    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Is best served hot, with one sugar, preferably in the afternoon, with a slice of cake. Like all hot drinks, it tastes best while it's cold and/or raining outside.

    Green gunpowder tea is best. No milk or sugar - good tea doesn't need it (well if you ask me no tea needs it, but each to their own). I'm quite partial to iced green tea with lemon/lime and brown sugar as well.

    If you have a cold then green gunpowder tea with lemon, honey and a touch of ginger (and a small drop of brandy perhaps) is good.

    I used to drink tea all the time... slowed down recently but i dont know why. Maybe its because i havent been training in Martial arts lately. My Sifu used to say "Tea is the Glue that holds your Kung Fu together"

    But seriously... you brits will never be able to understand the appeal of a nice, freezing cold glass of crisp, sweet iced tea on a hot day. You're too busy looking down your noses at us yanks from all the way over there. Hop off that high horse so i can hand you a nice cold can of Arizona Sweet Tea.

    The only time i like hot tea is on a freezing cold day, with a giant cup of Earl Grey, double strength, honey and lemon, no milk. I can hang with y'all brits on that one, but i still aint eatin no damn crumpets. hell no. Gimme a canoli.

    I also like some mountain-grown oolong, Hot, with nothing. The great thing about Oolong is that it's too dark to be green tea, so its not as weak, but its too light to be black tea, which can be bitter, so it's perfect to drink with nothing added.


    Hey British people! did you know americans mix together Lemonade and Iced Tea?

    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    Have you ever heard of a Radler? Beer and lemonade? It's the southern German sports drink. Very popular in the alpine regions of Austria as well.

    Boiling hot water, with sugar and just a spot of milk added is how I drink my tea. Quite deliberately, I took my cue from my cultural overlords, the English.
    I'd be most obliged if somebody knows of an interesting link or map showing the extent of English tea influence.

    I like Gen Mai Cha and Sencha without additives, Earl Grey with lemon, black teas with a drop of brandy on a cold night. A variety of iced teas, usually with honey and lemon, in the heat of the summer sun. On occasion, black teas with cream and honey. A Ukrainian friend has introduced a variety of sweet cookies that go well with unsweetened hot teas preferred by Russians.

    As a teen, nothing beat the caffeine rush of Morning Thunder at summer camp tea parties, though it tasted pretty much like what I'd imagine buffalo piss to taste like.

    Nettle tea? Not heard of that. Google time ....
