How do you like your... Coffee, tea, flavored water, flavored milk?

I believe you can learn a lot about a person based on the way they prepare their beverages. So... How do you prepare your coffee or tea? If you don't like those, what about hot cooca or flavored milk and flavored waters? What about you? I like a little coffee with my creamer. I actually use No sugar added creamer, sometimes milk (if I'm running low on creamer) and a splish of keto approved sweetener. I like True Lemon & True Lime water flavoring packs now... Kind of addicted actually. Tea requires sugar and sometimes milk, honey or creamer depending on what it is. Soo.. What about you?

@ScribbledAdNauseum It sure does. I don’t like a real strong coffee taste though.

@Tina30219 Me neither. I like to taste the coffee, but I want the creamers to overpower it just a bit. I love the smell of plain coffee though, so go figure.

Same. Plain black coffee is too bitter.

I can drink coffee black. But I often have it with a splash of almond milk. I can drink tea as is. Green tea is always straight for sure. But other teas, I could have honey, maybe lemon, but they're not necessary.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Oh, I remember you saying that. I wonder about cashew milk. Green tea is a bit bitter. I don't think I've ever had it "sweet".

@much2say I need to try cashew milk one day. I keep wanting to try it but the store I regularly go to doesn't have it.

I wish I could drink almond milk but it makes my stomach hurt. I used to drink green tea without sweeteners, but once I tried it with a sweetener and now I use it 9/10.

I like plain water. Coffee and tea with cream. I really must give up on sugar.

Keto sugar... It reacts differently in your body. I don't have a lot of "sugary" things, but I use the keto approved alternatives when I do.

I sometimes drink coffee if I need to stay up late. Sometimes I also drink milk or flavored water in the morning because it's a perfect drink to start a day in my opinion. But my favorite is tea! I love drink various type of tea. Since there are soo many kind of tea and each kind have different taste, I really excited to taste every new kind of tea. But this far, my favourite is earl grey tea. This tea is originated from england and what makes this tea special is the addition of bergamot oil on this tea so it has a distinctive smell and taste. I really love the distinctive taste of this tea! And I also like ocha tea. This traditional tea from Japan is famous because it's benefit for health. So do you also know many kind of tea? What is your favorite tea?

I have never heard of Ocha Tea, I will have to look it up. I go to a tea room once a month to enjoy tea with friends. I've tried many types, but my favorite is Jasmine Green Tea.

@Charon29 Green tea is also full of antioxidants which I love. I will look into it later, maybe I can find some to buy here at the asian markets.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Sure, you can do some research about ocha tea later. Oh and I've tried jasmine green tea. It has a nice smell and sweet taste. You have a good taste!

I love my coffee black with just sugar. But if I'm eating out, I would order Nescafe with milk and sugar.

I use flavored teas (e.g., cinnamon stick, peppermint, chocolate mint, lemon lift), so I don’t have to add anything except Splenda for sweetener. I’ve reached the point where I add some cold water to “cool down” the water when I drink it hot, though.

I'll add a splash of water or a small ice cube if the tea is really too hot. I don't drink a lot of herbal teas anymore, only when I'm going to the tea room.

@ScribbledAdNauseum — I drink herbal or decaf at night, just so I’m not bouncing off the walls at 4 AM.

@FourWalls Caffeine just doesn't make me that energetic. It wakes me a little, but not enough to disrupt. I don't know why that is.

I like my no calorie flavored water to be wet. I don't see a reason to drink it if it isn't wet. (I used to drink soda, fruit juice and tea... but my doctor wants me to cut sugar out of my diet, so I'm working at doing that... *sigh*)

I used to drink soda all the time, but then one day I just... stopped. I would get a coca cola if I went to Mcdonald's or something, but the rest of the week I just didn't drink soda. I'm not even a big fan of sweet tea (which is a crime for someone living in the south). Coffee has become an addiction though.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I used to drink coffee all the time but my first wife made me quit. The smell of coffee would make her throw up. After our divorce, I've tried drinking coffee several times but it just tastes... nasty now. I haven't had juice or soda in several weeks now. I miss it. So, did you finally wake up? Good morning!

@rakski Yes, you have to be careful with sugar as sometimes you add too much and it's too sweet.

I tend to get the cold brews or iced options when out too. A friend of mine has a cold brew coffee maker that they use more than their keurig.

I drink my decaf coffee (one cup a day) with powdered creamer and sugar. When I drink tea, it's with about 1/2 tsp. of sugar -- nothing else.

I might have to consider decaf in the future, but I haven't had a lot of those same tremor feelings after drinkng coffee lately. I like powdered creamer sometimes, but I usually go with international delight.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I drink 'medium' coffee as we call it here, it's black coffee with a teaspoon of sugar (I can't drink bitter coffee) it is prepared by putting water with sugar to boil and then adding a teaspoon of black coffee, it is a classic coffee here and it is most often used.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I usually drink 3 such coffees sometimes 4 times a day. I had friends from abroad visiting and of course I was making homemade coffee to try, they barely drank one, they say it's too strong, they're not used to it ... and it's like drinking hot water to me

I add sugar to my green tea, but I'll drink it plain too sometimes. I've tried black coffee and I can't stomach it. Actually, the very first time I tried it was with my grandparents. I was around 8 and was curious. They gave me a cup of black coffee and I didn't drink another cup of coffee until I was 20.

Your comment reminds me of a sign I saw at Hobby Lobby once. It said, "I thought I liked coffee. Turns out I like creamer." lol. I drink my coffee black.
