That's funny. When I was in Russian, I never saw anyone put lemon in
their tea. Then again, I didn't see any lemons while I was there
either.
I did see, on the other hand, people flavoring their tea with
marmelades/jams/preserves, which is a habit I continue to this day.

The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to
assume you're pretentious.
