Glorious Escapism Roleplay

Well, that's kind of a difficult question. I mean, I enjoy all sorts of flavors.

If I limit it to what I already drink, I typically go for sweet stuff, but usually with something to balance it out. Fruit juices are my favorite, as well as lemonade and stuff like that. I'll occasionally go for something milk based or even rarer coffee based. Other than that, I like most sodas. I don't usually like to drink plain water, I dislike the taste of alcohol and I don't like overly bitter drinks.

Well, Black Vanilla with three sugars tastes like custard. It's glorious.

I'm not sure I've had much custard that isn't frozen

Still, that does sound like it might be pretty good. I kind of like vanilla.

the beauty of tea is that it's so variable. If it's too bitter, you add sugar, honey or sweeteners. If it's too bland, you can add milk or lemon juice.

Teas like Earl Grey are smokey, whereas teas like English Breakfast and Assam are rich and bitter (hence the milk and sugar).

Peppermint with sugar and a little lemon is nice. It's like a boiled sweet.

I see. It definitely sounds intriguing.

I kind of feel like Victorique.

I suggest trying it. The worst that can happen is you spend a few dollars and find you're not a fan.

Start with English Breakfast. Have it black first, and then add milk and sugar to taste.

I'm not even sure they sell a lot of English teas around here. Then again, I've never really been compelled to look...

Yeah. I could always do that.

I'm sure there are places that probably do sell it though too. I mean, in a city like this there isn't much I can't find.

Haha, I'm stuck with that decaf crap we have in my house. :C
Then again, since you introduced me to the wonders of hot chocolate coffee my life is complete. Also trying to find somewhere I could store a small bottle of rum, because a tiny bit of that in hot chocolate makes me really sleepy.

Get yourself a hipflask, my darling!

And hey, your father can't really complain if you get a small bottle.

True. He -does- let me drink the wine he buys more or less freely now. And he bought me some WKD yesterday, but that's really more because it tastes yummy and it's an alcopop so if I drink lots I won't be too hungover to go to college than anything.

That said, I don't really drink when I'm on my own. Hence why I don't have any hard liquor or anything in my house right now. I'm like you when I drink alone in the sense that I drink for the taste, whereas unlike you, when I'm being social, I will go for stronger things and intend to get a little tipsy as a social thing.

Anyway, not to derail the thread, remind me to purchase some of that black vanilla the next time I go to Norwich. I think you can take little packs of the tea bags away.

Yeah, they sell lots of it. It's all loose-leaf though.
