Michelle one of the things which really perplexed me while I was living in the US was the thought of adding cream to tea, as I have black tea anyway it diesn't matter but I did often wonder if people in the US really do add cream and not milk to tea? Please enlighten me

I think its since cream is used for coffee, and coffee is more common here than tea, that folks make that association.
That is the biggest reason I drink tea instead of coffee, tea doesn't need any dairy (milk or cream) to make it drinkable, and for me coffee always does.
On a similar subject, have you ever had Thai Iced Tea? Its pre-sweetened and has cream in it and the tea is a really strong brew. Intresting, but not very drinkable in my experence....
If you can't be a shining example, be a terrible warning!
For me, both tea (reasonable stuff, not the tea bag debris) and fresh coffee are both best taken as is - no milk or sugar. Maybe a dash of lemon in tea.
But instant coffee has to have added milk. I cannot imagine cream in tea, although I have heard of the Devon Cream Tea - sounds like instant cardiovascular failure!
Never knowingly underfed
