Herbal tea

[duckyfuzz]

I've tried, I really have, but I really can't get on with herbal teas at all, is there some trick to it (like shut your eyes, down in one then have something nice to take the taste away)?!

I am staunch believer in tea should taste like tea and a teabag should contain tea leaves grin]

Herbal tea is meant to be had with a bit of lemon, it makes a world of difference.

It's just what you are used to. I love them and have a whole selection. My dd, 7, loves them too - she is a bit of a connoisseur and loves green tea too.

Pah, they always smell wonderful, and taste weedy - right up until the moment they're far too strong and have to be spat ou.

Fruit tea wine on the other hand, is all-round wonderful. And about 20p a bottle.

'out', not 'ou'.

Another vote for Yogi. Brewhaha teas are good too.

We're just going to move this to Food.

Roibos (however it is spelled) can be v nice.

I like a good hibiscus one.

But many of the fruity ones out there smell lovely and taste of nothing.

Fruit teas are horrible. Like hot Ribena. Bleurgh!

Rooibos tea goes lovely with Gingernut biscuits

See sal I love hot Ribena! I will try again, promise, making do with wine tea at the moment...
