Hah! I’m sipping one of them fancy teas as I write this. I forget the name, the teabags all go in the jar together, but anyway it’s weak as piss, even after three minutes stewing. Still, it’s hot and wet which is all that counts.

I prefer both my tea and coffee to be strong, but I’ll take either of them with or without milk and sugar. Tea at work is dreadful, so I always have coffee there and nearly always have coffee at home.

Do I win a prize for the most boring comment ever?

Tea and coffee are both best drunk black and sugarless. Baby coffee is weak and milky and yes, I know people who drink it. When I was a little girl, our Dutch au pair told me that tea with milk is called ‘baby tea’ in Holland – I promptly gave up milk.

I like Lapsang though. Smoky, like Laphroaig.

It’s tea with milk that is the problem. Tea, black, no sugar – now that’s the stuff. You can actually taste the tea and not cow lactations.

Try it. You might be surprised. And use good quality tea, really boiling water and don’t let it steep for too long.

And yes, I was the one who brought both a tin of Earl Grey leaf tea to the marriage as well as the filter coffee machine. What did my lovely wife bring? Vodka, lime and soda. You see? – a match made in heaven.

I ran out of coffee the other day, so thought I would give the tea stuff another try. Drinkable, but not for me. Bring on the coffee.
