Well boys and girls, I'm bored, sick to death of going over the aetiology of neurological disorders, so I wanted to see if there were any others out there that have discovered the amazing world or tea without milk?

It was only the other day I went to make the lady a brew and found we'd ran out of milk. So I made one anyway and bloody loved it. I'm a fan of iced tea so when I think about it, it doesn't seem too strange. However, I popped round to my sisters yesterday and when making one I asked her to hold the milk and they both thought it was a bit odd!

I'm also out of normal sugar back here so am using good old Silver Spoon sugar cubes. I find them a bit rubbish really, and ony my fourth cup since 20:00, I think 3 cubes per cup is a tad excessive. No doubt I'll be up all night, but seeing as there is only a few days left for exams I might as well make the most of it.

Joy. Pointless thread? Makes a change from 'oh noes, I'm out of milk, what should I do, my girlfriend wants to go on a break because of it, spec me a new one?' ;)

Tea and coffee are supposed to be drank without milk. People who put milk in either are losers.
 
Probably depends on what kind of tea really. For my 'regular' cuppa i reckon it would be vile, but i've quite recently taken a fancy to Redbush naturally decaffeinated teabags, which i reckon could be quite nice sans milk :confused:
 
I drink my tea in pint mugs.

1/4 pint of milk and I pour the sugar in from the jar...god knows how much. lots.

Years ago was briefly on a milk free diet but never switched back to using milk in tea. So much nicer without. Drop the sugar too tbh.
 
I never have milk in tea or coffee unless someone at work makes me one by mistake (and that's pretty much always, I seem to be the only one there who doesn't take milk).
 
Regular tea, ugh... needs milk and two sugars. I'm not a fan of tea that much anyway but I try to drink different types infrequently for general health.

Coffee however is gorgeous when black, but is far more potent. If I'm working from home I'll have mug after mug of steaming hot black coffee throughout the day and not care if my breath could curl wallpaper. If I'm out I'll usually drop milk in to soften it slightly. Plus some blends work well with a drop of milk.
 
Ah, a good turnout for none milkers. I used to swear by tonnes of milk (in coffee anyway) and a shed load of sugar. I was down to one sugar.

Those who haven't tried tea sans milk (normal tea, PG tips or whatever your tipple) give it a shot. You maybe pleasantly surprised.
