Caffeine of Choice


James and Peter were traditionalists. They liked their caffeine in the form of tea, thank you very much. Although James would occasionally add lemon and honey, Peter firmly preferred milk and sugar.

Sirius's new favourite was coffee. He said that tea was for society matrons, offered primarily so they could show off their family china and monogrammed silver. Coffee was for the young and rebellious, like the disillusioned American expatriates in a Muggle novel he'd read. (Remus suspected that Sirius simply enjoyed ordering it "strong, hot, and Black.")

Remus allowed his friends to argue while he savoured his hot chocolate.

Red tea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooibos) isn't really tea at all; it's another plant altogether which is prepared and drunk like tea.

And, yes, green tea is the latest fad in both hot and iced tea.

But I'm talking about traditional "Y'all want tea?" iced tea that's served throughout THE SOUTH in the USA. (To whence I shall soon be making my annual pilgrimage. Only black tea will do, and the relatives I'm vacationing with will go through about 3 gallons of the stuff a day.)
