Iced tea is nice and green tea is also very good. Earl Grey is ok but the first two are preferable. Also fruit and herbal tea isn't bad either.
I was told that earl grey tastes like fag ash, count me out...
Hot tea with lemon and molasses is my preferred remedy for a sore throat, I rarely drink tea otherwise.

Who on earth would put corn in tea?

How can you drink that soluble horse waste?
Civilised peoples drink their tea boiling hot, with a spot of milk and optional sugar or a slice of lemon.
Lady Grey is divine.
Ice tea is really refreshing, perfect thirst-killer when it's hot and too early for beer. Being a closet Frenchman I go for sparkled water, but there is no real shame in drinking ice tea, just a lack of cultural refinement.

This is correct. At most, it is permitted for the soldiering classes to drink stewed, sugary and lukewarm tea wherein a metal spoon will dissolve if left a moment too long so that Empires may be built and maintained correctly.
There is no advice on tea that can be properly offered by a people who insist on throwing large quantities of the stuff into harbours through pique.

I fear that your confidant may have been confused. Earl Grey's blend might conceivably be compared to drinking women's eau de toilette, but the "fag ash" slight is more likely aimed at something like Lapsang Souchong (a smoked Chinese tea of some sophistication).

Who the Dickens told you that? Earl Grey is a more 'refined' flavour of tea, yes, but it hardly tastes like fag ash; it carries the distinct citrus taste of bergamot. Beats a cup of Tetley any day. :P
+1, that is my favorite as well.

These two gentleman are spot-on. Lady Grey is basically a deviation of Earl Grey, with lemon and orange peel added to give the tea a stronger aroma and taste of citrus fruits. Simply divine.

Bah! It's never too early for a beer. It's always beer o'clock somewhere in the world.
Hello,
Gunpowder Tea is very good. Tea is good both hot and chilled. It's really a matter of taste.

That one is filed under A for Awesome and my mother is going to hear it at least once. Yes I am mamma's boy she tells me what to do.
Spring time in the south, time for an ice tea thread. ~;)

Cold Sweet Iced Green Tea with a sizeable portion of Vodka is awesome....

Real men don't use the word icky, nor do they think juice is a manly drink.

Albeit of the loyal kind, not the unruly rabble on the wrong side of the Atlantic,
Deep in the African heartland. A country club, a game of cricket - mostly lost on me - and a fine cup of tea. Such a delight to find civilisation spread around the globe!
Only France and Britain are worthy of ruling the world.

of course with a dog and in the dying light of a glorious evening. That my dear man is a sentiment shared by any real man. Seriously a beautiful thought.

I like it bitter. No sugar, no honey but with a lemon (whenever possible). It does not matter whether it is cold or hot.

The Frenchman's got it. Tea is to be hot, not iced into some kind of attempt at a bad soft drink. Just a teeny splash o' milk, nothing else. Preferably white tea, but most are good.

I'm not a fan of sugar in iced tea. I went to college and law school in the South and I could never order iced tea because "unsweetened" tea had about 6 lbs of sugar and "sweet" tea was basically a glass of sugar with a few drops of tea in it. :inquisitive: I like the Ito En (http://www.itoen.com/ocha/index.cfm) green teas. No sugar!

Or you can drink sweet tea flavored vodka straight up. It's pretty tasty on its own.

Well I might as well throw my 2p in for what it's worth:
- Sugar with hot tea (whether with milk or without), none with iced tea.
- Iced tea with lemon really is the ultimate thirst quencher when it's getting really hot, but hot tea is nice in any climate.

Morocco is the place for you. Sweet, hot, mint tea, with honey pastries.

If you're not going to drink tea neat, in small quantities, delicate enough to savour the taste, you might as well make tea a routine or an ordeal. Either various Chinese teas drunk in small cups and with the right proportion of tea to water, or any old tea bag soaked through, with just a dash of sugar to make it palatable, but most importantly strong enough to make one's hair stand up. Either paradise or utility will do, but don't confuse one with the other.

Even better with a splash of whisky
