Mmm, need to drink up the herbal teas, why are the packets so big? I never get through them.

I agree ! Why don’t they sell a pack of 2 or 3 so if anyone wants one, they can have them and ditch the rest

Mumtobabyhavoc · 02/10/2025 23:25

Depends how large the packages are, I think. And you need a hot chocolate mix. O

Yorkshire tea, normal and decaf
Instant coffee, normal and decaf (although I think the decaf might have solidified!) I do have a milk steamer/frother though, so can make a nice latte
Hot chocolate
Some foul fruit tea that my friend drinks!

Ponderingwindow · 03/10/2025 02:39

just about any coffee beverage you could request
about 30 varieties of tea
hot chocolate
a coffee syrup bar
i also have a selection of flavored seltzers
i basically keep a mini shop in my home as I am a bit obsessed with beverages.

i only stock actual dairy because of allergies to popular alternatives so I do not have those available for people to add to drinks.

We also have coffee beans, ground coffee (normal and decaf), instant decaf, hotel chocolat hot chocolate, a selection pack of flavoured hotel chocolat sachets, horlicks, hot chocolate powder and cocoa powder. Oh and cacao.

i could also make a cup of miso or bone broth if required. Or a hot toddy.

InsaneRise · 27/04/2026 09:09

Infinite, probably. All of my herbs are in separate jars so I can make up my own blends.

Come feeling a bit down and I can make something uplifting.
Come suffering hay fever or sinusitis and I can make something that is anti histamine and anti inflammatory.
Come with a stomach ache or menstrual pains and I can put together something soothing.

Plus I've got all the usual culprits as my kids would rather get their tea out of a teabag

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 27/04/2026 09:20

To add to so many above,
Hot Ribena!

Jellycatspyjamas · 27/04/2026 09:43

I could offer instant coffee, decent americano, latte, Yorkshire tea, ginger and lemon tea, hot chocolate, hot ribena, hot milk. No decaf tea or coffee options because we never drink it.
