Date: 2017-01-20 12:15 pm (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 2017-01-20 07:30 pm (UTC)When I am at home, with almond milk and Stevia. When out and about, I'll just put in half & half and use a Stevia packet that I keep in my purse.
2. How do you like your tea?
If you mean black tea, then with Lactaid milk* and Stevia.
If you mean herbal tea, then I like it plain.
*We buy Lactaid milk because it lasts longer in our fridge than regular, and not because of lactose-intolerance.
3. What's your favorite late night beverage?
Does this mean a night cap? I don't have one.
4. If you could only drink one thing for the next week, what would it be?
Vanilla Rooibos herbal tea. It would keep me hydrated and I could drink it hot or cold.
5. If you were on vacation, what would be the first thing you'd drink to celebrate?
Depends on where I am! Tropical/hot location: Usually something like a skinny margarita or a prosecco. If it's a more urban location then a glass of red wine.
(no subject)
Date: 2017-01-20 09:07 pm (UTC)What sort of red - merlot, zin, etc.?
(no subject)
Date: 2017-01-20 08:27 pm (UTC)Black and decaffeinated; no sugar. Or (still decaff) white with sugar. But that's a different drink.
2. How do you like your tea?
Frequently. Fair-trade. Strongish; plenty of milk. Honey in the first cup of the day and sometimes in the others. I like lots of herbal teas and tea with stuff in (chai, Earl Grey, etc.) but mostly drink Just Normal Tea (or 'theft').
3. What's your favorite late night beverage?
It depends on the night! Water, or whisky (something peaty) or 'milkshake' of Teisseire fruity sirop with almond milk.
4. If you could only drink one thing for the next week, what would it be?
Water.
5. If you were on vacation, what would be the first thing you'd drink to celebrate?
Tea, probably. If I was on holiday outside the UK it would likely be something more locally appropriate, though.

Date: 2017-01-21 01:20 am (UTC)ANSWER: I do not like coffee. Never touch the stuff.
2) How do you like your tea?
ANSWER: In a big mug. :) I drink a lot of tea, usually hot, especially early in the day. I try to not have any after late afternoon because I'm very sensitive to caffeine, but I hate trying to wake up without it. English Breakfast in the morning, Earl Gray or Constant Comment the rest of the day. Iced tea with meals sometimes when I'm out to eat.
3) What's your favorite late night beverage?
ANSWER: Don't have one really. I keep a glass of water on my nightstand, and if I have a dessert before bed that calls for milk, a glass of milk.
4) If you could only drink one thing for the next week, what would it be?
ANSWER: I guess it would have to be water. It goes with everything. :)
5) If you were on vacation, what would be the first thing you'd drink to celebrate?
ANSWER: I'm retired. I'm always on vacation. LOL If I have to celebrate something with an adult beverage, it's either beer or wine (probably white, although I drank a merlot last night and really liked it).

A friend once tipped out a coffee flavoured drink but didn't wash the glass out before filling it with a different milk flavoured drink and it still contained too much coffee for me. @_@;
2. How do you like your tea?
I like having a variety of teas in a variety of ways, depending on what I'm planning on drink it with; though I've quit dairy due to food allergies.
I'm ridiculously fond of red (rooibos) tea and tend to either drink it straight, or with honey, or with almond milk; though this week I've been trying to use up some of my older teas, so have been drinking a "vanilla rooibos" and "summer fruits" mix black.
My favourite tea is from a "make your own chai" mix from a special T2 did, and it's got a red (roobios) base, toffee mix, pink peppercorns, and shredded coconut. I either drink it black or with almond milk.
Ginger tea I tend to have with honey and lemon.
I generally only really like black type teas if it's with sugar/honey/or sweet almond milk; or something like a peach tea infusion.
Other types of tea like white/green teas I tend to prefer straight and warm.
3. What's your favorite late night beverage?
Apple Chamomile.
4. If you could only drink one thing for the next week, what would it be?
Rooibos tea is caffeine free so it doesn't interfere with my sleep but can help keep me alert, and I find it very refreshing.
5. If you were on vacation, what would be the first thing you'd drink to celebrate?
Depends on the location, and what's available. If it's a cold place, I'll try to do a hot chocolate with almond milk or soy milk.
Due to a mild yeast allergy I usually avoid non-distilled alcohol, so I tend to do tequila and lemonade soda mixes, but sometimes for a special occasion I'll indulge and have a cup of sake (rice wine).

Date: 2017-01-21 12:29 pm (UTC)Great answers!
Friday Five on Saturday
Date: 2017-01-21 11:46 pm (UTC)Chocolate-covered espresso beans! I don't actually drink coffee unless I have a migraine and there is no available tea.
2. How do you like your tea?
Usually hot without any additives. Sometimes, though, I love a good masala chai, with all the sugar and the spices and the milk (or coconut milk).
3. What's your favorite late night beverage?
Depends on how I'm feeling. If I've got a migraine, I can drink strong black tea all day and still pass out at bedtime. Usually, though, I try to keep caffeine levels light at night, so I'll stick with herbal tea (maybe something orange-flavored), cocoa, or relatively low-caffeine twig tea. In warmer weather, I often prefer fruit juice or plain water.
4. If you could only drink one thing for the next week, what would it be?
This week it's tea, either black or oolong. Another week, it could be different.
5. If you were on vacation, what would be the first thing you'd drink to celebrate?
That depends: where is this vacation, and do they have any special drinks there?
