What stuff can I put in tea to make it taste good?

Question

It is this really cheap Hyvee tea called "Orange Pekoe and Pekoe Black Tea." I want to drink it warm.

Answer 1

Put in some milk and sugar. You can heat the milk for a few seconds in the microwave so as not to heat it old.
I love HyVee (grocery store) but next time shell out the few extra cents and buy the name brand tea. Tea is not something to scrimp on, it makes a difference.
You can also try some honey it the tea.
