Is there anything better than Lemon Tea? →[More:]We have those tea/coffee dispensing machines in our office and I just can't seem to get enough of the stuff. Honestly, when it's hot, it gives you a good kick, and when its cold, it tastes just like Ice Tea. What could be better?

Any recommendation/personal faves that you drink/munch on in the office?

What could be better?

Fiery penises and shrimp plates.

My favorite tea is Earl Gray, but I love and look forward to coffee in the morning. There's nothing better than a morning cup of coffee.

Water.
Everything else is too expensive, or it's a kind of carbonated beverage which I no longer drink.

Not working.
Is better than lemon tea.
Also - basketball.

I go through two or three tall travel mugs of Earl Grey tea every morning at work.

I can think of many, many, many things that are better than lemon tea, so many things. However I am sincerely glad that you enjoy it so much sir.

Thousands of things, at least.

I'm pretty crazy about Camomile tea at the moment. Love the stuff. Of course, nothing beats a good brew of Yorkshire Tea.

Peppermint Tea. It's crack in a cup, and you can spike it with booze in a pinch.

Yeah, I'm all about the peppermint. I can't have any caffeine, so many things I love are forbidden. *sad face*

Lately I have been drinking white tea with a slight dash of freshly squeezed orange juice in the afternoon. The remaining fresh OJ I save for the next morning's breakfast.

Peppermint tea seconded... err thirdeded. I have a six cup a day habit of that demon stuff now that I've given up drinking anything caffeinated after noon.

I can't even begin to list how many things are, to me, far better than lemon tea.

However, few are rated G.

Most days, at the office, I drink green or white tea all morning, then iced tea at lunch, then water all afternoon.

Also, I think I want to hear more about all these things that are better than lemon tea. In metrical verse, ideally, but I'm not particular.

I drink a lot of water and diet soda at work, although some mornings I bring in tea in a thermos.

Here ya go, box:

Lemon tea, very tasty,
And the lemon smell is neat,
But there's one thing that's better,
It's the thrill each time we meet.

I hear lemon parties are quite enjoyable.

That's wonderful, JanetLand. I want to sing it to the tune of 'Lemon Tree.'

Lemonparty.

That's SFW, by the way.

Homemade iced tea. There is nothing better, particularly but not exclusively when it's hot out.

It is indeed meant to be sung to the tune of Lemon Tree, box!

Spoon of honey, two spoons orange juice (really really really good if fresh squeezed), fill remainder of glass with water and ice cubes.

I don't know if it's a sign of old age or not, but I really like watered down orange juice. Really a lot.

I've been drinking a lot of cranberry tea lately, but I also love Aveno's peppermint licorice tea. It's amazing.
