Hi~
I never try to add milk into tea when I drink tea. What kind of tea will you choose to add some milk to make it taste more smooth? Will it turn into milk tea? And question is coming, Milk in First or Teas in First? Debate continues about whether to put milk in the cup before pouring or after. Originally milk was always added before the tea to prevent the hot teas from cracking the delicate bone china cups. Tea experts agree with this tradition but also state, pouring milk into hot tea after pouring alters the flavour of the tea. I'm really curious what kind of flavor is it, and you?
Hi Janet,
I drink black teas with milk, and have for about 20 years. My grandma being British, she introduced me to drinking tea "English style" -- which is with milk and sugar. Specifically the steps are to pour the hot water over the tea bag and stir. Then remove the tea bag, and add milk and sugar to your desired taste. Stir and enjoy!
I like to make it just a little sweet and add enough milk to be a close to a warm caramel color. Sometimes I find black teas can leave a dryness on the tongue once consumed, but when I add the milk it adds a silkiness to the texture and flavor and I don't have that same dryness.
Give it a try and see what you think!
