What kind of condiments do you put in your tea? I usually don't add anything to my tea, since I don't like adding calories, but when I do, I would either put in some milk or I would add lemon juice. Have any of you tried vanilla sugar? It's pretty good. I made some and just added it to a cup of rose hip tea and it tasted splendid. What do you like to add to your tea?

I do not add milk to it because I usually don't like the mixture of it. And I do not add lemon juice because it spoils the actual tea flavor.
I usually add a 70/30 mixture of white and brown sugar.

It usually depends on what type of tea I am drinking.I don't use lemon at all.Sometimes a little honey or a little sugar.

Usually I just add sugar or honey to my tea. Though my mom will add fresh mint leaves to her tea.

If you're an Emilie Autumn fan, and you've heard all of the Opheliac Companion (strange combination I know razz ) they mention mixing Earl Grey with Rum and Lemonseed Tea with Gin. I'm not sure whether they're joking or not, but I kind of want to try it just to see if its any good.

I wonder if adding cloves or orange peel zest would be good, depending on the tea?

Orange peel is always a good idea!
Lemonseed Tea + Gin...ger works.^^ I'm not too fond of the Earl Grey + Rum mixture, though if you're into Irish Coffee you might even enjoy it. It's quite a similar contrast.
What you should definately try is this: Let a mild Earl Grey steep for a short time until the water is deep yellow/orange and add 10% of the amount of water in lemon juice. Now add a small quantity of expensive high quality vodka.
That's just delicious!
