A mug (not cup) of steaming hot ginger tea is a must to get me going every morning. I have coffee in the evenings (hot or cold, depending on the weather). I avoid more tea/ coffee during the day but when I have a submission or really need to clear my head - I may indulge in another cup of mocha, hot cocoa or black tea!

Both...

Coffee in the morning to kick start the brain, then tea in the afternoon to help it relax....

Tough question:) I am definitely a morning coffee person, can't start my day without coffee. However, living in England i have had to experience the wide varieties of teas :P. So I am also a very tea person, and usually when reading or writing, i have a cup of tea in my hand. Usually i drink 2-3 cups of tea a day. My favorite is spearmint and fennel, peppermint during the day sitting on my couch and Chamomile and lavender at night on my bed :)

I have an awful sweet tooth. Probably gonna be diabetic one day. I like to have a nice, rich piece of chocolate sitting next to me as I type. Then you need ice water. (Hey, I know you posted this question in winter, but it's summer now!)

Coffee. Unfortunately I am one of those low functioning zombie type creatures without it.

Definitely tea, a good herbal to keep me feeling alert and on the ball.

I like both but I like the cold coffee and I like my tea either cold or hot.

I have far too many cups - by that I mean, mugs - of both right through the day and evening. I also like both, and will drink either, in any order at all. Time of day makes little difference. Instant coffee doesn't appeal as much as fresh, filter coffee.

I like to snuggle up in bed with a mug of Earl (sometimes Lady) Grey and a couple of Blue Ribands (by which I mean a pack). Little bit of milk and one sugar and I'm comfy! :D

A cup of coffee with some cocoa powder, creamer, and a little Splenda (I'm on a sugar-restricted diet) is perfect for reading, writing, homework, or anything that requires concentration. A protein-rich snack is also helpful.

Coffee in the morning for a pick me up (and good coffee at that, often purchased through an independently own coffee shop who roast their own coffee, not from a grocery store), and then I like unsweetened tea from Adagio in the afternoons/evenings. I'm really into their fandom sampler sets, it satisfies the fangirl in me :) And of course, plenty of water in between and at bedtime.

Always coffee before I sit down, before I start anything I have my quiet coffee
