Sugar in tea...

When I was a child we always ate our Sunday evening meal at the local Chinese restaurant. Chinese restaurants in those days always served jasmine tea in steaming pots, and gave each guess a very small thick-walled tea cup to use. I could never figure out why these cups were so tiny!

I loved the tea, but I think it was because of the sugar that I was allowed to add to it. I would put in three large spoonfuls of sugar into each cup. I think I must have been drinking tea-flavored syrup! .And because the cup's wall were so thick, the tea never cooled down so I had to pour the tea into the saucer, let it cool, and drink it from there!

Somewhere along the way I managed to wean myself off the use of sugar in my tea. The only time I drink sweet teas now are in India or the Middle East and they get served to me without my asking. I enjoy them in situ but not at home.

What about you? Sugar? Milk? Lemon? Ouzo?
