    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!)

      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.
