2 for coffee, none for tea. I used to take 2 but I cut it out to see if I could get used to it and it now makes me feel sick if I have sugar in my tea!

Coffee? 5 sugars with lots of cream.

Tea? 1 with almost no cream. But it has to be real black tea, not that herbal crap.

None. Nothing. Zilch, zip, nada, zero, absolutely jack!

Mainly because I like my coffee like mud.

Before I began a career of espresso slinging I didn't even drink coffee. Then, when I first started, I could do a 16oz (aka "Grande") coffee with 6 sugars and about 1/3 cream...it was like liquid coffee candy. After a couple of years my enjoyment of the actual taste of coffee increased and I cut out any additives at all. Now it's just black; no cream, no sugar, just the richness of freshly-brewed coffees from all over the world. And none of that flavored crap, either. That's just a bad thing to do to typically sub-par coffee.

Three teaspoons for either tea or coffee. I used to put two teaspoons in hot chocolate, but then I started adding more milk instead, which made it taste better.

If you want to know what sugar really is, but a few scoops in pure water. It tastes like nothing, just stored energy. So basically it tastes good with flavouring because your body wants to get energy, and it enhances the taste. However, in plain old water, you can see it's true form. You get to see what it really is, beyond that innocent pure white exterior. Empty calories. No nutritional value at all. Just fattening you up and making you more tasty for cannibals. That being said, about two or three.

None! It's what is making Americans fat. My mom ,who is a liscensed nutritionist, said the human body (on average) only needs 1 tbsp of sugar a week to live. Now think about it, most energy drinks have 12. So in one energy drink you are consuming 12 weeks of needed sugars worth, and there are people that drink several a day.

And I put booze in my coffee.

The perfect cup of tea:

1. Stir teabag until it's as strong as it can go.
2. Add two heaped teaspoons of sugar.
3. Add generous amounts of milk until a beige/skin colour is achieved.

It really is perfect. =]
Strong, sweet and smooth.

So...why does sugar taste good on its own then?

Maybe it only wants you to think it does. But I don't like just sugar in water. It doesn't have any flavour that I can tell.
