I have used the phrase "I'm sorry I don't drink coffee" as long as I remember. I used to say "I don't drink tea either" until I was around 16—17 years old and became frustrated that in too many family meetings / celebrations there weren't other options than those two. As a teenager I felt a slight pressure to have and like either tea or coffee (water seemed extremely dull when adults were drinking coffee hey) Having heard plenty of stories about coffee-caffein addicts I didn't feel like even trying coffee so I wondered if I could make myself accustomed to tea instead. It began when I went to visit my neighbor every Monday to watch Prison Break... She had always a cup of green tea with lemon -- and one night I bravely decided to take some too! My first reaction. EW! Really yucky! "How can people drink this?" My friend put a huge tea spoon of honey to hers and I figured I should try that as well. Noooope. Didn't work but I drank the whole thing up anyways — partly because didn't really dare to throw it away. I was sharing my tea experiences with my friends afterwards and heard someone say that they add some milk to their tea. That was new. This time, even though my neighbor tried to convince me that green tea and milk don't go well together, I decided to try it. Better! AH. Curious, I went home and chose a bag of black tea from my mom's tea collection, added milk —and I could finally understand why people drank it! Still to this day I don't really fancy green lemon tea or tea without milk..:D Finally, years after, I've grown to like the taste of coffee too. In the US I had a few frappes when we went out with my friends (icy, blended latte) and I've figured that unless the cafeteria is exquisite or called a "tea house", their tea is most likely just average and I prefer trying their coffees. Adding a lots of milk to go with the strong taste, coffee turns out to be kind of delicious but this is still a news for me haha! I don't see myself drinking normal plain coffee ever in the future — and tea is well enough for my satisfaction. (#tealovers) But with all that being said, the following is one of my newest food crushes. Seeing S's leftovers in the coffee maker every morning made me curious... What would happen if...?
