Tea

What is it?

Freshly brewed from tea bags, this hot drink comes with hot water and milk on the side, so you can add as much or as little as you like. It's served in a takeaway cup, usually with a lid, and the brew itself is plain and straightforward rather than flavoured or sweetened. Compared with iced drinks and coffees on the same menu, it's the most basic hot beverage available, built for quick service and easy customisation. Bags are left in the cup, so steeping time is up to you. For a fast-food setting, the quality is decent enough for a straightforward cuppa, and the option to control milk strength means you're not stuck with someone else's idea of how strong it should be.
