    That's because you're drinking a bunch of tannins on an empty stomach. Operator Error, either eat something or git gud at drinking tea.

    Hot black tea on an empty stomach made me puke once. 😣

    I stick to herbal tea now when I don't have anything to eat with it.

      My auntie drinks unsweetened hot black tea with lemon, but dilutes it to about half strength with hot water after steeping. It's more like a honey amber colour than brown. I tried it and it's easier on the tum for sure.

      Beans on toast are amazing if you put enough sriracha and paprika powder on them to make them craKKKerphobic. This also works with other British sandwich based dishes, like cream cheese and cucumber.

      I think it comes from some old Internet joke where a british person says something like "oi mate, 'ow many bongs (from Big Ben) is it?"

    That's why you eat it with lots of small sandwiches and slices of cakes.

    Is hot tea actually a br*tish invention? Did everywhere else in the world just have it cold before the Ukkk got its hands on it?
