Today's silly question...

[Randi]

How much sugar do you use in a cup of tea/coffee?

I use two small teaspoons in a normal sized mug - for both coffee and tea. Funny, my mom used sugar in her tea, but not in her coffee. Over the years I went from four teaspoons to two. Gosh, I feel healthy!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I use liquid creamer so that sweetens it. I've never added sugar to my coffee. I do have a hard time finding a creamer I like. The new ones, "Bailey's" are pretty good. Plain old Coffeemate is ok too.

I love love love the holiday creamers!! I hope we get pumpkin spice this year. With the shortage of pumpkins everywhere, I have my doubts.

[Catherinedana]

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.

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.

[Pinot's Mom]

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.

[Taz_Zoee]

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.

[Lillycat]

...i love both coffee and tea.....both without sugar..... love ice cream in coffee.....yum....that is the best.....enjoy white, green tea and a few of the herbals.....no ice cream in the tea though.....smile.....

[Husky_mom]

the only coffee I´d drink would be starbucks frapuccino in vanilla... it´s rare that I find a nice tasting cold coffee.. and cold is they only way I´d ever drink it.. even if the smell is so yummy.. lol

tea?.. I´d pass...

[sirrahbed]

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

[Bonny]

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.

[jennielynn1970]

Hmmmm.... it's different depending on how it's served for me.

Hot tea, I take 2 tsp. of sugar and a little creamer, depending on the type of tea. Sometimes no creamer at all.

Iced tea I like unsweetened. If it's store brand iced tea, I like lemonade tea (1/2 lemonade, 1/2 iced tea).

Coffee.... don't drink it very much, but if it's hot coffee, it's about 1/3 creamer and 2/3 coffee and about 6tsp of sugar. Light and sweet, that' how I order it at Dunkin Donuts, lol.

Iced coffee... Double creamer, double sugar. Not sure what that equals, but have been told it's A LOT!!

[Karen]

It varies time to time. Sometimes I like sweet hot tea, sometimes not sweet, never with either milk of cream. I'm not really a coffee drinker, despite my Swedish roots, I love coffee ice cream, and sometimes a plain coffee coolata from Dunking Donuts, but those hardly count as coffee!

[Felicia's Mom]

I drink both coffee and tea without cream or sugar.
