You can put SOME sugar in, just don't load it down with sugar. I put in about a cup of sugar for 3 quarts of tea.

It's not a brew if it doesn't have one third sugar to liquid beverage. Heretic.

We're not making tea-flavored rum here...

Oh god.. I have to make tea-flavored rum.

That actually sounds seven kinds of delicious. Do want.

brb research

Drink coffee instead. It's delicious once you get used to it and it doesn't make you feel like shit after you're done like soda does.

Second this.

I manage to stay in great shape despite consuming, on average, 30-40 oz. of coffee (with extra sugar and creamer) each day. So I'd imagine it can't be that bad for your health.

Same here. I roughly drink between 250ml / 1 cup and 1.5L /  6 cups of proper brewed coffee every day; no cream, light milk, sugar and occasionally I drop in a cardamom pod with the brew and drink it black; nothing feels so good as a Lebanese-style coffee.

Still in almost exactly my perfect height-weight range, despite my massive sugar / milk consumption due to my love of coffee. That'll likely change when I'm older though.

Also Zero is right, sprite is pretty nice even though there's no caffeine in it.

Honestly, I think it's disgusting unless there's a crapload of stuff in it. I'm also not sure about you guys' obsession with leaf-water and crushed-bean-water. I just don't get it.

[Reudh]

Healthier.
Tastier once you're properly attuned to it.

More natural caffeine high, without the sugar high and crash unless you are using huge amounts of sugar in it.

Tastier once you're properly attuned to it.

That means it's an acquired taste. That means it's not tasty. In fact, you've probably just confirmed that it's actually pretty disgusting.

[Reudh]

Soft drinks are the same for me, with the exception of ginger beer and lemonade. It takes repeated drinking of them to make them taste at least palatable; to me at the moment Cola tastes like mould.

[Iosyn]

Eh, you've never lived until you've eaten coffee beans raw.

Seriously though, when all I can ever find is instant coffee and teabags I just...
I just don't feel english anymore.

What happened to loose tea, Co-op? Tesco? WHAT HAPPENED TO LOOSE TEA. ಠ_ರೃ

[MaximumZero]

The only way I drink cola is doused in rum...so I honestly have no idea what it tastes like. Here's to hoping you didn't get a bad one.

[forsaken1111]

Loose tea? Isn't it the same as what is in a teabag, but you put the filter under it instead of around it?

Re: Soda... I really only drink Pepsi if I drink it at all. Throwback Pepsi preferred, with no HFCS

[Iosyn]

indeed, pepsi is the only soft drink I'll take. Cola is for hipsters.

Also using a filter for loose tea doesn't allow it to infuse correctly.
Must make sure to warm the teapot prior to pouring the boiling water in, as well.

[Zangi]

Wow... sprite has no caffeine?  Cause I used to drink tons of that as a kid.  Never did take to the cola/pepsi...  glad of that now.

Though, these days, anytime I take non Red Bull/Monster drinks, I crash from the sugar pretty hard... sprite/gatorade being a big offender of that...
