Are you drinking tea or coffee in this weather?

[Runningupthathill01]

I know people say a cup of tea cools you down but I just had one and it didn’t! I don’t like soft drinks either so I’m only drinking water all day long. What are you drinking and are you still drinking tea and coffee as normal?

I had tea as usual this morning but steered clear this afternoon. I don't tend to have much in the afternoon usually though to be fair.

Yup

Lots of water but also lots of peppermint tea.

Iced coffee - I make an espresso in my nespresso machine & dump it into loads of ice cubes. Add 1 tsp of sugar (I don't normally take sugar but iced coffee seems to need it). Add cold milk of your choice.

Cold brew coffee overnight in the fridge. 50g coffee to 500ml cold water. Strain in filter/cafetiere and either drink straight, over ice or blend with milk ice cubes. Perfect in this weather.

I had my last coffee (decaf) around 2pm. I usually have one between 5-6 but I was just a bit too hot and now I’ve got a headache so don’t want one.

Well I don't like tea, but drinking just as much coffee as usual. Why wouldn't I? If you've ever been to a properly hot country, you'll know that tea and coffee are drunk regularly.

1/2 pot of tea for breakfast (DH had the other 1/2) at 7am

One cup around 10-ish

Mostly water, a glass of juice and one Diet Coke

I do like tea but definitely drink lesswhen it's hot.

Iced coffee. Espresso on the hob first thing in the morning then leave it in the fridge all day to pour into iced water.

No one wants me to parent without caffeine.

I'm still drinking tea and coffee. On holiday in a hot climate I'm the mad English woman who orders a cup of tea in a cafe instead of a cold drink. Same applies today.

Yep currently I have a Pepsi (cold) a juice (hydrating) and a coffee all on the go

All the tea and coffee as normal. Iced coffee is weird.

Tea for me, hot enough to only be able to sip it. Don't like the taste if I've let it cool down.
But now because of you lot I'm craving iced coffee, we drank Camp coffee when I was growing up.

I'm drinking mint tea by the bucket load! 😂 20 weeks pregnant and can't start any juices this pregnancy and with having to limit caffeine (which rules out my usual go to cold drink of coke) it's mint tea or nothing for me!

Iced coffee - home made, full cafetière made in morning, put in jug in fridge.
Poured into a glass with milk & ice when wanted. Sometimes add sugar but mostly not.
My office is at home and has its own fridge

Yes, lots of tea as usual, in fact more than usual. To keep hydrated I've made a large pot of licorice & peppermint which I've been drinking all afternoon. It can be drunk hot, tepid or cold. I believe the science is that hot drinks make you sweat, which is the body's mechanism for cooling you down. Since being aware of that, I've never minded sweating in the heat, as I see it as a good thing. Obviously I wash & use deodorant etc, stale sweat & the smell of BO are never a good thing!

Iced tea: Make black tea and sweeten slightly. Fill tumbler with ice and slice off lemon. Pour tea into glass.
Iced coffee v1: As above but replace tea with espresso.
Iced coffee v2: As above but omit lemon and top up with cold milk (use less ice). If feeling particularly decadent add ice cream and / or a swirl of cream.
All delicious and very refreshing.

Never tea, but the sky has to be falling down for me to drink tea. I have no aversion to coffee in hot weather, but tend to drink cold drinks more.

Drank water all day but now I'm drinking a bottle of lucozade.

Still drinking tea - letting it cool a bit first- but also having water in between.

Coffee first thing in the morning, same as normal.

Love my coffee, can't cope without it. I have hot coffee in the morning and iced in the afternoons.

If you think about it, they still drink hot coffee in Greece, Turkey and Italy.

I had a JustEats order to my coffee shop this afternoon for three large hot chocolates and three slices of chocolate fudge cake so someone wasn’t that bothered by the heat!

I'm drinking water, nothing else

Got two bottles of water and a cup of water with ice for bed now.
