14.1. Reading Turkish people love drinking tea. They drink tea to wake up in the morning, to have a nice chat with friends, to keep warm in winter and to keep awake in the evenings. That's a lot of tea! An average Turkish person drinks two cups of tea every day. But people have different preferences. Some people drink it dark, some people drink it mild. Some people add sugar in it, some people don't. Some people add pieces of lemon. When you go to a café and ask for tea, always tell your preference to the waiter.
