I drink hot black tea with a splash of milk, too. It is pretty much a rite of passage being a British person. I don't drink it often though.

Being British I also drank a lot of tea. In fact I started drinking tea at 10 years old. I think my parents allowed this because it meant I could make them tea.

Later in life I learned that I didn't really like tea. I learned this by trying to cut down on sugar. I can't drink tea without sugar which means I like sugar, not tea.

Coffee I enjoy without sugar.

I'm drinking my first cup of coffee this month.(While my throat is constricted coffee seems to clag me up so much I start blowing bubbles)
I'm nearly out of black tea.... Must put tea on the Chopin Liszt
I can't remember what age I started drinking tea.... But it may have been around the time I tried to wake mum up with a glass of neat gin, so it was probably the same reason ^^^
I never graduated past baby tea... 1/3 milk and 2 white sugars then.... 1 heaped brown now.
Coffee I have the same way.

Yea, I couldn't do without my morning mug of tea with milk and one sugar. Then it's filter coffee for the rest of the day..

I have a cup of tea at 7am then one at about 11.30am and then one about 7pm and that's it for the day

I might have one or two cups more on the weekend or just to be sociable

No sugar for me and just a splash of milk

I have my caffeine usually in zero-sugar/zero-calorie sodas such as Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke.
