Tea without milk

[lost in espace]

Gone off milk recently but love a cuppa tea. Any suggestions as to the best tea bags, green, darjeeling, to drink black?

[OllieWinchester]

Rooibus, also known as redbush is great black. Can get it in most supermarkets I think, in a white box with red on it from memory. It is really nice, I take mine with only the tiniest little bit of milk, but most drink it black apparently.

Green, or White.

Or, just put lemon juice into 'normal' tea instead.

Just brew any tea as strong as you would normally have it, then pour 3/4 of it away, top up with boiling water and add a slice of lemon.

Black tea from those Asian type shops A brand called 'Ahmad' make rather nice black tea. Add a few drops or Orange oil, several cardamoms to the pot and brew as normal (ideally use a tea 'egg'). A really good brew if you have the time

Failing that, some of the fruit tea 'infsion' things are OK for a quick brew. Think Ribena without the sweetness

Earl Grey.

I do like my green tea but I know many people find it bitter. Try twinnings Green tea infused with mango... Smells amazing...taste doesnt quite live upto how good the smell is but nontheless still a nice green tea..

Oh and Green tea also good for the skin as well as your metabolism apparently.

Green, White or Peppermint.

Cant stand tea without milk normally but those 3 are OK. Oh and the Green tea we get in the UK is NOTHING like the green tea in HK and the like.

I did this as part of giving up milk for a couple of years due to allergy problems. Just start drinking your normal teas, maybe brew a little weaker. The first few are pretty hard to get used to, you won't drink much of them. After the first dozen or so, you'll be used to it. At some point in the future someone will ignore your request for black tea and you'll wonder how anybody pollutes the stuff with milk (yes I know it's controversial, but I wouldn't dream of going back now, milk in tea = filthy).

Exactly the same.

Another tip - filter the water you use, makes an amazing difference to the taste!

Twinnings. It has no flavour what so ever.

[frankhovis]

PG for me No milk, no sugar.

Can't be doing with all theses fancy flavoured teas.

Poncey lapdog shoesnog type teas aside, Dilmah is your friend.

Light, delicate, and tasty (even with cow juice!)

[cramorra]

Oolong tea (golden dragen) and sim
is between green tea and black tea (half fermented) and may go down well
