A Cuppa Tea

The Irish love a good cup of tea, and over the past few centuries tea has been the beverage of choice offered to guests and visitors to Irish homes.

Hot tea, served with milk and sometimes sugar, is made daily in most Irish homes.  Black tea without flavorings is the most common variety of tea.

Cafés and restaurants serve tea in little pots, that customers can pour at their leisure.
