Tea: depending on the type of tea. Some really good teas I can drink without sugar, but the stuff from the supermarket? Yeah, add 1 or 2 lumps of sugar for me, please. And some brands of teas I just completely skip (No thank you to Aldi thee, Jumbo huismerk thee, LaPlace thee and Lipton thee)
Coffee: I prefer cappuccino. I need some milk or milk-substitute in my coffee, otherwise it’s too bitter.
There’s a little trick you can do that will improve even crud like Tetley’s or Red Rose or their ilk into something approaching drinkability.
Wash the tea.
Put in the bag (the real crud’s ALWAYS in a bag!). Pour scalding hot water on top. Swish it around a few seconds. Throw it (the liquor) away. Then brew as normal. It won’t be great tea by any means, but it will be drinkable, if only just.

I’ll try this some time. Thanks for the tip.
