I do hate to interrupt your very interesting and educational debate on the 
matter of Tea, but, I do feel the need to interject something.
Milo's Sweet Tea is a highly addictive substance sold by a fast food place 
popular here in the South. (I love it, too, I just can't have it very often-too 
much sugar!)
 Her Majesty is not the first Queen we have had to claim it as her favorite 
beverage. I well remember helping another Queen's entourage in our past buy out 
various grocery stores to load up her coolers for Pennsic...that and Diet 
Pepsi. 
This present Queen has also expressed an admiration for European dark beers. 
But, I am not a brewer and it is NOT good to get the Queen Tidlly before 
various meetings and Court....;)

thank you!!!

Helen
All according to Her Majesty's Tastes....
