Coffee Break

Donna is tired of coffee



This is truly shocking and I do not know what to think. Maybe you`ve had too much coffee each day for such a long time? I am drinking coffee again, though I think that I may begin having a cup of tea before going to bed at night, just to warm me up. With these larger coffee cups I`ve got I am not having as many cups though.



Let us know how you do with this. If I were you I`d make sure that the tea has caffeine in it or you may wind up w/horrible headaches from the withdrawals.

Are you



I think I will faint.

Oh I feel so aloooone! Its always sad to lose a drinking buddy.



I just bought some black chai spice tea from STASH....I usually drink plain teas like English or Irish Breakfast teas. Hubby and I often have a cup of hot tea in the evenings...especially w/cool weather here. Can`t quite go for the cup of hot water though....

I must say that I am slightly predjudice towards a nice cuppa hot tea in the mornings and occasionally in the evenings. Hot water with a wedge of lemon is actually nice.



Rasberry Earl Grey by the Gypsy Lady (sold in supermarkets) is really quite good in the morning. Without sugar and cream or a dash of honey....

You heat your drinking water? My water has to be ice cold. Some times it is nice to make a change. I like change.

That is unthinkable! That `fresh brewed coffee` sign is one of the things I associate with you!



What kind of tea do you drink? I am partial to rooibos.



My MIL drinks hot water with a slice of lemon in it all the time.

Are you ok?



I can`t believe it, but if you are going to drink hot water squeeze some fresh lemon juice into and cleanse your liver at the same time.

Well, wonders never cease!



I like cold drinks, no matter how chilly it is. Hot tea makes me cringe, and coffee is only an occasional treat since I like it with sugar, whipped cream, and hazlenut syrup in a to-go cup. That`s probably too much information for you, but there it is.

its ok Donna. I get tired of coffee sometimes too..here in the northwest we have coffee/espresso shops EVERYWHERE and I do liketo have a mocha now and then.I do the water and lemon thing as often as I can. The rooibos tea is also one of my favorites and it is good for you...happy days water or coffee or tea....

:ooo:



I kicked it too- the coffee habit I mean. It was really upsetting my reflux problem. :cry:



I am on a Green-Tea with a slice of Lemon kick lately.



It is supposed to be good for your teeth (green tea). Helps prevent cavities so I`ve read.



It is a bit bitter though- so I have opted for a spoon of honey in it which probably decreases the cavity protection!



I am not loving it and am longing to just order some Almond-Amaretto Cappuccino instead.



Let us know how the Donna sans Coffee goes? It is a bit but I hope you will find a good healthy tea to replace it.

I am speechless. :ooo: Really.



Let us know how it goes. I do not think I could give it up now that I am hooked. It gets me through the dreary Washington days.

I am kind of surprised, but this going without coffee has not been bad. Of course I am drinking hot tea as if I owned the tea plantation.



Thanks to Ginger, I have some tea variety, but generally, I drink regular or special tea early in the day and later, without much pause, I drink decaffeinated tea. Sometimes lemon is added and sometimes it is forgotten. I also forget to put it in my water when I drink it hot.



Michielle, thanks for the lemon/liver tip. Perhaps that will help me remember to put lemon in my water (and tea).



Sheri I can be your distant drinking buddy on weekends if my husband makes a pot of coffee, and he might. I`ve already mentioned to him that if he makes a pot on Saturday, I`ll have a cup. :)

You`re a good friend, Donna, to be willing to help out your hubby and friend by having a with them on the weekends.

Just checking on you. I`ll settle for weekends. Actually, with DH working night shift, my cappuccino consumption is way down. This is totally involuntary! However, I am drinking hot tea in the mornings and I just bought a box of green tea w/plum, which I`ll have tomorrow sometime.
