my poor southern mind just can not comprehend the idea of tea and milk together

I'm sure milk works in green tea... I think you can order green bubble tea. Though I have trouble reconciling that idea myself.

I've been drinking a lot of green tea lately, I'd keep a tea pot full of the stuff if it weren't terrible when cold.

Never tried milk in green tea. With green, I just like to do lemon slices and sugar. Simple but classic.

I use lime instead.
Also I like making my own bubble tea (sans bubbles) by putting in some drink syrup instead of sugar.

Pretty much this

Also my poor half-Asian mind cannot comprehend why people sweeten green tea :psyduck:
I mean, I drink black tea sweetened, but even then not always.

I think I just had a bad experience with sweetened green tea from a bottle or something, but it should be fine on its own if the tea is any good at all.

I've actually never had bubble tea, but I've heard good things about it. there's just no place to get it around here.

I prefer green tea sweetened. Then again I'm also fond of the fake-booty lipton green tea, so I probably can't judge.

I drink real fresh green tea unsweetened but also like those bottled/cartoned ones that are sweetened.

Bubble tea, depending on what you get is either simple milk tea with pearls, or tea with added fruit flavour syrup (yummy) or milk tea with fruit flavour syrup, or yogurt tea with fruit flavour syrup (tastes better than it sounds but doesn't have much to do with tea anymore).
My favourite is black tea with guava syrup and green tea jelly cubes instead of pearls.

Oh! I just googled Milk Tea, and it turns out that's actually something I drink fairly regularly, but around here we just call it Boba Tea / Bobas. The pearls part should have tipped me off in the first place.

Haha, I've always wondered what it was, because I've seen it mentioned so many times around here.

I like mine with honeydew, or just plain green tea if I don't feel like drinking something too sweet.

Tetley. Milk and 2 sugars. I just think of this as 'tea' but the amount of people that refer to this as "builder's brew" is staggering.

I am really good at hiding the fact I was raised working class until someone pops the kettle on.

Oh god, I'm such a tea prude.

I go to a local tea lounge in my town almost every day and know all the workers. I buy only loose-leaf blends, and steep my own tea at specific temperatures with my fancy electric kettle and steeper. A lot of my friends work there, and every month they create 3 custom drinks out of the teas they have on tap. They also have these things called "choobies" that usually go in iced tea. They're little things of coconut jelly soaked in various fruit juices/flavors, and are AMAZING.

When I moved into my dorm last year, I had an entire box full of tins of tea.

I can see why you're Spoony's favourite.
