person, but gave that up years and years ago.

    I don't like sugar in my iced tea- I like it unsweetened with a squeeze of lemon. At work they don't have fresh lemon, only little packets of lemon juice.

    In hot tea- I need lemon and a big spoonful of sugar. I like my hot tea sweet.

    Coffee- I like just a bit of sugar in coffee and a splash of cream or milk to lighten it.

    Favorite way to drink coffee ...
    1) go to Culver's
    2) order a small vanilla custard in a cup and a small coffee
    3) put a spoonful of custard into the coffee and stir till it melts
    4) taste and repeat if needed (sometimes Culver's coffee is strong )

    Not such a silly question at all. I rarely drink tea anymore, but love my
    coffee everyday. I add 1 level teaspoon of sugar & a little creamer(regular
    non flavored).

    I don't like tea or coffee. Since I live in the South, everyone gives me a funny look when I say I don't like sweet tea .

    When my friends and I go to Starbucks, I'm always the rebel and order a Strawberries and Creme Frappacino

    I like my tea and coffee very sweet! My iced tea must be super sweet like McDonalds makes it.
    In coffee I usually use a generous helping of french vanilla creamer and 3 splenda packets in one of our large coffee cups.
    Lately I have been on a homemade latte kick and have been using about 2/3 strong coffee sweetened with 2 splenda, 1/3 steamed milk, and a little bit of frothed milk on top. Mmmmmm
    When I am feeling extra daring I substitute a spoonful of chocolate syrup for the splenda

    Hmmm maybe hubby is right and I do have a chronic sweet tooth

    None... I drink my coffee black. The only tea I drink is iced tea and I take that straight too, with just a little lemon sometimes.

    Coffee - half and half, light, no sugar
    Tea - the only thing I use sugar in is iced tea (real tea, not canned) and it's so little my husband gets a kick out of it. He asks me how I can taste it! I'm serious, it's probably less than a third of a teaspoon! Oh well, makes a difference to me.

    I do not drink tea or coffee.
    Growing up my grandma always made sun tea and she'd leave it straight so you could add sugar to your taste. I learned from my grandpa to put TONS of sugar in it. But I just don't like tea anymore.
    As for coffee..I LOVE the smell of coffee but I can't drink it. I like frappacinos (spelling??) from Starbucks, or a white chocolate mocha with lots (too many to even admit) of extra pumps of the white chocolate syrup. So I can hardly taste the coffee.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Two teaspoons of sugar for me! Plus creamer - the richer the better.

    A good three tablespoons of good creme brulee with a small cup of decaffeinated coffee hits the spot before going to work. A hot cup of Cozy Chamomile tea with a tablespoon of honey in it helps the throat after a day of giving tours, it just soothes so nicely when it goes down.
