Cream? With tea? Do we need a war of 1812 part 2?

You know what I hate? In the rare times I order tea at a restaurant (they never boil the water, so it’s almost always weak), I ask for milk instead of cream and the waiter looks at me like I asked for some sugar to put on my steak.

I’ve made this mistake when visiting US customers. Tea is not as common in Canada as coffee but it’s still much more common than Coke with your breakfast. Most place carry regular and herbal teas, even coffee shops.
I sometimes forget when going for a business lunch and order tea in some US restaurants. One time they brought out the old school full size tea pot for 6. Mr Belvedere would have been proud. The milk was a bit of a juggle for them too versus cream in those little plastic cups.
Now I just stick with coffee or ice tea when south.

I really do not like coffee, but I will tolerate iced tea (can’t say I love it either). I don’t like soft drinks, so it’s pretty much iced tea or water for me if I go out.

I love both but I grew up guzzling coffee during the day, then our grandparents would serve us orange pekoe tea with dinner to calm us down. This was after spiking our coffee with sugar cubes and condensed milk which is like liquid sugar. I’m amazed we ever slept. At least the caffeine kept us up through the sugar crashes.
I use to drink a lot of pop/soda too. Root Beer was my choice. These days it’s usually water and mostly ice tea if it’s not water. In my parts tea is sweetened so it’s my adult pop but I try to avoid it. I’ve consumed enough sugar for several lifetimes already.

Tea with milk is the best thing ever. Everybody always looks at me weird when I put milk in my tea. They’re just missing out, to be honest.
The worst part is that one of my friends doesn’t mind putting milk in Pepsi but has the audacity to look at me funny when I put milk in tea.

Milk in Pepsi? What shortcircuited in their brain to make that taste good to them?

I legitimately can’t comprehend what this would taste like
