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

Mostly Earl grey tea but if we get up late, coffee. Not instant, though,because I don’t like it.

Tea. Always a cup of tea. And maybe a second cup sometimes.

Green tea on waking and proper coffee with milk mid- morning.

Tea. For preference Yorkshire Gold or M&S Gold or M&S Assam or Kenya teas. I like malty teas.
Tried some red bush tea the other day and rather liked it, but not first thing.

Yorkshire Gold tea - if I can get it in these post Brexit days

Tesco cappuccino sachet with no sugare but extra coffee added

Cold well with it being “Yorkshire Tea” …I’d have thought there’d be no cross border tariffs to worry about😉

Two massive mugs of Welsh tea Paned with full fat milk and two sugars. If away from home just fruit juice no tea any where is as good.

Decaff coffee, which I drink all day. What's all this about glasses of water? Never heard of such a thing. Sounds like some health kick that has passed me by.

Mug strong tea - 1/2 spoon of sugar - and a large glass of water. I am trying to drink more water throughout the day to keep hydrated! Don't always manage it though blush

My mum used to drink very strong Yorkshire tea but I like tea very,very weak to the extent I share a bag with my husband - he gets it first. Coffee I don’t mind fairly strong.

That’s exactly how I have my tea. In fact I might just as well have hot water and milk it’s that weak!

My first drink is hot water with half a lemon, a cinnamon stick, an inch of root ginger and a tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar. Instant coffee with breakfast, hot lemon again after lunch, herbal tea after supper. Lots of water during the day.

At home a pot of English Breakfast tea, semi skimmed milk but no sugar. A small glass of pineapple juice. Finally a large glass of tap water to take with all my tablets. If I’m in a hotel, the tea is replaced with coffee.

I am quite unapologetic. Lift, instant lemon tea.

winterwhite I’m on blood thinners, medical advice is to drink between 1 and 1.5 lyrics of water a day.

Twinings English Breakfast Tea. In bed. Though it’s difficult to find any in the shops at the moment. Has anyone else found that?

Sue500 Sat 07-Oct-23 11:14:18

Hot water, two or three cups. Rarely drink nothing else before 10.30.

RosesandLilac Sat 07-Oct-23 11:15:49

Latte macchiato from the Tassimo to enjoy in bed then a small cafètierre of coffee with hot milk. Then you can talk to me 😁

Nicolenet Sat 07-Oct-23 11:19:42

English breakfast tea with skimmed milk and water. Rarely have a cappuccino when I've overslept.

JANH Sat 07-Oct-23 11:20:13

First thing it is fruit tea which my husband makes for me. Then a half glass of low sugar pineapple or apple juice with breakfast. Then I enjoy a leisurely cup of bean to cup coffee (one of only two cups a day), so really enjoyable. Then after my coffee I am much more sociable.

pce612 Sat 07-Oct-23 11:21:30

Decaff earl grey, no milk or sugar.

Kartush Sat 07-Oct-23 11:22:43

Nothing much, coffee and tea give me indigestion so mostly its half a glass of juice

I have Chronic Kidney Disease so have to try and drink a couple of litres of water a day. The first half a litre early in the morning starts me off and helps with early morning hydration.

warm water and honey.
