    Up to a few weeks ago I would have definitely said tea, pretty much a brew on the hour every hour. But then I suddenly went off it, after drinking it my whole life it suddenly knocked me sick  :s (and no I am definitely not expecting!!!)
     
    So now the answer is coffee, especially the gorgeous packets of latte you make at home (so I will be getting fat for a different reason) must check out the coconut ones @Stayce mentions :)

    I have started using hazelnut milk in my coffee and it's delicious!

    Herbal tea for me as caffeine worsens my tinnitus.Other than that I like applejuice / sparkling spring water, very refreshing. Brandy and beers too but rarely now as watching pennies !

    Love my green tea. That's all I drink. As I've got to be aware of what I eat and drink it keeps me going.

    There was once a tea and coffee museum in London, mainly devoted to tea, now closed.  I did go there many years ago,  Interesting.  Traditionally, Russians make their tea in a samovar, not a pot, and eat chocolate, not biscuits, with tea.

    Such a shame that museum's closed - I'd have loved to visit it.

    I used to drink 2or 3 cups of tea in the morning but that started to impact my nerves . I replaced with tea with sugar at first then without. In Morocco we drink a lot of sweaty tea with menth, wherever you go people would offer you a glass.

    Good old strong tea for me, It was the one constant when I was young, everything was an excuse for "get the kettle on we'll have a nice brew". Highly technical drink is tea! Big ceramic pot, one spoon of loose tea per person and one for the pot, prewarm the pot with hot water,tip out and add the tea,pour on freshly boiled water,allow to brew with tea cosy on,then first cup gets a third fill,second the same etc,back to cup one and what's in the pot is stronger so enriches the first weaker cup,once all are full top up the pot recover for seconds.
    I was chief tea maker as a young lad,still drink gallons of it now.

    Coffee in the mornings, tea in the afternoon.

    Has to be Yorkshire tea though! I'm a Yorkshire lass through and through!

    Tea two cups of decaf in the morning and afternoon. all tea has to be decaf and or herbal for medical reasons. Hate Coffe and think I have saved alot of money in coffee shops. My hubbie is a black coffee drinker has been since he was a student. Coffee in caferia decaf sometimes hot chocolate. Hot drinks cool you down in the heat and cold drinks heat you up as your body reacts to the coldness.

    What milk do people have in their coffee?  Regular, skinny or soya?  Usually, I have skinny lattes but sometimes soya lattes.

    Got too involved on the caffeine train for me, I stick to the herbal stuff now cause anything stronger gives me the shakes!
