    Herbal teas are so good. My favorites are Ruby Mist, Rooibos (any of the flavored Rooibos are good, too), Peppermint Lemon, Raspberry and Chai. I also enjoy green tea, especially the one with toasted rice added.
    I'll try pretty much any herbal tea except those with licorice, anise or orange.

    I really like peppermint tea. I drink it out of a pink mug to better tune myself with my femininity.

    I've said it before, but I'll say it again. If I'm drinking tea it has to be ice cold and sweet!

    doodh patti: boil a mug of milk, as soon as milk starts boiling, put half a tea spoon of black tea in it with sugar (if you like). Wait about 2 minuets

    ilaichi chai: start boiling a mug of water, add some milk into it (as much as you prefer) with 2 pods of cardamom. As soon as it starts boiling, add 1/2 tsp of black tea with sugar. Boil for 2 more minutes,

    If you take away the cardamom from the above ilaichi chai then that is regular indian chai. If you make that 1 tsp of black tea in it then it is tadak chai. If you add Jaggery in the start of boiling process in any of those chais then it becomes "gur chai" (or "gud chai")

    This is how we make it in Pakistan and many areas of India.

    my best friend makes her tea like this, usually with cardamom pods. I never would have tried it except for her, and it's really good! I love tea time at her house. I'm a sucker for any kind of chai though. I also love spiced and red teas.

    Not a huge fan of herbal, though sometimes I do like a lemon herbal with honey. :) My #1 tea has always been Earl Grey, two sugars!
