I wouldn't like sugar in mine but I'm gonna do you a solid here. Get some gin and steep son earl grey teabags in it for for a couple of hours about 4 teabags for every 500 ml. Then your gonna want to add about 75ml of gin, 25ml of sugar syrup and 25ml of lemon juice. Shake with ice, then pour into a large glass with a good amount of fresh ice, fill to the top with tonic and garnish with a slice of lemon. You can thank me later.

I prefer rice milk. Even good soy doesn't go well in tea, and only holds up marginally well in coffee. Also alot of soy milks contain hydrogenated palm oil, and that stuff is actual death.

Mum switched to putting milk in first once we stopped making tea in a teapot, because it keeps the mugs cleaner :shrug:.

e: well, to clarify, her strategy now is "a tiny bit of milk in first, then the hot water, then the rest of the milk".

I have a friend who has switched exclusively to almond milk or, as I prefer to call it, nut juice. It tastes OK but there's loads of added sugar in it.

You're allowed to slag people off outwith parliament (i.e. Corbyn is a terrist lover) or if you don't mention them by name (just "a stalinist").

It's the best of the non-milks. Almond and soy have pretty substantial (for me at least) aftertaste.

I keep the teabag in when I add milk because I like quite strong tea & don't want to spend ages hanging around the kitchen.

But then I don't drink tea all that often. Or coffee. Just give me water. Or Irn Bru. Or one of those horrible energy drinks like Rockstar. When I was having to get up at 4:30 for my previous job (relying on rural public transport is poo poo, same bus for either a 8am or 9am start) I pretty much got addicted to them, since they let me go I've managed to back off from them but I do still like them a bit too much.

How to make a cup of tea:

Dump a teabag into a mug. Pour in the hot water. Wait between 30 seconds and 5 minutes depending on how distracted you get by whatever it was you were doing before. Come back and put some milk in. Get distracted again. Twenty minutes later take a sip and realise it's gone cold. Stick it in the microwave for thirty seconds, then drink.

One of the defining moments of my childhood was swapping the sugar in my brothers mug for salt and then slowly going mad with anticipation as he did exactly this.

Except with "boil kettle. Let kettle go cold. Boil kettle again" too. Longest half hour of my life.

Jeremy Corbyn's snapchat is bad. It's just photographs of him sitting at desks and stuff. Is it too much to ask for a faceswap with Diane Abbott or a photo of John McDonnell with an anime filter? If he can't even get this right, it's time for him to step down imho.

The outspoken MP also dismissed the controversy surrounding Mr Cameron's tax affairs as "slightly ridiculous."

He sniffed at the "small amount of money" Mr Cameron had made out of the deal, saying it was only "enough to buy a Skoda Octavia."

I can't get enough of this guy. "He barely made enough money from tax avoidance to buy a brand new car, how can the average working person begrudge him for that?!?!"

Yeah, but it's also 99p for a can, which is 40p cheaper than you usually get Monster for. Ethical shopping only goes so far when you're on a tight budget.

Plus it only mentions AG Barr on the can so I plead plausible deniability.
