CCmei I totally feel that lactose intolerance! It's not too bad but a whole cup of regular milk will knock me into the toilet faster than a doggo going after dropped food.

I bear the consequences knowing full well that I enjoyed every moment of consuming lactose containing foods, ice cream, milk tea, cereal, yogurt, and milk pudding, etc...

I'll try out your suggestion of cold brewing the tea overnight!

CCmei Oohhh I never thought about steeping tea overnight in fridge. Do you steep it with boiling or cold water?

Xincerely if you steepnit with boiling water, it will get more bitter and have more tannins released. That's fine if you prefer it strong or the tea is of a quality black tea, but to those who like their tea fragrant or fear bitterness I reccomend cold water.

Aroma escapes through the steam. So that's why hot tea should be enjoyed as is while some of the best ice tea is cold brewed.

Lovely. I am a huge tea fan too. My brother has a tea garden in the mountains and sells organic green tea and oolong tea. If y'all need tea, hit me up. But I can't send anything when covid is still hijacking the economy.

I should really try and get my life together. I love tea but I don't even know the name of the tea that I've been drinking but I'm pretty sure its not one of those classy names I just read. I can't wait till I start earning my own money to horde different kinds of tea.

The best tea I ever had was when I was around 12 or something. My uncle just came back from Beijing and bought some tea. I don't know what kind of tea it was, it was written in Chinese but the taste was so divine. Of course I wasn't able to appreciate it before due to my ignorance of how vast the world was. Now that I know how amazing tea is, I regretted wasting such good tea.

Now I drink tea from dried figs, peach and green tea

CCmei I tried letting it soak overnight and I it works better! But, I still can't get the right porportions of milk, sweetener, etc.

I soaked some green tea last night so maybe it'll taste different compared to the black tea. I also switched to almond milk (since it's all that in my fridge right now) and it wasn't too bad.

Tea, anyone? ...No? Sigh.

Tea.
A drink.
.........
Sigh, I'm bored.

Now it’s hot, I drink mineral water. I drink saffron tea in the evening

IM STILL DEAD BUT I WOULD LIKE TEA

Pls forgive me I had 3 coffees this morning to get through the shift. Medical patients are rapidly increasing as lockdowns ease up (Wow what a COINCIDENCE I wonder why????)

I'm really craving something refreshing like a mixed mint type of tea (ok fine I'm craving a mojito)

"Here's,"

Tap tap

"The mother father,"

Tap tap

"TEA!"

Just kidding. It's story time!

So, my grandparents really like drinking coffee at night, like at 9 or 10. We try to stop them because the caffeine will keep them up all night and isn't good for them. They don't listen. So we made sure to buy non-caffeinated coffee in hopes that they would realize that the coffee isn't working and just stop.

Well, nope. They still drank it thinking it helps them stay awake. Although they still stay up late, the lack of caffeine makes it not so late. Now here's the fun part. I recently bought some starbucks coffee, with real caffeine, that was already pre-made. You can probably guess where this is going now.

My grandma found it cooling in the fridge and was like,

"Yours?"

"... Yeah...?"

"I'll take a little."

"O-okay..." dying inside and panicking since I know that the caffeine is going to keep her up

She ends up drinking the whole bottle and it was like the coffee took away my grandma and replaced her with a laughing boom box. No joke.

I was trying to binge watch a tv show and she sat in the couch next to me, laughing and wheezing at the smallest joke or thing. On screen, the dude hit the ball into another person's face and next to me I hear this,

"Keh akc akc, keh ha ha. Ha ha heh," last heh turns into a wheeze that gets higher in pitch and softer in sound, like it's swirling

Anyway, that night turned into the next day, early in the morning. It was close 5 a.m. when I woke up after falling asleep on my cough and realized that she was trying to help herself to another bottle of coffee.

So yeah. I learned my lesson. Hide my coffee!

And, if you couldn't tell, I need to stop watching tic tak

White peach oolong. Yum.

I ate a lamb rosemary barbecue. I was thirsty. I drank currant tea. An hour has passed. Now I drink delicious tea - strawberries, orange, lemon, mint, basil.

Hello tea forums, it is the suffering tea hoe.

Today I share you my experience with chocolate earl grey milk tea which is delish. Make sure the earl gray is strong and flavorful. Chocolate works well with the slight citrus and strong bergamont surprisingly.

Great boba option, just don't get it with taro. Idk why I got it with taro bits.

Things I drank today:

1. White peach oolong, best to be enjoyed plain. A little sweetener is fine but I don't recommend milk or creamer as it detracts more than highlights the fruity aroma.

2. Golden Road: Pineapple cart beer- a little sour but refreshing

3. Oolong tea with Chinese herbs. Honestly, it's a bottle of Japanese tea packaged by Coca-cola. Not great but basic and good. Not a half bad meal tea that went well with my sushi and gyozas.

4. SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS EVERYBODY SHOTS. I enjoyed a few drinks of Argentinian rum brought by a friend whose family lived there, and by enjoyed I mean it was horrible. My cousin grimaced and found it awful so I was expecting it to be worse. When I drank it down smoothly it wasn't so bad....BUT the aftertaste is awful. No more.
   I can take my drinks but I am getting older and I learned the hard way not to mix my liquors otherwise I would have gone straight to sake or whisky. Not tea but ehhhh life isn't all sweet tea.

