Coffee, water, tea, milkshake, milk or anything else that's interesting?

My first drink of the day is, and has to be Earl Grey Tea.
There's nothing like a refreshing cuppa to start the day.
I then go throughout the day with iced water. x

Tea

Nescafe Alta Rica coffee with skimmed milk added. Never tea, can't bear the smell of it. Tried a fruit tea but it just tasted like weak Ribena.

A glass of water for my medications then a cup of tea. It’s the best way to greet the morning l know.

It's probably an addiction, but I can't manage without a coffee. Just instant Gold Blend, but absolutely necessary.

Two mugs of Yorkshire Tea brewed in a teapot, which DH brings upstairs because he usually wakes up before me. The Ringtons tea van man was on our doorstep last week trying without success to persuade me to try their tea. I'm sure it is very good, but I will stick to Yorkshire. Sometimes, if I am pretending to make healthy choices I will have fruit tea later on, but I must have a mug of very strong coffee mid-morning. Just one a day - don't want to become addicted!

China rose petal tea. Wakes me up.

Lidl's green tea with mint. I used to drink Twinings Earl Grey but it started to taste too strong. I don't drink coffee at all.

Two or three large cups of very strong coffee with cream in it.

Water first with my 1st lot of medication, then cup of Ringtons decaf tea. With my breakfast another glass of water with my next lot of meds I have to take with food. Mid morning a decaf cup of coffee.

I’m trying to remember to drink a glass of water and lemon when I wake up but … Large mug strong, black tea then strong “real” coffee with milk mid morning. Rooibos or herbal drinks/sparkling water with lemon throughout the day.

Water for my meds, then kefir and or orange juice. Then water lall day.

Clipper White Tea

Missiseff Sat 07-Oct-23 15:21:58

Tea. Tetleys decaf.

hollysteers Sat 07-Oct-23 15:16:17

Small mug of strong tea with brown sugar and half a teaspoon of manuka honey. Don’t usually drink tea away from home, just coffee.
As an aside, Ovaltine for the late evening has disappeared from my local smaller shops? I’ll have to go to the big scary supermarket…

Fernhillnana Sat 07-Oct-23 15:08:17

Green tea, then later black coffee.

Foxyferret Sat 07-Oct-23 15:02:26

Gallons of Yorkshire Tea

Froglady Sat 07-Oct-23 14:54:29

2 mugs of tea every morning. I never used to drink tea until I had weight loss surgery over 20 years ago and my tastes changed afterwards.

tobyianathekid Sat 07-Oct-23 13:38:33

Water. I use to drink breakfast tea but feel that oolong works better for digestion.

Celieanne86 Sat 07-Oct-23 13:20:12

Tea in a china mug, not too much milk no sugar, followed by tea in a china mug etc etc, then a bit later toast with tea in a china mug etc etc and as I’m on water tablets I will leave the resulting after effects to your imagination. Thank heavens for Tena Ladies 🥺

A big cup of real coffee (one and a half shots) with frothy milk. This is my only caffeine of the day as it can keep me awake.
I used to drink a lot of tea but found that I'd gone off the taste, I keep trying to find a tea that I like but no joy.

PaperMonster Sat 07-Oct-23 13:01:07

A cup of hot water followed by latte.

Mallin Sat 07-Oct-23 13:00:40

Cup of builders tea without sugar and half a tongue sandwich with a couple of sweet small tomatoes when I can find them.
Even the dog doesn’t talk to me until I’ve finished breakfast.

Mug of weak tea, I hate strong tea. Mug of weak coffee mid morning and a glass of Kefir.
