How do you drink your green tea?

I love black tea with skim milk and a little honey or sugar, but want to start drinking green tea especially when it's late. Can I drink it with milk/honey as well? I think with some of the decaf/herbal teas the milk curdles. I know I should probably just drink it plain but maybe I'll move towards that one day. How do you drink yours?

    Plain, no milk or sugar. There are some sweeter herbal teas out there if you need something a little sweet. One of my favourites is green tea with mint, perfect 3pm pick me up.

    iced with splenda...I LOVE green tea...

    And occasionally (like during shark week) I add 2 TBS of organic 5.49 a bottle apple cider vinegar to help with bloat....and suck it down through a straw with my nose plugged.

    I buy loose tea (white, green, oolong) and drink it hot and without anything added.

    I buy the kind with jasmine and drink it iced with a little bit of stevia. For some reason I just don't enjoy it hot.


    And occasionally (like during shark week)

    LOL! I haven't heard that before. Made me laugh. :D

    the shark week comment is funny and random!

    I just made some with 1oz skim milk and 1/2 tblspn of honey and it's awesome! what brands do you guys like? this was a sample I got from Birchbox.

    may try just honey + lemon next time.

    Find a good loose leaf tea and you wont want to add anything to it. It has such a wonderful light delicate flavor and pairs swimmingly with lemon and honey.

    Teavana has some pretty stellar flavored green teas if you want something with flavor and has some sweetness added to it.

    Happy Tea Drinking! :drinker:

    Green tea with spearmint! It's just lovely, and delicious piping hot or lukewarm - however you like it. The tea I drink is called Moroccan Mint. I get the leaves from a shop in NZ called T-leaf, don't know if it's got stores outside NZ though.

    Phwoar. It's REALLY good.

    I must try this...


    I drink green tea straight and hot. Though now it's getting warmer out I have been drinking less of it... :(

    I love green tea with mint in it! I do not put any sort of sweetener or milk in green tea.

    I add a bag of my fave herbal tea... The berry flavors and the lemon ones are awesome, with a bit of Splenda.

    That sounds awesome!!

    I don't like plain green tea, I find it's quite bitter. I always get the fruit flavored variety. Right now I'm on a box of Lipton Green Tea Superfruit: Wild Cranberry with Pomegranate. Its so yummy and no extra calories :love:

    I drink my green tea either plain, or with a bit of honey/lemon.

    Chai tea (the black chai, not green) with a bit of milk, pinch of sugar, and some cinnamon.

    And plain black tea, I either drink with skim milk, and a bit of sugar, or with a bit of honey.
    Not a fan of fruit teas, and I'm just starting to move toward herbal tea.
