Two sugars? A bit of milk?
I personally let my black teas steep really long for a more robust flavors. Greens I like more light. How about all ya'll?

store brand black tea here. Let steep quite awhile for strength. One level teaspoon real sugar, no "lightner".

Ice cold, on the rocks but made by the 🌞 Sun 🌞. Add mint, peaches and I’m a happy person👍👍👍.
PS
Hot tea with honey if/when I have a cold.

Ice cold sweet tea (not too sweet) mixed with half lemonade (Arnold Palmer).
Hot tea - just plain and steeped for a while so its strong. Once in a while a little bit of honey. It depends on what type of tea it is.

Earl Grey, 2 teabags steeped a long time for plenty of body. A little honey. In the winter, I like it in the afternoon with a wee dram of Irish whisky added. Nothing improves the flavor of tea like Bushmill's.

I am a coffee drinker. But every now and then I have a cup of tea. My favorite variety is Assam tea, made strong, no sugar no milk. Sometimes in the winter I like a pot of Chinese Ooling tea. Sometimes in the morning I'll have a cup of Earl Grey, or Irish Breakfast tea. My main complaint with tea is that it doesn't taste anything like coffee.  |

Steeped well, and over-sweetened. Iced tea, like roadsdiverged, mixed with lemonade. |

Black tea, strong, hot and either plain, with sugar or milk and sugar.
Black, green and herbal tea, cold brewed, drink it ice cold and lighly sweetened.

I like both Oolong and Earl Grey, strong with sweetener as I'm a Type 1 diabetic. Makes life interesting to say the least!  |

Love iced tea with lemon. Down South that’s what is mostly served.....super sweet tea!!! I’ll make my own or by Lowe’s brand unsweetened in the cooler weather. I drink ice tea year round, rarely soda. PS
NEVER WITH MILK!!! |

I used to drink a lot of sweet iced tea, but since I am trying to drop some gross tonnage, I drink green tea with nothing but ice now.
I like hot Earl Grey tea without anything added.
Mostly for hot beverages, though, I am a black coffee drinker

I use a French "tea" press (smaller than a French "coffee" press... never use the same one for tea AND coffee!) Tea of choice is Fortnum and Mason Royal Blend. No cream.

I didn't know a tea press was a thing! How does using one change a cup? I assume its like a french press coffee and it helps retain more of the oils from the leaves. I'd like to try that. |

I get the large Lipton filter packs, toss one in the Bunn Commercial coffee maker, if I want it stronger, I can just drop the filter in the pot.
Add Ice to make a gallon.
I have been making it less this year though, trying to drink more water here in the desert.
