Poll: Do you put sugar in your tea?

[Duke]

Yes but half a teaspoon.

 

[Chojin]

If I'm having tea then I never put sugar in my food. Not really a condiment person.

 

[robj20]

No, just tea leaves and water.

 

[chaparral]

Just witnessed a guy put two teaspoons of sugar in a relatively small mug of tea. Madness.

How can you drink a cup of tea without putting in 2 tea spoons of sugar...

Am guessing you're the kind of person that will also eat toast without putting sugar on it

 

[arc@css]

I seldom drink tea as the tannins makes my mouth dry, though on the rare occasion I do I like to add either xylitol or Truvia.

 

[Blackjack Davy]

No, no, no, no. Its an abomination. Go commando or nada.

Years ago I used to have two sugars in tea and coffee but I weaned myself off it and now sugary drinks taste disgusting!

I used to have 4 but my parents made me cut down to 2. Then I cut it to one, then half, then nothing at all. Anything with sugar on it/in it tastes disgusting now my mother still sticks it in my tea when I visit, urgh!

Half a teaspoon in my tea with milk or coffee + coffee-mate, I tried vanilla coffee-mate while in New York a few year ago, was amazing, wish they sold it over here.

I'll try coffee and tea without sugar, maybe I'll get used to it.

 

[Karl]

I've voted no because most of the time I don't, but very occasionally I like one with a sugar in. For a treat.

 

[ElliorR]

Half a tsp and a splash of milk to take it off black. Also strong.

 

[robfosters]

Yorkshire tea, nice and strong, dash of milk and absolutely no sugar

 

[arknor]

why do people even care if others are clones of themselves ? are you terrified to be ridiculed because someone else does things differently? gotta be one of the sheep?

Also it would depend on what type of tea it is anyway

 

[Ninco!]

No sugar but will drink a cuppa if it has a sugar. So when someone goes eww I cant drink this, I'll happily hoover it up! If hungover sugar in tea.

Its like when you have Earl Grey, milk or no milk, full fat milk etc!

Can't believe 60% of people don't have sugar in tea

I'ma buy a drink but then disguise the flavour as much as possible.

you might as well just drink sugar water

I both do and don't. Sometimes do (hence comment earlier), sometimes don't. If someone gives me a tea with no sugar and it's an Earl Grey or Assam or if I make a Harneys brew then I'm indifferent as a Victorian Fog or Tower of London has a super unique flavour that a tea neither makes it better nor worse.

Yeah but you're a wrong'un!

 

[ttaskmaster]

White with two is NATO standard. You didn't often get a choice in the matter, so it's become my default.
Two in coffee, although milk/whitener is at least optional in most cases. No idea why, as the process is the same....!!

 

[markoboyo11]

3 or 4 depending on the cup size, or about 8 of these tiny paper sachets you get at petrol stations

 

[keyser van someone]

Sugar isn't a required vitamin unfortunately, we could happily live without it, but we're basically addicted to it. Thanks Victorians! also thanks for the coke.

I could drink tea without but got into habit. Coffee 1.5 sugars. Also that caramel syrup for coffee is basically crack. Horrible in tea though

I eat clean a few years ago and went without added sugar things for 2 months. In the end anything containing sugar is overkill, but if you do eat some the next day your brain is on a mission to find more!

 

[Reuben klang]

I use to drink my tea with 2. I went through a phase of drinking 5+ cups a day and my head would be fizzing due to the amount of sugar.

Cut the sugar out and started using honey, had that for 2 or 3 years then went travelling for 3 months and couldn’t get a honey that i liked so progressively moved away from it.

So now no longer have sugar.
