Default VAT on tea?

Yesterday at hospital I went to the café for a cup of tea.
I was given a cup of hot water and a tea bag, I had to provide the
labour to make said cup of tea.
Just wondering if I should have to pay VAT on it?
The cost of a cup of hot water and a tea bag was £1.70


Well that didn't work!
Fed up with paying as much for the half of lemonade as for the half of
Guinness in a Guinness shandy I thought I'd buy a half of Guinness and
half a pint of lemonade.
result ...
The lemonade came as a 14 oz glass and cost more than the half of Guinness.
Another rip-off.
