ahem. what about bubble tea, or green tea lattes? very popular with some people. green tea can be adapted into all sorts of tastes, and though i don't personally like milk in my green tea, i know someone who sometimes does. it's certainly not traditional, but why judge? there are no rules to drinking tea unless you want there to be.rabbit wrote:It probably isn't curtling, but just doesn't taste right being as you AREN'T supposed to drink green tea with milk at ALL!

Ok, found this at this site, in the first part (of two parts) in the last section at the very bottom of the page:
I second John. Is there any fruit (especially citrus) in the tea? If so, that should make it curdle. That's one reason not to mix milk and orange juice when making smoothies.Curdling of milk occurs when the airborne bacteria converts the lactose (milk sugars) into lactic acid as when some lime juice or acidic food item is added to the milk or vice versa, the milk starts curdling. Higher the temperature, more rapidly the curdling occurs.
Bubble tea isn't made with real milk, I would venture the same for most lattes as they usually use powdery mixes.sippy cup wrote: ahem. what about bubble tea, or green tea lattes? very popular with some people. green tea can be adapted into all sorts of tastes, and though i don't personally like milk in my green tea, i know someone who sometimes does. it's certainly not traditional, but why judge? there are no rules to drinking tea unless you want there to be.

sure you can add milk to GREEN TEA FLAVOURING (i.e. green tea laté)... real green tea with milk just tastes like milk... I'm sure there ARE people in the world who drink green tea with milk, but then again there are people in the world who smoke it too...sippy cup wrote:ahem. what about bubble tea, or green tea lattes? very popular with some people. green tea can be adapted into all sorts of tastes, and though i don't personally like milk in my green tea, i know someone who sometimes does. it's certainly not traditional, but why judge? there are no rules to drinking tea unless you want there to be.rabbit wrote:It probably isn't curtling, but just doesn't taste right being as you AREN'T supposed to drink green tea with milk at ALL!

Agreed. This and the other one was making me think of something and then I saw this article on Wikipedia. Watch out on very tense threads (though the law applies to Usenet groups)!!!!! Here's the Wiki article and here's a related FAQ about it. It's called Godwin's Law, for those of you who know it already.

Please, let's not go that far...
