This stuff is addictive! What do you have in your coffee or tea?

I went to Trader Joe's yesterday on my home from the flaky day care. I was out of coffee at home, but couldn't find an instant that was to my liking, so I grabbed a box of individual servings, complete with sugar and creamer added.
To cut to the chase, this is some yummy stuff! It's a tad sweeter than I have my coffee when I add sugar, but I don't mind. I think the cost was $2.50 for ten packets.
What do you have in your coffee or tea? I tend to have my first morning cup of coffee black, and then add a bit of milk for my second and third cups. When I have tea, I generally don't add anything, though I occasionally add a bit of milk. I have heard that some take a bit of lemon with their tea (is that a British thing?), but I never do that, though I love lemon.

I only drink regular old Orange Pekoe tea. I put I tiny bit of milk in it and use Stevia sweetener. Occasionally I drink herbal teas if I am nursing a stomach ailment... usually Ginger Lemon tea. I used to drink peppermint tea but found it gives me a little indigestion. I can't drink hot chocolate either as it also gives me indigestion. I don't care for coffee at all.

If you get Sweet Rose Tea or Chamomile, it could be good for health as well as light on stomach.

@TheHorse
The Sweet Rose and Chamomile come in the category of Herbal or Green Teas.
The Brooke Bond Red Label / Taaza / Tata Tea Premium or Gold are base fir Milk tea.
Now I am thinking should I do separate posts in Teas and Coffee !

I have never been to Trader Joe's. We just get the store-brand instant coffee. I don't like black coffee and prefer a latte.

@celticeagle I wonder how many "steps" it takes to walk off a latte.

In India, we rather favor Chai where Milk and Tea leaves are boiled together.
Britishers probably preferred just to pour milk over the boiled Tea leaves in water.

90 percent of the time just milk in my coffee, which suits me fine.

I put chocolate coffee creamer in my coffee and sugar to taste when I make it.

@TheHorse Yeah. The idea is to have a hint of coffee taste, and make it drinkable.

@LindaOHio Maybe it's all "psychological."

@coldplay8 My Indian friend at the liquor store says honey and garlic in hot water is good for allergies.

I prefer Milk Tea infused with grated ginger in the morning and with Fennel and Cardamom in the evening; in summers.
Winters are ginger or occassionally Clove.
The brand I prefer is Brooke Bond Red Label (corrected)
I will try to share a proper picture later on.
We aren't much of Coffee enthisiasts but may be Vanny is more fond of Coffee.
Some brands we try are :
Bru
Nescafe Classic
Nescafe Gold
(2 and 3 from Nestle)
Tata Grand
Photos might come in some future time.
(For Brooke Bond Red Label)

I drink flavored tea (such as peppermint bark, lemon loaf, and cinnamon), so I put nothing in my tea except Splenda.
