Traditionally served in the Middle East, Tea made with Cinnamon and Cloves and sweetened with sugar but no milk. Served in a glass. Delicious! I use Earl Grey Tea for added flavour.

I have sugar but no milk, I gave up milk in 1968, we could only get long life milk, yuk!

I have recently been off work for a couple of weeks with a really strong dose of the flu. Since then, tea hasn't tasted so nice. DS offered me a cup when I came home from hospital and I was delighted, but it wasn't like it used to be.

Yorkshire Tea. All day every day. In a big 300ml bone china mug.

In my dotage I don't much like thick heavy mugs any more.

Scottish Blend, or proper mint tea as made in Morocco and served in a glass.

Bog standard builders for breakfast. Afternoon green lemon or jasmine. At night 'sleepy tea' in the hope that I do ?

I change my brand from time to time, especially if I see something new in the supermarket! One of my favourites is Yorkshire tea but at the moment I am drinking Clipper Organic tea which I spotted in my local Morrisons.

I like tea strong (I let it stew for five minutes) and then add a splash of milk and one spoonful of sugar. I also use a very large mug.

I've always hated tea; the very smell of it turns my stomach! I wish I did like it as I'm sure I'm missing out, and it can be embarrassing socially when offered tea. (like lemon tea though)

Sainsbury's or Tesco ordinary tea - I drink it all day. I don't like fruit teas or other types of tea.

Twinings breakfast decaf or earl grey for me. A little milk no sugar. Chai tea occasionally.
