I'm Not British

Apparently drinking iced coffee in this heat, makes me not British. At least according to the old man at the local café, as I walked out with my drink. So what is a British drink on hot days?

Where do I hand my passport in?

Stella? Foreign muck. It's a warm pint of Carling or it's off to the colonies with you.

Funnily enough, hot tea is quite cooling. It's really popular in Botswana.

Anyhoo, a Magnum, please.

Can't go wrong with a cuppa tea and a spoonful of denial.

Nice hot cup of tea.

Yes, the caffeine and the hot water will make you sweat, which will have a cooling effect.

Anything other than hot tea with milk (and optional sugar) is deviant!

Please head to the nearest Pret A Manger for expatriation processing.

Milky, tea with bag left in, that's not been drunk in time and is now revoltingly tepid. Bonus points for 4 teaspoons of undissolved sugar at the bottom.

I've no idea. I don't drink hot drinks at all and people think I'm strange because of that. I had one person tell me they don't trust people who don't have hot drinks. I hope they were only joking.

My entire family mocked me for drinking coldbrew last summer, I caught two of them buying some last week and they told me they never did it so remember it's only good when they know it's good
