As everyone probably knows, I’ve stop Coffee since 5 October and I’m on a self-imposed 100-day ban (finalized after being unsure of how long I want to stop coffee for). Everything is fine except now my default drink changes from coffee to tea/milo. The problem with tea/milo is that there’s only a few kinds of tea for me, Teh-Si (English Breakfast with Evaporate Milk) and Teh-O (English Breakfast without milk). I don’t quite enjoy Teh (English Breakfast with Condensed Milk) or the typical Ceylon tea I get to drink at classy restaurants. And there’s just one type of Milo (Milo-C doesn’t taste much different to me).
Coffee is wonderfully varied; you could order a Cappuccino, Mocha, Latte or get yourself a 3-In-1 type of coffee, brew a cup from the Vietnam Coffee Brewer yourself and many more. So I’m probably going to make a list of hot drinks I could explore to stop myself from thinking too much about coffee every time I need to order a drink.
So besides Tea and Milo, yesterday I went to Starbucks and got myself the Signature Hot Chocolate. I’ll soon be sipping Himalayan Milk Tea at McCafe and here’s a list of other drinks I’m considering when I get to go out:
Tea Latte Chai from The Coffee Bean
Green Tea from any Japanese place
Hot Lemon Tea from some Hong Kong Cafe
Iced Milo from some Roti Prata stall [Oops, maybe I should get the hot one]
Hot Milk wherever they sell that
Hot Miso as a drink, if they sell it in a cup
Hot Chrysanthemum Tea
Horlicks, though I hate it
Pu-er Chinese Tea at some Dim Sum Restaurant
Tie-Guan Yin at a Chinese Banquet (hopefully Vegetarian one)
Can someone think of more?
