American-style iced tea is the perfect drink for a hot, sunny day. It's never really caught on in the UK, probably because the last time we had a hot, sunny day was back in 1957.

I love tea.
I'm an afternoon tea type of girl. I come from a Russian background where we love our teas. So between lunch and dinner after training I come home and I love a nice cup of tea with jam in it, as we drink it there. Black English Breakfast with raspberry jam is my favorite.
Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.
The tea is ice-cold, the room grows colder and colder, but I grow warmer and warmer.
I do hold very strongly that tea is better in England. There's something in the milk. They must have special cows.
If me and my friends are feeling decadent, we go for afternoon tea.
In a shooting day in the U.K., every few hours, everyone takes a bit of a tea break - not coffee, but a tea break. They bring out these little finger sandwiches with the crust cut off. Everyone sits around for a few minutes, with their pinkies in the air, drinking. It's so cultured.
When I was in college, I spent a summer working in London. I'd enjoyed tea before that, but then I got actual, really good tea there and never looked back.
I like Yorkshire Tea - very strong and English.
In London, love and scandal are considered the best sweeteners of tea.
