My friend started a discussion about having a cup of herbal tea.

I'm drinking iced tea... we made some yesterday.

It doesn't take much to make me want a cup of hot tea no matter if it's hot or cold out. I don't drink coffee any more, but I have read discussions that make me wish I could! I have caved in to having snacks after reading something on here, too. And thanks for not discussing high fat food!

I am not a tea drinker; I might drink tea 1-2 times a year and that is on the high side. Of course I am not including the vinegar honey tea I drink once in a while. I much prefer coffee and I am drinking a hot cup now because it is so cold this morning..Brrrr

I believe I might have replied to your friends discussion on tea. I love tea and living in Puerto Rico I still drink at least one cup a day. Whether its regular, green or herbal. I love it and just the thought of tea makes me want to make a cup right now. However, its to late now because if I have a cup I will be up and down all night going to the bathroom. I usually have to have my cup of tea at night before 9pm and right now its almost midnight. I will have a cup first thing when I awake in the morning.

I want some tea but I don't have my favorite I am out of it. I like peppermint tea. And I also like green tea.

I like tea, but there's none made right now. My favorite is white pomegranate from Trader Joe's, but I'm supposed to drink green tea, and I prefer Bigelow Green with Lemon. I also like green with jasmine. I haven't been making herbal tea lately because in summer we don't drink as much tea at night. I usually make a pot of white or green tea in the morning all year. In winter I will make a poet of chamomile with raspberry or some other fruity flavor (one bag each) for evening. We use the microwave to reheat what we don't drink when first brewed. It works for us. In summer, we just don't finish the herbal tea before it spoils, so I don't make it except by special request.

This kind of thing doesn't really affect my desire for a drink but, it can, and often does, affect me with wanting some kind of FOOD. I have seen recipes that looked good to me and made me go out and find all the stuff needed to make it. It doesn't matter to me whether it's high fat or not, usually. I usually pay for the high fat thingy a bit later.

It made me want to go buy a kettle. I'd like to drink more tea, the kind that is supposed to be good for you for different health reasons. I doubt they'll taste as good as regular tea, but perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe every super healthy tea does not taste as bad as I think.

Hi GG, It sure is the time of year for some nice hot tea. Getting pretty chilly here in Ohio and my windows aren't as open as they use to be. I too mostly drink tea in the cooler months. I just had some the other day and it was sooo good, haven't had it in a while. I like the Green tea and some of the herbal one's, but I can only have the de-caff, otherwise I'm up all night. I know some discussions talk about food and if it's around dinnertime, they make me hungry and off I go to eat, lol!

*Goes to start a discussion about chesecake* I must not have seen the discussion of which you speak or I'd be enjoying a hot cup of tea as well. I do have tea, and you do make me want to get some. Especially now that my bones are a bit chilled, though it's 62 degrees winds N at 14 MPH here. It is getting to be that time of year again and soon I'll be making my own coffee and enjoying my own tea as well. My favorite is green tea with jasmine or raspberry tea.

Yup, I read it and thought about going to the cabinet and seeing what kind of tea I had. But I somehow got distracted. I think there's some green tea in there and some kind of another mixture. Isn't it funny how strong is the power of suggestion? So....I still may get in there and fix a cup of hot tea. I'm not much on iced tea now that it's cooler. And, anyway, I don't think I have any ice cubes made.

I am really grateful that you did not start a discussion on high fat food! I was brought up in the U.K. and learned from an early age to drink tea. I have cut down on the number of drinks of tea or coffee that I used to consume each day but have upped my consumption of herbal teas. I have a pot of peppermint growing outde of my door at home and it is so easy to cut off a few stalks and brew tea. I also have lemon grass and always have stem ginger around to make tea. I actually like garlic tea sweetened and this is so good for high blood pressure and many other illments. Hmm, maybe I will raid my sister's store cupboard and see if she has any tea

no doubt, tea always been my daily beverages menu that I can't left. I used to drink hot tea+milk or hot tea+milk+honey. I love both black or green tea, but rarely enjoy herbal tea

I saw this and had to go start a pot of tea. I like black, strong tea best and your cherry essence sounds delicious! I'm not crazy about herbal teas but I do have some Echinacea tea and I found some Electrici-tea for energy. I like to eat Walker's Shortbread cookies with my tea. And discussions on food always make me go looking for something to eat. So I'm glad you didn't start one on high fat food. And I hadn't even been thinking of tea until I saw your discussion. I would like to drink green tea but it seems to not have much flavor (to me). I have also tried gunpowder green tea but didn't like that either. I bought some Chocolate tea once. I think that was from Trader Joe's. It had a slight chocolatey flavor to it. My favorite is Russian black tea because it's so strong. Maybe you can tell me, GG, if tea goes stale? I have a lot of different teas but I have too many to drink and I wonder if they stay fresh or not. Quite a few are in canisters that they came in. I found some really good teas in nice containers in Marshall's. But I don't think I can drink it all. This is an interesting discussion. Tea is such a great drink.

I think it is always good to have herbal tea. I do have tea in the evening. Before I used to have tea in the morning. I have normal tea at my office.

i don't like drinking tea during the summer. my drink then is lemonade but in answer to your question, yesterday i had a raspberry tea and tonight i may have a dark chocolate chai tea. i am anxious to try that type so i will let you know how it tastes!

Occasionally this might work, but actually even in cold weather I do not much care for hot tea. I like it iced and often spiced with milk and ice. We just got back from 4 months up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and on the trip back as we got nearer to our desert the weather was quite hot. So I was delighted when upon checking in at a motel about 4 pm they had chai tea and hot water to make it and ice cubes and "cream" with which I made a huge glass of iced tea which I nursed through a two hour movie in our room before going out for dinner.

I like ice tea especially raspberry tea and peach tea. I could never get into hot tea. It me a while like hot coffee but I preferr coffee over the tea. There are so many kinds out there. I know many people enjoy hot tea especally before bed time or early evening too. They sell a lot around Thanksgiving and Christmas time as gifts and welcome or thank you at party etc... Thanks Unique16

I love teas, any teas, so I let you know that I drink hot tea almost everyday year round. Doesn't matter if the weather is hot or cold, I still drink tea. Often I had ginger tea. Yes, sometimes a discussion prompts us to do something, like when a friend posted a discussion how she do a sit up every morning for 100x, I followed it. I got flatter stomach and healthier mood. I just didn't do it for 100x, I varied it with other movements till I got that 100x number...

I drink green tea all the year round and drink a bit black tea at times, mind you ,where I live is an important producer of tea.I think the ginger lemon tea is good for your health, especially if you get stomach-cold.
