    How many sugars in your tea?
    Just a random question, I used to have 2 teaspoons but now ive cut down to 1 and sometimes even a half ...
    My brother though can't have tea without having like at least 4 teaspoons of sugar .. So wanted to know what everyone else's preferences are?

    This may horrify people but I don't put sugar in my tea. My mum never did so it was a case of 'monkey see monkey do'. I have a friend who puts in 2 tablespoons into their tea and they're bouncing off the walls.

    I used to have sugar in my tea when I was a child, but as I've gotten older I've grown less attached to it.

    None at all Except for in bad coffee, where I just spoon it in to try and dull the otherwise brutal taste!

    Two or three, depending on the size of the mug.

    Used to be 2, now down to 0. None of my friendship groups take sugar, it's their influences.

    One, or a couple of sweetners. On a working day must have at least 3/4 teas at work.

    Coffee is more like 3 sugars, although trying to bring this down. Never sweetners.

    two sweeteners. Three if I have a massive cup though.

    Hubby has three no matter which cup he uses.
    Mother in law has four in a small cup.
    My dad has two in his coffee (not a tea drinker).
    My mother has none.

    When I was a kid I always had a teaspoon of honey in my tea, like my grandma did. That is still my preference, but sweeteners are less calories.

    Two if it's a casual drink. Probably more if it's to wake me up, or keep me awake.
