Ice Cold Tea


Hot TEA in a small cup? Yes.
But only once in a while.
Cold TEA in a large glass? Yes.
But only once in a while.

Notwithstanding, a large glass of
ice-cold TEA on a hot summer afternoon
on a regular basis is absolutely fabulous.

However, eating with my TEA is a 'NO NO'.
Indeed, TEA TIME, whether hot or cold,
suits me best as a 'stand-alone'.

Hot coffee in a small cup? Yes.
Cold coffee, cup, or glass? No.
I like both TEA and coffee. It's
probable cultural, but in early
mornings, coffee beckons me more.

For me, if there were a drinking contest between
coffee and TEA, it would be a matter of the season
and 'time of day'. Early mornings? Coffee wins.
Mid-afternoon on a hot summer day? TEA wins.
