If you have to add milk to it to enjoy it, then you like drinking milk. This brought to you by the lactose intolerant gang.
But in reality I actually love a good jasmine green tea, nothing added. Black is fine with some sugar.
Yes, I do also like drinking milk.
I sometimes even add some tea to my milk.
I call it "Tilk"
I don't like milk in my tea (my go to black tea is earl grey) because it takes away from the flavour. But I love chai. So the trick for me is just that the tea just needs a good brew in the milk, not just the water (also I guess, adding more spices to it is also necessary).
But my earl grey? I had to stop using sugar because it sets off my acid reflux, so now I use maple syrup :D
Honestly forgot about chai. And I think people took my original comment a little too seriously, lol. Nothing at all against putting milk in your drinks or not. I’m just jealous because my lactose free milk costs twice the price.
I chuckled, because I am 100% a tea snob with strong opinions on how my tea should be made even though I also believe you like what you like. Exaggerating my opinions for laughs brings me joy IRL. It didn't come off as serious to me.
Sometimes I enjoy a very strong, tannin-y black tea, with just a spot of honey and a dash of milk to round out the harshness.
This is to say I add two teabags to boiling hot water, stir it with a spoonful of honey, leave it for a few minutes, then put just a hint of milk so it's not too hot to drink anymore.
Put when I specifically want good tea, I'll make ~80C water (3 parts boiling, 1 part lukewarm ~20 degrees = 80c), then put a nice wulong tea in there to steep for a while.
No honey, no milk. Maybe a few drops of lemon juice on rare occasions to switch it up a bit.
