Would you eat...

Coming from a milkshake tea man, I'm not sure that holds any water.

"Milkshake tea"?? What sorcery is this?

 

[Farm Boy]

I've seen people add milk and sugar to tea, both actions are revolting. You wind up with a hot, crappy impersonation of a tea flavored milkshake. I'd go buy a Monster Muscle Milk if I wanted that sort of flavor with caffeine. Which nobody should probably do ever.

Personally, I think the most serious crime on humanity I ever witnessed and tasted was putting sugar into a milky coffee.
The one or the other, fine. I love milky coffee. But both? In one cup? Unreal

 

[Sommerswerd]

Cold, black, iced is the way to drink coffee... no milk or sugar or anything else. It really brings out the flavour of the coffee.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Exactly.
So I put milk into it

I generally go fairly light on the sauces and such, so I voted Never. Considered a test bite, but I'm pretty sure that once I saw the test bite, I'd decide to skip it.

I have been known to combine beverages at times, but not everything available. I'll add a splash of peach tea to an orange soda, or if the smoothie choices are orange-pineapple and strawberry-banana, get half and half since all four of those go well together. Generally though, it's something that will probably go well, not adding things for the sake of adding them.

Not a fan of milk in tea. Although I may be doing it wrong. So far I tried tea + a bit of milk, and it was an unpleasant experience. I've seen some people do mostly milk, and brew tea in the milk (and then cool it?). Perhaps that would be better. But currently I'm fine with tea as-is, without any additions.

Congratulations. You've just described pretty much the only way you could make coffee taste worse.

non-espresso coffee should always be mixed with cream. Drip coffee is just far too thin to enjoy on its own.

Drinking hot green tea while eating vanilla ice cream is one of life's secret pleasures.

 

[Farm Boy]

Have you tried Japanese green tea ice cream yet?

 

[Sommerswerd]

Green tea gelatto is pretty good... I guess its kind of the same thing

 

[Farm Boy]

The only way it's legitimately bad is that first spoonful when you're expecting mint. Almost as bad as getting beer instead of 7up.

 

[Sommerswerd]

Or fried plantains when your were expecting home fried potatoes

 

[BvBPL]

Or like rain on your wedding day.

Yes, it's nice but very, very different. And not as nice.

Fixed

Ah, the cold/sweet hot/earthy dichotomy? Tension and whatnot? Which one is the suspension and which one is the resolution? Changeable?

Yeah. The textures and the warm-cold is fantastic. Particularly, though, is something about the particular tastes themselves. The contrast is complementary rather than conflicting. It's much gentler than you might anticipate, but it's still polarizing enough to mildly excite. Each direction of the palate feels like it concludes the other, perhaps biased toward ending on the tea.

 

[Farm Boy]

I'll have to remember to make a pot when next we stock ice cream.

Well I never actually realized you could get more than one sauce on a subway sandwich, but nothing beats the sweet onion teryaki. NOTHING!!!

As for tea / coffee, in some parts of India they make it entirely with boiled milk, no water.
