Chapter: Comic
Some people like to drink their coffee or tea hot or cold year round. I prefer to change it with the seasons. The changeover is sometimes ambiguous. I frequently prepare it one way only to wish I made the opposite choice.

You, my good sir, are clearly not from England – hot tea all year round. Then again it never gets all that hot over here… :S
Solution: Hot tea + Ice cubes.
Heretic!
For me, it’s actually Hot Tea + Ice Cubes Made With Tea while the weather’s still mostly hot. Otherwise, it is LimboTea time.
This is called iced tea.
I actually drink hot tea all year round, though my quantity lowers in winter when hot cocoa takes over part of the rotation.
Nice.
that comic fits today’s weather like lock & key – in the sun you’re burning up like a matchstik, in shadows and inside you freeze to death.
“I live somewhere that starts getting not-summer daytime weather before the third week of November” isn’t literally a “First-World Problem” but… >.>
In summer I just add mint to my hot tea. I prefer hot tea to iced, so I just add the illusion of coldness with minty goodness.
When you make iced tea with mint (either adding mint or using mint tea in the equation), it feels practically arctic with every sip.
Organic green tea with mint, and a shot of honey while it’s hot. All year!
Friday’s the last day of Summer; autumnal equinox at 07:45 Saturday (PDT)!
I drink them both all year round.
I eat more ice cream in winter than in summer, and also eat it outside more in winter than summer… Hot things in summer will actually often cool you down by making the hypothalamus overcompensate, and do the reverse in winter. Do not attempt if sick, or already either hypothermic or suffering heat sickness or nearly so.
It’s time for luke warm tea!
