I like tea. I drink between three and six cups a day. With milk and sugar, without milk and sugar, Black Tea, White Tea. Green isn't great for my stomach so I avoid that.
I want to expand my tea horizons so I've just bought some Clipper Nettle Cleansing infusion, 20 bags. It smells nice...it's going to be a bit of an aquired taste though, it has quite a strong, distinct flavour...
Is Nettle Cleansing Infusion just a fancy name for Nettle Tea?

What kind of Teas and Infusions do you peeps drink?
Do you make them from herbs and plants and stuff you gathered yourselves?
What are their properties?
What's your fav?

:coffee:

that song reminds me of the addams family...

Nettle tea with a bit of set honey is top banana.

I also sometimes drink that Tick Tock stuff.

What's Tick Tock?

'Hard' honey, rather than the dribbly stuff.

Tick-tock is a brand of rooibos. I actually started buying it because I like the retro packaging but it tastes quite nice too.

I live in North West England, I'm not sure if sun tea is possible here :D

Interesting way of brewing tea though. How long does it take?

Rooibos, I'll have to try that.

You should be able to find it in most (evil) supermarkets, next to the dribbly stuff.

Keep your tea :D .... it's coffee everytime for me unless I'm stuck somewhere and forced to drink tea instead.

I take far too much sugar in my coffee... however, if someone was to make me tea and stir the cup with the same spoon with which they stirred a sugary tea with, I'd know immediately!

There are few things worse than the taste of sugary tea :barfonu:

I've tried ab... I'm just not keen on the taste of honey and as I love coffee so bloody much, the taste is very important :D

I use raw cane organic if it's consolation :spliff:
