    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.

      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.

      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.
