If we are on to alternative drinks then Lemon tea with sugar is a great drink. So is apple tea.

I used to drink a lot of very strong coffee when I was studying until one evening after we treated outseoves to a 2.2 litre flask. I filled the coffee maker with exceptionally strong stuff so the flask was full and took it into my study and drank the lot. My OH came upstairs and told me I really ought to think about bed as it was midnight and I had a 9am lecture the next morning. I felt wide awake but thought I ought to get some sleep so took a Nytol tablet.

Then lay in bed while my head did somersaults with the caffeine fighting the sleeping tablet until around 3am (maybe later) when the Nytol won. Why I hadn't thought about the caffeine, I do not know, but I learned my lesson when I drove the 45 minute trip into uni then tried to stay awake during the 1 1/2 hour lecture while still half asleep. Last time I drank coffee at night.

These days I drink coffee only rarely(I have a Bodum that makes just one cup) and don't drink tea at all. I just drink either hot or cold water or the occasional hot chocolate.

Happygolucky - what the Lemon tea ?
It sounds pretentious but the lemon tea must be drank from a glass - ideally held in a metal cup. You can play with the lemon or even a sugar cube as you sip it and watch the world go by ( well in the old days of city cafes you could before soddin Starbucks took over the world).

Apple tea in Istanbul whilst being ripped off when buying a rug is pretty good too.

I replaced my decent coffee (as in proper, coffee grounds) with instant coffee......

......only cos OH really doesn't like proper coffee and loves instant

I AM MAD

Sometimes I do get a real yearning for proper stuff and I make it
