With sugar, tea is little more than hot coloured water with some milk and some sugar. Actually scratch that, with sugar it's complete piss.

Try condensed milk instead of sugar ��

Discovered this in Vietnam. Coffee drip filtered over sweet condensed milk, serve on ice or hot. Delicious.

I don't take sugar in drinks (maybe coffee the very odd time if I'm feeling mad) but yeah, that brown sugar you get in cafés and places is just dyed white sugar. It's actually more processed like.

It's actually sugar with some molassses added back in.

The real stuff is the dark brown Muscavado from Mauritius.

I just checked our Dunnes Store bag of brown and it says "Unrefined raw cane sugar" on the side.

I sincerely hope you drink Lidl brand tea because with an attitude and a practice like that (sugar in tea), you do not deserve Barry's or Lyons

Fcuking disgusting. It's not right. Those people should be taken out and shot with balls of their own sh*te.

Edit: Hardly most people. A good proportion of people have taste and wouldn't be lumping sugar into their tea.

Why would you ruin good brown sugar by mixing it with that disgusting tea ****e?

No, real brown sugar is available but those little packets just contain white sugar and died white sugar.

If you want actual brown sugar you'd have to check the pack and make sure it's actually brown sugar.

I never knew this. I've learnt something.

Putting Lyon's in the same sentance as Barry's is sacrilege.

Lyons is basically the dust they scrape off the unilever floor in Manchester after they're finished making crap English teas like PG Tips.

Aldi's ownbrand, made by Robert Roberts and Lidl's own brand made by Thompsons are both superior to Lyons but still vastly inferior to Barry's.

In order of Merit (a representative, not an exhaustive list).

Barry's
Punjana (Thompsons)
Bewley's
Lidl ownbrand (Thompsons)
Aldi ownbrand (Robert Roberts)
The ****e tea you had from the presso flask at that conference last week
Tesco Value








Lyons.

The last time de mammy was visiting we put out brown sugar with the "tay".
De brudder hummed and hawed until we eventually produced some white caster sugar.
We don't have any other white sugar.
De mammy gently informed me afterwards that it's white sugar for tay and brown sugar for coffee. Not in an anal way of course, de mammy would never do that.
Although it's not the done thing to ever doubt the mammy, especially in matters as serious as tay, I have to ask the good people of boards, which sugar do you put in tea?

Are you by any chance related to " auld Mr Brennan "

I prefer a bit of honey in my tea

"How can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? It wouldbe equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. Tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. If you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water."

Are you Bobby Boucher from the 1998 comedy movie 'The Waterboy'?

I bet you're the type of person to rate movies out of 10 and even have merit scales for .5 and .75 and believe there is a considerable difference between the two.
