Chocolate tea

You should try this tea; it's so good. I live in the US and miss it lol. Tea is awesome 🙂

Sorry, I have to be honest and say that this sounds revolting, tea is tea and chocolate is chocolate and ne'er the twain shall meet

...but then, I'm not in the UK. Dont mind me, I'm having a grumpy day :[

Stand aside people, A citizen of the British Empire has arrived. First of all, Phocas is quite right, chocolate and tea isn't a great combination. How do I know this, because us Brits have been drinking the stuff for generations. It's also the reason for our wonky teeth, but that's another story.

I would highly recommend a cup of PG Tips. Just put a PG Tips bag in a cup and leave it to stand for 3 minutes. Then remove the bag, but don't squeeze it back into your cup. Then sit back and enjoy the best cup of tea you have ever tasted.

Heresy! 😉 You never let the teabag stew! What atrocity is this?! ;D Just kidding good sir. Though yes I prefer to massage the bag for a little while but I never let the teabag stew in the cup. Don't make me challenge you to a tea duel!

The chocolate tea thing sounds novel, but I don't really think that's my cup of tea. *cough* >.>

Oy oy there was a program on teli not so long a go about how long you should leave a tea bag to brew for the perfect cuppa, i.e. full of flavour, colour and antioxidants and that is between 3-4 mins although most people don't leave it in long enough always in a rush us British... 😉

Oh really. 😮 I don't own a TV so I missed that. ;x It sounds way too long. If we are to discuss the technicalities of tea making, I would surmise that massaging the bag for some 20secs probably achieves the same effect as letting it stand for 3-4 mins. ;p But I also like my tea quite hot, I drink it like lucozade or something. If it's good tea I'll down it within a minute or so, hehe. Interesting to know though thx. 🙂

Not at all. Just someone who knows what they like with their tea. 🙂 I haven't tried hobnobs for a looong time. I am pathetic at trying new things (and this isn't just about biscuits!) But I like the ones I mentioned, why change - that's how I see it. ;D

(okay shortbread is nice too sometimes..)

I would tell you Phocas, but it’s a rather sensitive subject. Although it’s not only the teeth that we have problems with here. Have you noticed how the Queen waves in a strange way. Anyway, I’ve said too much as it is.

That’s how civil wars get started.
