I like teas, they are comforting to me, especially on a cold day.  Real Simple did a taste test on over 200 teas you can buy at your local supermarket.

What kind of tea do you like and how do you take it?  I usually do mine with lemon and stevia, no milk for me.

I drink Hot tea every morning. I've been drinking green tea for years now. I like mine with my fav creamer of the moment!
