Sensei  Sin City |  Subject: Cream in Your Tea?Could be a euphemism.... But it's not. The brits do it. What say you? As for me, I usually don't, but it tastes pretty good when I remember to use it. Edited by Aikidoman 2009-01-21 6:18 PM |

Every brit that learns I do this is surprised, as it's not very "American"| 2009-01-21 6:17 PM in reply to: #1921202 |
Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? ChrisM - 2009-01-21 4:14 PM Yup. Learned it from an English girl on a dive boat in Australia in '99 I like it as well and get the same comment when I remember to do it. However, I have switched to green, and for some reason, cream only goes with a nice british Earl Gray or similar. Not so much with green. |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? Nope, not for me. Just a nice steeped cup of Earl Grey with some sugar. Occassionally if I'm sick, throw some lemon in it (like now .... bloody cold!!). |

Pro 4612  MA | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? depends on what kind of tea. Use to drink tea with milk a lot as a kid. Now I prefer tea with lemon. Can't stand milk/cream/sugar in green tea. Not even Chinese/Japanese black tea. Nor any other oriental herbal tea. Oriental tea must be plain. |

Pro 3906 St Charles, IL | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? ChrisM - 2009-01-21 6:14 PM Yup. Learned it from an English girl on a dive boat in Australia in '99 Had a co-worker from Leicester for several years. He introduced me, and I drink it this way. Though with milk, not cream. He also introduced me to Jaffa cakes (mcvitties of course), damn him! |

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? Yeah, but depends on the tea. Green tea or herbal tea gets lemon and maybe some honey. Black teas, Earl Grey etc, I like with milk & sugar. |

Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? Never cream, always milk. And Jaffa cakes are fantastic, but they're no chocolate covered digestives. |

Uh no, the Brits don't do cream in their tea...As the son of a brit I can say "only heathens would do this" I've never yet met an english person that puts cream in their tea! black tea = milk (and maybe sugar) or lemon green, herbal (including that nancy "earl grey" tea) just plain! |

I use milk (and sugar) - I understand that the tannins in tea can curdle the cream, which would be nasty. |

| Master 2136 A Prairie Home | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? D.K. - 2009-01-21 9:23 PM depends on what kind of tea. Use to drink tea with milk a lot as a kid. Now I prefer tea with lemon. Me too. Mostly because tea with lemon is less caloric. For black tea, I like it with condensed milk or evaporated milk. Same with coffee. Lest not forget, tea, a drink with jam and bread, with jam with jam with jam with jam and bread. |

| Master 1609 Gold Coast Australia. | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? I drink it mainly with milk, learned this in Australia. To me it is less 'caloric', because you don't need to use much sugar. Still drink tea with lemon and honey/sugar, but to make it taste good I end up with more sugar. Green tea - always without milk or lemon, just honey. |

| Master 1702 Southern Ontario | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? I drink milk in my coffee and tea. I don't like the oily-ness of cream - so I won't drink it in anything. I also don't like whipped cream for the same reason. |

| Champion 5312 Calgary | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? yeah, but only if I am out. Same with coffee. At home, in the office, it is black. In a restaurant, I double double it. You do know what double double means don't you? Please say you do. |

| Master 1887 Loveland, Ohio | Subject: RE: Cream in Your Tea? No kidding. I was watching Frasier last night and Roz asked if he wanted any tea. He said, "Yes, with milk, please." I've never heard of this. Then there's this thread today. Oooooo. Spooky. I've got a pot of water boiling as I write this. Will I go green or Earl Grey? Will I use milk or not? Somebody pick for me. |
