this is why the prophet joseph smith prohibited hot beverages haram

Hot beverages keep the antichrist away.

That's because you're drinking a bunch of tannins on an empty stomach. Operator Error, either eat something or git gud at drinking tea.

The cure for this is hot tea

Hot black tea on an empty stomach made me puke once. 😣

I stick to herbal tea now when I don't have anything to eat with it.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't know this was a thing, I drink tea that's so dark it stains the mug instantly but I'm a stinky brit so shrug-outta-hecks

What if yanks threw the tea into the harbour because it made their tummies upset. 🤔

[–] Red_Eclipse@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

That happened to me too. I guess it's a Thing then, huh.

My auntie drinks unsweetened hot black tea with lemon, but dilutes it to about half strength with hot water after steeping. It's more like a honey amber colour than brown. I tried it and it's easier on the tum for sure.

Diluting the tea definitely helps, but I still need some biscotti or oatmeal and my tea needs to be weak and milky

I've found this blueberry herbal tea that tastes like cupcakes tho so I'm good

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds yummy :)

Oi guvenor! That's cuz you didn't have enough digestive biscuits before ya ate ya tea mate! Try some Robby Flop Flop or Jammy Gutter Floopies first!

Last night I thought about having some beans on toast but I suppressed my anglo instincts and had beanis and rice instead.

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Beans on toast are amazing if you put enough sriracha and paprika powder on them to make them craKKKerphobic. This also works with other British sandwich based dishes, like cream cheese and cucumber.

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Beans on toast is a meal for comrades

I thought britbong was for Australians, because of like, billabongs? I guess I've been wrong this whole time.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

It's in the anthem, Drool Brittania or something like that

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I think it comes from some old Internet joke where a british person says something like "oi mate, 'ow many bongs (from Big Ben) is it?"

[–] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Dont drink the bongwater, british or not.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

That's why you eat it with lots of small sandwiches and slices of cakes.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is hot tea actually a br*tish invention? Did everywhere else in the world just have it cold before the Ukkk got its hands on it?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

It's bad, i.e. probably br*ish
