Having an Irish upbringing I consume copious amounts of tea each day. So relaxing to sit down to a warm, steaming mug of the stuff

What's your daily beverage of choice?

It's hot tea for me too, Frank--all year round.
Additional things are cocoa with whipped cream and a dash of almond essence in the winter... and cranberry juice frequently.

Another 'Tea Jenny' here Frank. Very Happy We drink decaffeinated tea and wouldn't be without it. Now and then we have a hot chocolate (with marshmallows and whipped cream - yummy.) or a nice frothy, milky coffee but nothing replaces tea for us.

I have to start the day with several cups of coffee, and then my beverage of choice is sweet ice tea in the biggest glass I can find.

lemon and green tea, then decaf coffee, then green tea...as cold as it's getting, might have some hot chocolate with little marshmallows and a bit of peppermint! Mr. Green

Early morning COFFEE while reading emails and news online is a ritual and my favorite part of the day. Love a good strong cuppa java! After that, water, juice maybe... (the occasional Pepsi, shh!)

Up until about 4 years ago I drank coffee, pots of it every day. But now I drink hot tea (Magnolia Puerh), no cream or sugar....just like I drank my coffee.
After working in the yard a can or two of Chrysanthemum tea is the best way to cool down,
During the day when not gardening it's hot tea, Chrysanthemum tea and water.

I think I lost interest in coffee because I had quit smoking the year before, those two just seem to go together.

I like a nice big cup of coffee early in the morning. Don't even TALK to me until it's gone! Laughing
I only have the one and then if I'm thirsty again, it's water or iced tea, except at dinner when I insist on Milk Smile

Ooh
I start the day with a cup (huge mug) of coffee.
Then by eleven-o-clock I have a cup of tea.
Plenty of water inbetween and about 2 glasses of diluted fruit juice (else it is too sweet).
And my ultimate (decadent) beverage is a whiskey so after supper (the whiskey is alternated with vodka in summer Wink ).
I call it the ultimate beverage since this is usually the time my hubby and I sit and relax.

I start each day with two cups of coffee, the rest of the day I drink water except when its cold I will drink cranberry pomegranate green tea. In the evening I enjoy a glass (or two) of red wine.
