Lemon tea

Tweet

I like to have a cup of milk tea with my breakfast. It usually includes some spices, like cinnamon and ginger. But when I am at home, sometimes I have another cup of tea in the middle of the morning, when I would normally be teaching. Today, for the first time in many years, I made lemon tea. I sometimes buy bottled lemon tea, which is tasty, but I hadn't made my own. I had forgotten that when you add the lemon it becomes lighter! Interesting. I wonder why? Also, I put sugar in the tea. Fine. I got out the bottle of lemon juice and... squirted the first batch on my kitchen counter. Oops. I squeezed a little more gently and the second time I hit the teacup. Oh well, at least lemon juice is supposed to be good for cleaning! (It actually was. When I wiped off the counter, a tea stain came off.) Do you prefer lemon tea, milk tea, plain black tea, green tea, oolong tea, other somewhat "exotic" teas, or no tea?
