crazygal Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 oooo I love drinks! First thiing in the morning I HAVE to have a green tea, followed by a glass of cranberry juice, if I'm daring I have a cup of coffee (go all funny if I drink too much caffeine), then throughout the day its green tea with lemon, green tea with cranberry, any fruit or herbal teas really...and a lovely Clipper organic sleepeasy tea to go to bed with (chamomile, cinnamon and valerian). Oh, and a bit of red or white wine to wash it all down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah B Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 A 'proper' ground coffee in the morning then water all day till a good old glug of wine or G&T in the eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana's flock Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 i used to love coffee (proper coffee, or Nescafe gold). Then I found if I didn't have it for one day I had dreadful headaches. Switched to tea... same thing Now I'm having 100% organic cocoa (either Black & Green, free trade, or the one from Hotel Chocolat), with a bit of sugar and milk... it's yummy, (but I'm cutting down on it as I've just started a diet this morning.) Wine is lovely too: red in winter, chilled dry white in the summer, and white zinfidel (rose) at any time as I can guzzle it down as if it was water... I love water too and often do one glass of wine to one of water - avoids hangovers like nothing else! ...but of course, now with the diet...

Cinnamon Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I never drink tea - I loath the stuff I have one coffee a day - Kenco Really Rich. Then its Pellegrino water all day & a glass of red in the evening I have taken a fancy to Bovril lately too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 For me it's Hot Chocolate, late afternoon/evening with about 3 or more biscuits-any kind really! Unfortunately I go for Cadbury's hot chocolate, we did try the Fair Trade stuff from the Co-op before, but even for me it's far too cocoa-ey and is literally Cocoa with some sugar in it.

Snowy Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Lots of caffeine! Very strong co-op tea with a hint of semi skimmed milk, or strong black coffee with two sweeteners (even when not on a diet - sugar is not quite the right taste ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Tea with hardly any milk and I sometimes leave the tea bag in the cup (not good manners I know!). my mum drinks tea the same. I do on the whole, prefer cold drinks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Tea with sweetners. How many sweetners depends on the day I'm having... and any biscuit will do! Lots of squash too. Now I think about it...I'm amazed I don't spend all night going to the loo!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Tea here, I'm a bit odd and use tea leaves, and mix half Assam and half Ceylon couple of cups of coffee during the morning on days off work, and tea during the evening with the occasional glass of wine in the evening.

One Man Banned Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Coffee. Lots of I normally drink about 10-14 cups a day, would have it on a drip if I could. Not fussed if it's instant or not really, but much prefer a nice latte from "gilbert" Kate likes the look of him and keeps threatening to take him away In the evenings tho I do like a glass of wine, rose generally and if it's a party night then I move on to vodka and coke. It's amazing I get so tired A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Licken Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 A cup of proper coffee first thing in the morning. No milk ever - horrid stuff. Then I try and avoid tea and coffee through the day. Redbush or lemon and ginger at work. If it's a bad day then another coffee at break. As the week goes on I need a second cup of coffee before I meet kids in the morning (my mornings start earlier than most non chicken peoples!) I love tea though, From a teapot. Not in a rush with a slice of lemon and a nice biscuit - almost as good as an egg and toast soldiers on a sunday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 , tea isn't the big thing... which anyone who's ever tasted lipton yellow label tea won't be too surprised by... Oh gosh, that is such VILE stuff. When I worked, I travelled extensively, in Europe and much further afield. My heart would sink when I found those littrle yellow bags in my hotel room or, worse, at breakfast. I love my morning cup of tea, but I would rather go without than drink Liptons.

Mrs Webmuppet Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I happen to like Liptons Yellow Label tea, but then I drink my tea black and fairly weak. Mr Webmuppet also likes Yellow Label tea, he too drinks it black and not too strong. I also drink decaff fair tade coffee (black with one sugar) or rooibos and vanilla tea with a dash of honey (otherwise known at work as stinky tea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisaroo2 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hot chocolate with squirty cream on the top! Ooooh! can almost taste it! Hot choccy goes down great on a winters morning watching the snow fall softly outside, whilst snuggled up in front of a log fire with man and cats! You get the picture now... I'll shut up!

Ziggy Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 much prefer a nice latte from "gilbert" Gilbert does look nice... big too... Sirius gives me my coffee... he's smaller but makes a decent coffee My mum quite likes lipton yellow label tea as well... but then she's never really had 'proper' english breakfast tea... I have started to take my pg tips with me on holiday!! I would take them to mum's too, but worry she'll be offended... I might offer her a box of various tea one day as a present... come to think of it that's not a bad idea, she once had earl grey and quite liked it... could make her a tea gift hamper... with digestives and shortbread, and some marmalade... Lisaroo2... that description of that hot chocolate moment sounds heavenly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Don't mention the hot chocolate, Little Miss Webmuppet likes hot chocolate made with full fat milk, with squirty cream and marshmallows..............Its all the fault of the lovely lady at our sailing club cafe she got her hooked on it!

chocchick Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I like a lot of things but my current drinks are decaf tea/fairtrade caffeinated tea in moderation (No sugar and cow milk.) /pepperment tea/red bush tea. I like green tea and Earl Grey and my friend has a spiced apple tea but I can never see it in the supermarket. She has Chai too, should buy it. I like to eat cake with it when I can Not so keen on coffee as bitter and have to have 2 sugars in it to drink it without suffering. I get shakey/headachy on strong coffee, partly as I don't have much caffeine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If I choose Mocha when I'm out, I have to have it made with de-caff coffee as I don't have any other caffeine and one cup of normal Mocha makes me ill for the rest of the day I love Mocha.
