    Coffee when it comes to hot beverages.

    I drink gallons of iced tea.

    Yeah, I love sun-tea. Here in Georgia it cooks up plenty fast. I do not make "sweet tea" however. I put in fake sugar as per needed on a glass-by-glass basis. True Southerners hate me for this!

    Tea. Hot or cold. With fake sugar (and I'm not fat).

    Or real sugar or no sugar, still better than no tea.

    Coffee! Usually & primarily for the caffeine, but also for the flavor (&/or sometimes also for the flavor). I like tea too, but don't drink it that much or too often.

    One time I mixed coffee & tea together in a cup to see how it would taste, how they mesh together. The cup was half tea, half coffee. It was ... interesting!

    Chai is great. The tea counterpart &/or analogue to capuccino (imo anyway). You could call chai caputeano;) Dunkin Donuts' vanilla chai is frogging awesome. I don't know if they still make it & sell it anymore(?). I describe DD's vanilla chai's flavor as Christmas. It's like drinking Christmas (imo).

    Dark roast coffee (French or Italian, usually) in the morning with plenty of milk, I can't get going in the morning otherwise. I'll usually have iced tea with lemon and no sugar if I'm dining out. I have started to drink non-caffeinated teas later in the day during the colder months.

    Real sugar is just as much to blame. You'd be surprised how prevalent it is in food and beverages. :shrug:

    Tea or coffee? As if there's a wrong answer? Coffee all day, iced tea on a day too hot for coffee.

    How about iced coffee, like a frapacinno for example? I drank a ton of them in Bosnia, served up by the lovely Marisa if I remember correctly.

    I enjoy iced coffee now and then, but mostly I stick with hot, even in the summer. Anybody else like to fortify their coffee with a shot of espresso? It's like an Americano, but with coffee instead of water.

    Coffee.
    Pretty fond of this Ethiopian blend, Yirmagirchee. But my choice is a Brazillian, single estate called Detarra.

    I've gone totally off of refined sugars and 99% off of dairy, so mixed with almond milk and unpasteurized honey.

    Tea, we brew our own herbals from a mixture of purchased and wildcrafted stuff.

    Never cared for tea and I've never tried coffee. Just doesn't smell right.
