Tea with milk vs Tea without milk

i love both but tea with milk is surprisingly delicious

i used to do milk and sugar and it was like creamy heaven

yes with chai but black otherwise

drinking black tea w/o milk messes up my stomach

I read somewhere drinking tea with milk removes any benefits tea has. Make sense, look at the UK.

i don't drink tea for its benefits anyway ::shrugs::

I like milk in black tea, but only a tiny dash. Any other tea: green, jasmine, flavoured - always black no sugar.

Tea with milk is for WEAK PEOPLE WITH WEAK MINDS.

Black tea is the only way to go with that pure tea taste.

xxxpost: yeh, but black tea ain't especially nourishing to the body to start with, so little lost. obviously, it nourishes the soul. jus milk 2 sugars pls.

and none of that nasty-ass royboss tyvm. tea is not supposed to taste like hay.

Well...people with weak taste buds I'd say, and yeah, am one of those peoople...I don't like things with strong flavors usually...

Or would that mean my taste buds are too strong...??? Hmmm..haha

no that's complete bullshit, weak strong bla. it's a matter of preference is all =) i mean, i take my coffee black, and often drink tea w nothing in it. but sometimes milk is just the right thing to do.

Aja's back? Who knew!

Fuck that shit

Splash of milk and no sugar ta.

Something quite funny about Americans discussing tea.

Milk Tea - Classic or Dud?

Green tea with a bit of honey starts my day off...

a few weeks ago my mom & her husband were visiting and i had run out of tea, which my mom's husband drinks a lot of, and we were in a semi-specialty shop and so i just bought some Taylors of Harrogate english breakfast tea, which in fact isn't any more expensive than twinnings or whatever, but damn it is so good!! and strong, in a nice way.

i almost always put milk in black tea.
tho sometimes i go for lemon & honey, but this is an entirely different kind of tea experience.

The first time I ever drank tea was when I lived in the UK, so of course I drank it with milk. I kept up the practice when I moved back to the US but then gradually I stopped, as I came to like it better without.

Milk and sugar, please!

i had catnip tea yesterday! straight up (blargh can't imagine milk in it)
it's mellowing

but i still think black tea with milk & sugar is the most comforting tea around

catnip tea!! is it really effective?

it is nice
and it is a herb with herbal-medicinal properties
probably more awesome if you are a cat tho

I'll drink green or white tea without milk. But, I would never drink proper tea without milk and sugar.

Proper tea is theft.

^^^^
That's my favourite joke that doesn't involve necrophilia or pedophiles.

I'll sometimes have an earl grey with lemon, or a darjeeling but most black teas I just have to have milk.

thinking about the number of cups of tea i've abandoned over the years due the discovery of no milk makes me :(

My flatmate keep soya milk in the house for putting in tea, because he likes it. This is wrong on so many levels.

Due to the absence of milk, this proper tea is condemned

Tea with milk for me, with sugar. Now someone try starting a debate on whether the milk should go in first or second...

second!

If the tea is from a pot then the milk should go in first. If you are using a tea bag in a cup then the milk should go in second.

No need to bother, I know...Jel OTM.

Yeah, I've been told to put lemon in my tea to make it taste better...and I can see how it might help, but I was told this while drinking VANILLA HAZLENUT TEA....I don't know, but the combination of vanilla, hazlenut and milk sounds much more appealing than lemon...or maybe I'm just crazy...

But, I would never drink proper tea without milk and sugar.

I can't imagine drinking black tea without milk. It seems wrong somehow. In fact, I don't know that I've ever seen anyone have it that way.

Cheapo blends aren't nice without milk but a decent darjeeling or assam or english breakfast, mmmm. Course I spoil all this pretense at purity by heaping in the sugar.

Most of my tea-drinkin' is green tea, in which not a drop of milk will I sully (just a bit of honey). But whenever I drink earl grey or english breakfast, a touch of milk (and sugar) makes it soooo much better.

i've gotten super into tea with cream (english breakfast)

(no sugar)

i can't remember if/when i had tea with milk. not sure i have.

except chai.

mandarin orange tea w/ cream is an eye opener

otm, their assam tea is good stuff
