Tea turns good milk bad?
I have a mix of Oolong and Chai tea, and when it was done brewing into a nice dark red tea, I poured a bit of perfectly good milk in. Well, the milk instantly soured and turned to flakes. I tried a bit of the milk just to make sure, and it was definitely still fine (and more than a week away from the expiration date!). Any ideas as to what causes this? I’ve never heard of tea spoiling milk before!
I’ve had this happen in plain black tea before — no lemon or other citrus to blame there. When this has happened to me, the milk goes off the next day or so. The milk hasn’t yet gone off, but is going to go very soon, and the heat in the tea seems to hasten the process somewhat.
Green tea okay?
I LOVE green tea, I drink Arizona Diet green tea, starbucks tazo green tea, sometimes the lipton diet green tea. Basically everyday I have it, cause it tastes good a good antioxidant and for the metabolism. I love it, but is it okay to drink when you are TTC or pregnant? Do I have to give it up or can I drink it once a day?
You got me thinking because I am a teadrinker too but haven’t had much since getting pregnant but i do love greentea so I looked it up online and the first site i came to was interesting http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/nutrition/foodsafety/greenteaexpert/
starbucks???

Vanilla Bean Frappuccino® Blended Crème

I’m a first time starbuckser and can’t decide between the:
Vanilla Bean Frappuccino® Blended Crème
Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino® Blended Crème
Tazo® Chai Frappuccino® Blended Crème
Don’t tell me what YOU get,
HOW DO I ORDER THAT IN STABUCKS LINGO/??

As a former Starbucks barista, I can tell you the "proper" way (meaning the way baristas are trained to call out the drink orders) to order any drink at Starbucks is to pretty much follow the boxes on the cup from top to bottom.
1. First you announce if the drink is decaf, if it’s regular, you don’t say "regular."
2. Then "iced" if the drink can be hot or iced, and you want it iced. If it can be either, and you say nothing, it will be made hot (unless the barista is smart enough to clarify with you first). If it can only be made one way, such as a frappuccino, you do not need to specify hot or iced. There is no box for this, as there are hot cups and cold cups.
3. Next is the number of espresso shots. Each size of each drink has its own unique recipe with the number of espresso shots to go into it: tall= 1 shot, grande = 2 shots, hot venti = 2 shots, iced venti = 3 shots. If you want more or less than the standard number of shots, you’d mention it here. For example, a grande latte comes with 2 shots normally, but you want 3 – you’d say "triple" to indicate that.
4. Next you say the size – tall =12 ounces, grande = 16 ounces, venti = 20 ounces hot and 24 ounces iced. This may come before or after announcing the number of shots, depending on the "flow" of the drink call. (See example #1…)
5. Next is added flavoring for standard-recipe drinks, such as the vanilla in a vanilla latte. Or say you wanted to add hazelnut to your mocha…
6. Next is the kind of milk: whole milk is the default, so if you say nothing, you’ll get whole milk. You can also say "Breve" which is half and half, "nonfat" "2%" and "soy." Some locations also offer organic milk…
7. Next, is any kind of special extras or ommissions – the all-purpose box to capture your personal preferences that don’t fit neatly into any other category, like "no whipped cream," or "extra whip cream" or even things like "no water" in hot chai teas, or even a temperature preference, like "145 degrees" instead of the standard milk steaming temp of 165-170 degrees. You can also say extra or no ice here.
8. Lastly is the drink name: latte, mocha, white mocha, caramel macchiato.
Not all customizing options are available on all drinks, just by way of their original recipes. For example, blended creme frappuccinos don’t have any coffee in them, so decaf or regular does not apply. They are also a pre-blended milk mixture, so you can’t specify whole, nonfat, or soy, either.
Just for fun, here are a couple drink "calls" and what you’ll end up getting:
1. "Decaf iced venti quad hazelnut soy latte" = a 24 ounce cold drink made with 4 decaf espresso shots (instead of the standard 3 shots in inced venti drinks), 6 pumps of hazelnut syrup (standard in iced venti drinks) and soy milk. For some reason, it just sounds better to say the "venti" before the "quad" to me, but technically, saying the quad first would be the Starbucks way.
2. "Grande soy with whip white mocha" = a 16 ounce hot drink made from 2 caffeinated espresso shots (standard for grande drinks), 4 pumps white mocha syrup, soy milk, and whipped cream – which is normally standard on drinks with dairy, but is automatically left off when somebody orders soy milk, unless they specifically request it.
3. "Half-caf triple tall vanilla breve latte" = a 12 ounce hot drink made from 3 half regular-half decaf espresso shots, half and half and 3 pumps vanilla syrup.
These are all drinks I have made for customers, by the way.
So I know this is WAAAY more information than the average consumer needs when they walk into a Starbucks, but it just goes to show you how many options you have in making your $5 signature drink a true expression of who you are. 
And, all Starbucks employees should be willing to work with you however you state your drink preferences.
Happy sipping!
