I never got people that load up tea with sugar and milk. It's barely tea at that point.
Tried to order green tea at a drive thru once and they asked what I wanted with it. Confused the heck out of me and I just responded with "uh, tea?"
Apparently they like "barely tea" shrug
I wasn’t a fan at first but barley tea really grew on me.
[At least where I'm at] it's kind of hard to find good tea. Like there are 400 cafés in the city that serve single origin beans with latte art, but I only have one local shop where I can get decent loose leaf. If I end up drinking the stuff from the grocery store, I probably will put sugar in it.
I don't shame people who order what is effectively a coffee flavored milkshake every morning. But I wish they'd cop to it and call it a milkshake.
There's two thousand calories in your mocha triple vanilla pump latte, Susan. Own it.
I just like sweet tasting early grey with a bit of caffine
As a kid I always hated tea because when my dad made it, it would always have an obscene amount of sugar. It blew my mind when I tried someone else's tea with a little honey and milk, that shit's SO good
It is a good way to use cheaper tea like the tea bags that only contain tea dust. A cup from these will be rather bitter but it can taste nice once you add milk and/or sugar.
A teaspoon of sugar and a splash of milk is still very much tea. It’s about 10% of the sugar and calories that are contained in an average soda.
I never got people that get excited about tepid leaf water.
It's one step up from water. It's not supposed to be a sidestep from soda with milk.
Most of the sugary drinks I drink have had most of the sugar converted into alcohol before I drink it which makes it much healthier!
I don't get people who drink tea with a fuckton of sugar. At tyst point it's damn near impossible to to even taste the actual tea anymore.
I tend to drink it like that. Apparently it's not socially appropriate to drink hot sugar water, and I need the sugar.
My secondary issue is that most tea available now is quite crap quality. I don't need sugar in good tea, but good tea is not trivial to make, and requires good tea to work with. Failing that, masking the poor flavour with sugar helps.

Anyone who saw the Men In Black movie would be a little suspicious.
I drink all tea without anything added to it. Sugar just makes me hyper all day.
A smidge of honey or nothing at all is the way to go. If you need to put a lot of sugar in the tea, you probably brewed it wrong (or it's just shitty tea).
Depends on the tea. An East Frisian blend, for instance, is intended to be drank with some rock sugar – not a mountain of it, of course, but the sugar is an integral part of the beverage.
Same, can't relate to that comic at all
Really depends on the Tea.
Stash makes good tasting Tea. If you're into Loose Leaf - they're all usually strong. But Lipton makes weak ass shit. You'd need 3 bags and then it just turns bitter.
The twist: it's salt

A teaspoon or less of sugar, honey, or other sweetener I find both pleasant in my tea or coffee, and that it helps to support and express the floral and fruity flavors of them. I also sometimes like a little cream or milk, which can soften bitterness or help support certain spices (masala chai without cream just isn't the same!)
People who are snobs about it are ridiculous, doctor up your beverage however works to enhance your joy of it. I try to keep my sugar down but you could add 2 or 3 spoonfuls to a big mug of tea and still not come close to how much is in a coke.
(Edit: the comic is cute and funny! People who are preachy about tea are also ridiculous. Sometimes you just need a diet soda or an energy drink for breakfast!)
I upvote and then saw the edit
Sometimes you just need a diet soda or an energy drink for breakfast!
What? Who? Why? When? And in what world?
That is a tad more than a teaspoon depicted in the comic. But yeah, a teaspoon won't really register in the sugar consumption scale.
I drink my coffee either black or with a shit-ton of creamer/milk and sweetener... no in-between.
I also prefer tea to be the latter, minus Earl Grey... it tastes better to me without milk, strangely.
Im the same. My coffee is either an utility drink made to sharpen by focus, or dessert.
But I find milk in tea diagusting for some reason.
¿Porque no los dos?
My cold brew coffee is a dessert, focus sharpener & multivitamin! (chocolate instant breakfast)
I'm being healthy! Lol
The spider is in the door keyhole. Captain flies away.
Beat me to it! Thank you for your service
I love how the employee of the month is a cat
"Batting drinks off the desks and clawing up the furniture is hard work, I tell ya"
I think I'm going to make some tea now

Joke's* on you
(Short for "The joke is on you".)
Thanks !
I'll just stick with water, thanks!
Hydrohomies represent!
I do enjoy some tea with a bit of honey when I want something warm but water is where it's at
Okay, but have you considered adding a bit of lemon?
I have, actually! I do that sometimes, or flavour enhancers like Mio. I love water on its own as well.
I know for a 24oz mug I use about 70 to 90 grams of sugar after adding milk so I can't say much
So for .006 Barrels you use 1080.2651-1388.9123 Grains? Seems high.
0.0787 Stone of sugar lasts me 2-3 seasons
Hey man these are canadian measurements
WAP!
I recently gave up on soda and coffee for tea but I do miss sugar.
