    預備杯茶嘅我個方法

    我幾乎每日都飲啲茶。如果飲綠茶，我寧願飲冇糖嘅茶。
    但如果飲<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">杯</s>紅茶，就會想加啲奶同<s style="background-color: rgb(235, 214, 255);">啲</s>糖。
    有時飲冇糖嘅紅茶都幾好，但係其實我唔多鍾意冇奶嘅紅茶。

    最近飲緊好多薑茶。已經預備杯茶之後，时时都想加多啲薑。
    我有薑奶茶粉，所以預備杯茶唔係好難。
    我又有薑粉，所以加多啲薑喺杯茶都唔係好難。

    I am sorry for comment something at first coz my English isn’t pretty good, but hope you for understanding.

    The colour label:
    Yellow: Maybe Multiple meaning
    Green: what I suggested
    Orange: suggests to cancel
    Purple: Selective deletion
    Light blue: Simplified Chinese
    Underline: if it is speaking, not suggested this expression, although understand what you mean.

    The following is some own suggestions for reference only :

    我幾乎每日都飲啲茶。
    > not sure you mean “ 啲 “, in this case, this “ 啲 ” is “ different kinds of “ or “ a lots of ”.
    The former one meaning is suggested to correct as “我幾乎每日都飲唔同嘅茶”
    The latter one meaning is suggested to correct as “我幾乎每日都飲茶”

    最近飲緊好多薑茶。
    > “ Recently, (I am) drinking lots of Ginger tea”
    so that, it is also have two meanings I guess.
    If you mean” always drink” , you should cancel “緊“
    because it means “ ing “ form and you are keeping doing
    then you can say: 最近飲好多薑茶。

    飲<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">杯</s>紅茶
    > quantifier「杯」normally appear with amount.
    If it is a specific things: Give me a / the ginger tea. （Order tone & the amount is 1)
    it will appear 杯 same as 「比杯薑茶我」
    Amount is 2 & 3 : 「比兩杯薑茶我」「比三杯薑茶我」
    Habit or noun are suggested to change it be “飲紅茶”
    If we directly compare the part of speech, same as
    但 如果 飲紅茶... <=> However, if ( I ) drinking black tea...

    时时
    > Reminder: It is Simplified Chinese
    Traditional Chinese is “時時”
    Or you can also say: “ 成日 ”


    預備杯茶嘅我個方法
    > I am sorry to say it maybe not fluent.
    The problem probably is on the word orders.
    It can directly translate to “My way of prepared a cup of tea”and it is suggested to change it to” 我 預備杯茶 嘅方法“

    Moreover, the content is mainly described your habit of prepared a cup of tea. The “方法” maybe changed it to “習慣” is better?

    Hopefully help you

    To compare Mandarin and Cantonese in 2 case: Cantonese: 你 幾時 生日呀？ same as Mandarin: 你 甚麼時候 生日 呢？ Direct explain(wrong grammar): You when birthday ? You can also say: Mandarin: 你 生日 是 甚麼時候呢？ Same as Cantonese: 你生日 喺 幾時呀？ Direct explain(wrong grammar): Your birthday is when? The part of speech is corresponding!! One more example: Mandarin: 甚麼時候 是 你生日 呢？ Cantonese: 幾時 喺 你生日 呀？ Direct explain(wrong grammar): When is your birthday? In Chinese, they are all right, but it depends on how to arrange the part of speech. Th reason is that the main point in a sentence is different . Normally, it will strengthen the words according to the sound, stress and pause. It is an another question. In basically, the word order have different arrangements according your personal feelings or habits. However, one thing, that I am not sure, is all Mandarin sentence can correspond to Cantonese sentence. At least in this case can be corresponding to these them. Hopefully it can help you.
