I am a tea junkie! I drink cold tea more often than water, I believe.
Here are my favorites:
Cold teas: dark only, not sweetener at all on most occasions, generally plain
Hot teas: so many varieties! Rooibos tea is great with a bit of honey, Earl Grey is very good, all dark teas with sugar enough to taste it, not overwhelming. My favorite teas are those above, Chinese teas, African teas (various bushes), and generally all dark teas.

I prefer hot tea, but I drink cold tea aswell (if the hot tea gets cold
I drink it anyway). I like black tea best. Sometimes I have milk in my
tea, somtimes not (it depends on what tea I'm drinking), but never
sugar.

What I meant by this British thing was opposed to that Russian way of drinking tea (I am not a fan, because I do not like the tea blends) and their way of putting hard alcohol in tea.
I know that Latrvians are not Russians (although around 50% of the population is), but I'm sure you've been exposed to this kind of phenomenum

I add only a slight dash of milk. Not too much, and for certain teas like Earl Grey, I don't add milk at all.

It's not only a British thing, it's a Kazakh thing too.

it's a British thing, or more like a Welsh thing (too much goats and sheep and a surplus of milk) 
I can't possibly think of a good tea coming from Darjeeling or a superbly spiced Orange pekoe or Earl Grey (a tad to lemon to accompany the bergamot) and simply waste it with a cloud of milk (a cumulo-nimbus rather than a cyrus too)

Hot tea exclusively!!! And made by myself, if possible (but sometimes I have no choice other than to use the tea bags -- quite a substitute of tea (I mean, not real tea)).
The black tea is preferred upon the green one.
No additions -- no sugar, no milk. For me to add something to the tea is to spoil it.

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

I mostly like hot tea, but I will drink it cold, especially if I forgot about the hot tea and it turned into cold tea.
