I started drinking coffee when I was in high school. I found it stayed hot longer than hot chocolate, and it was perfect for those late season football games and band competitions. I always drink it black. I don’t like the taste of sugar in coffee, and creamer gives me indigestion (go figure).

When I go to coffee shops, I usually drink espresso. I don’t own an espresso maker, so I treat myself when I’m out.

I like tea, but only when the mood strikes me. Lately, I’ve been having Earl Grey. (I’m afraid my Star Trek fanship is showing.)

I prefer strong coffee with either milk or half-n-half.

When I drink hot tea, which isn’t often, I like it strong with lots of sugar.

I like iced tea with sugar as well…

I also like expresso and cappacinno from time to time as well as those bottles of Starbucks Frappacinno.

Here’s a way to make your own version of Frappacinno:
