white sugar - are you sure it's not because same amount of it will
be ~1.5x sweeter than brown sugar?

I should try molasses one of these days.. I need to buy molasses for
bread anyway.

Here's what I'm doing now:

* half and half
* simmer 15 mins
* stir all the time
* turbinado sugar

The neat thing is that it really fuses into something entirely different
than just tea with added milk. 15 minutes and stirring really create a
new beast. The only issue I'm having is that the tea I have (Shahrzad)
isn't very good so if I add too much of it, it becomes bitter rather
than strong tea-flavored. I think a decent assam might work much better.
