Bored of tea and coffee

Thrilling Thread of the Week

I WFH and am bored of tea and coffee. I like hot chocolate but really don’t need all the extra calories.

Any ideas?

Hot vimto is lovely. Or try Bird and Blend teas. I find fruit teas massively underwhelming generally, but theirs are delicious.

Iced tea and iced coffee.
Ice, shot of coffee or black tea. Can add milk or not.

Cocoa - hot or iced - no sugar, with milk.

Green tea and herbal teas.

Coffee alternatives like Caro, Hickory.

Water - flat or fizzy, hot or cold with lime slice

Hot milk with vanilla and a little sugar

Black teas with lemon, ginger, or slice of apple.

Apricot nectar watered down with ice.

Love a chai but made in a saucepan with spices and milk and sugar. Haven’t found any chai tea bags that come close yet.

Brand called Yogi
Tea name classic

It's basically the spices of chai without the black tea or milk

Actually yogi do an amazing selection Holland and Barrett stock

Can never be bored of a brew!
Especially if it's Yorkshire tea

Beanies flavoured coffees. They sometimes sell them in Lidl. The ginger one is lovely.

Yogi tea - lovely spice tea I like it topped with a bit of apple juice

& Tesco do a Polish raspberry syrup that is amazing with hot water

Wine

Only after midday of course.

peppermint tea, boiled in a pan for few min, not just brewed. Very strong and very nice without the caffeine

I second ginger (fresh or puree) and a drop of honey. Peppermint is ok with just the leaves chucked in a cup then hot water (or a teapot) . I find I don't need to boil it. It can make you very burpy though-at least, it does for me.

The one herbal tea brand I do like, although I think it's overpriced, is Tea Pigs.

Great thread.
I'm addicted to instant coffee unfortunately. Trying to branch out and currently having fruit juice topped with hot water. A bit nicer than hot squash.

Tesco low calorie hot chocolate.

Floofydawg · 12/03/2024 18:03

Just hot water and lemon is nice. Or even hot water and lime.
