Feel free to correct me........the British love their tea and the Americans their coffee. Have I got it right so far......... Each has their own way of preparing their favourite brew........ My brother ,the tea planter says the correct way of making a cup of tea is to pour boiling water over the tea leaves. Let it stand for five minutes..Then in a cup add sugar and milk and last of all pour in the tea.
My SIL cooks her tea .Yes ,she actually boils the water and tea leaves together for a few minutes till it becomes a poisonous concoction,then adds the milk and sugar.
The other SIL loves her coffee.She pours boiling water over powdered coffee beans,lets it stand overnight.next morning she adds jaggery and boiling hot water to the brew. Surprisingly it tastes delicious.
Which one do you prefer? How do you make a cup of tea or coffee?.

i like to have a hot cup of coffee in the morning to kick start my day and green tea in the middle of the day....the way i prepare coffee and tea are similar. i'll put a tablespoon of sugar and a dash of coffee on my mug and just pour over the hot water and stir & same way with the preparation of tea.

@rymebristol Some people drink black tea and add a pinch of salt to it.

You drink your tea and coffee without milk?.Green tea is a refreshing drink especially in the middle of the day.

@jennyjoy Italians are "espresso" drinkers, because most of them do not like at all the so called "American" coffee. To leave the coffee grinds in water for hours increase the concentration of caffeine, the longer it stays, the more unhealthy the coffee is.

I prefer coffee. I like it stronger with just a couch of milk.