Today I drank saffron tea, milk oolong, black long leaf tea from Sri Lanka, black tea from Indonesia.

Rosehip.

Now I drink plain boiling water. Tasty, sweet.

I'm not exactly a young party animal anymore but a few shots of rum and some beer aren't enough to affect me the next morning.

Things I drank today:
1. A Korean grain latte- nice and healthy after a night of drinking. Great powder teas Korea. Thanks.

2. High mountain oolong that I honestly think has been wasted by being left too long, it has a bit of a fermented flavor. It's not just last n8ight's alcohol talking to me.

Maybe. : Chocolate early grey is $2 a cup at my local shop go.

sinfuego dippy bread is goooood can't deny

sinfuego salt in milk tea? I’ve never had it like that. Wow! :0 I usually have my milk tea with ice, since the weather is always so hot. If I‘m drinking it hot, I like to dip cream crackers in my tea. Bread is good but it gets soggy real quick so I prefer crackers... maybe it’s the type of bread I used (plain ol white sandwich bread)? What kind of bread do you eat with your tea?

ihateyounot I'm uyghur and my family makes traditional uyghur bread for our tea lol. It's usually a little hard, which makes it perfect to dip in tea cause it softens the bread up and absorbs and mixes the flavor really nicely Unfortunately, the only real way for non-uyghurs to experience it is by knowing an uyghur friend. It's home food; uyghur restaurants don't really have it

Is anyone else a bubble tea addict? What are your go-to bubble tea orders?
Mine is either roasted oolong milk tea, 70% sugar, no ice with herbal jelly/tapioca or the regular, original milk tea! Though I haven't had any in three long months in quarantine ; ;

ihateyounot Is it like black tea? Black tea, salt, melted lamb, bread? This is what the nomads eat. Farmers eat white tea. Milk is bred on tea leaves of green tea. add the fatty fat of a ram or a snow goat, crumbs are crushed into it. Add pepper, salt to taste.

Today I drank classic Russian tea - black long leaf Idian tea, with sugar three pieces of refined sugar and two circles of lemon.

But I like delicious tea - strawberry syrup, slices of orange, lemon and boiling water

Gourmet_DAO yes, except the tea is white with milk. Black tea is for guests, or when you have a headache lol. And meat goes with everything haha

Today someone on the internet made me crave/miss dipping bread and tea. I also like crackers but crackers and tea biscuits just feel more like an evening or midafternoon snack. Bread is for morning and childhood meals.

It's very hot where I live right now. So when I came home- took my shower, I had my brother pour me some of my dad's iced tea. I normally don't like my dad's tea as he's too careless about quality and taste.

However today a delicious wave of rose and fermented white grape hit me. What lovely iced te-HEY WAIT THIS IS FROM MY TEA STASH?!?!! THAT'S MY LUPICIA, DAD YOU BEEN STEALING FROM MY CABINET AGAIN

yiyuehua I’m not addicted, but I do drink it every now and then. My usual is black milk tea, 30% sugar, less ice and either grass jelly or the classic tapioca pearls. I’m lactose intolerant though so every dose ends with pain. No regrets! :D

today I drank juice from an apple with rose hips, then Nabeglavi Georgian water, Jermuk Armenian water, now I drink ordinary milk oolong.

Y’all having fancy teas while I make do with green, earl grey, or chamomile to wake up or unwind for bed. I have tea everyday as the hours, days, weeks drift by~ =w=
Mmm, looking forward to the day when I can fully relax and try more tea brews~ n-n

Depends on the shop's specialty.

My usual orders vary depending on the brand and store (which is a clear sign of how bad my addiction is).
Usually, I like "tea" focused drinks, not sugar& syrup. Things that really bring out the tea or mix. Usually I get 50-75% and less ice. preferably no boba but I do enjoy pudding or crystal white pearls as add ons. Depending on the drink, aloe and grass jelly works too.

Thankfully I've been blessed with a body that can drink milk but I naturally prefer almond, soy or oatmilk. (in fancy coffee shops I'll even take macadamia or cashew milk)

ihateyounot Aw no :( being lactose intolerant but still drinking milk tea is a whole mood though. According to my friends, the pain is worth it LOL

CCmei Yesss it definitely depends on the shop. I used to have a neighborhood boba store that I love, but they closed down recently ; ; I also have really love the stores that focus on the tea component and less sugar/syrup. + Pudding and grass jelly are just as good (can you see how indecisive I am). Almond and soy milk is amazing but I haven't tried oatmilk too often. Hm, I'll give it a try !

yiyuehua
Riiiiiight

Like one shop I must have the mango snow slush
This brand you should order the tea straight, with subtle flavors like blueberry jasmine

Another is some herbal fruity drink with honey aloe

This one gets matcha cheese foam lattes

That one you have to order wintermelon kumquat with crystal pearls

Another shop is famous for the brown sugar boba milk tea

So what if my favorite teas are oolong and fancy florals- it all depends on the brand and shop. ( I feel like a bubble tea slut....)
