- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29Wow, your username is named after tea as well. You're very hardcore, huh? :)
- earlgreyrooibos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27For me, it depends on the tea. Most black teas need milk for me. But I would never use it in a green, white, or oolong. Wrecks the flavor.
- fuzzmello, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23thanks for reminding us again aunt edna.
- Gryffydd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17If he were hardcore he wouldn't need milk ;)
- TimmyGUNZ, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21I can't drink tea with milk. I don't know what it is, but something about the idea grosses me out. I do love me lots of sugar though!
- DarkEnder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14And tea is wonderful.... if you're an Englishman.
Vodka is wonderful.... if you're Russian.
Chocolate is wonderful.... if you're a woman.
Maple syrup is wonderful.... if you're a Canadian. - violentvinyl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Vodka is wonderful.... if you're a victim of a horrible accident and need both anesthetic and sterile tools.
Chocolate is wonderful.... if you're a young man dating one of the many women who find it to be an aphrodisiac.
Maple syrup is wonderful.... if you're a lumberjack, not so much if you're a pancake. - HoleInTheGround, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Based on a experimental sample size of .......drum roll......roll.....roll...........16 !!!!!! (yes just 16) women.
Still think this is a significant story?
Buried. - supermatty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Don't you worry about Planet Express. Let me worry about blank.
- 88Chevy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9ha! i drink about a gallon and a half of milk a week, i totally love the stuff. though i will have to try this tea business.
- TheAkolyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7A gallon and a half of milk every week is not much. What is that, 1-2 tall glasses a day?
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9This is nothing less than a German attack on the British institution of strong tea with a splash of milk. What the hell do the Germans and their "16 test subjects" know about tea anyway?
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Soy is not milk, stop calling it that.
- trghpy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9@sockpuppets
Tell stores to stop stocking it next to milk, or maybe tell the manufacturers to stop calling it milk.
The product is called Soy Milk whether its Milk or not doesn't matter.
You're more than welcome to start calling it soy juice, but don't be surprised if nobody knows what you're talking about. Not to mention the thought of putting Soy Juice on my cerial has far less apeal than Soy Milk. - whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -2/+8And tea is wonderful.... if you're a _____.
Feel free to fill in all the answers that make sense and follow alicam's well reasoned statement.
Next up:
Vodka is wonderful.... if you're a _____.
Chocolate is wonderful.... if you're a _____.
Maple syrup is wonderful.... if you're a _____. - cliffzdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6To get more specific, how many studies a year are pronounced by the media to be concrete "fact", when they really simply point to a conclusion that may support a hypothesis with significantly more study? Mind you I drink tea every day but very little dairy.
- dukeinlondon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5British almost alway drink it with milk. But since when would they do anything healthy anyway ?
- garyh84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6This is just a plan to make the British go crazy..
- JesusIsSatan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4OMG, are you serious? 16? Any researcher or even college student taking statistics 101 would tell you that's not a sample size even worth analyzing. I flipped a coin and it came up heads 10 out of 16 times. Therefore, physics favors heads. ;)
- stargatesteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4only problem: we realy dont want ALL the other living stuff, too. That and have you ever tried to pour non-homogenized milk on cheerios? It realy doesn't work so well.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4trghpy, it may be called Soy Milk in your neck of the woods, but here in Toronto, Natura Soy Beverage has no mention of the word "milk" on the carton.
- vagarach, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Soy has its own problems, especially when consumed in the processed form that you buy at the shops. I think the main idea here is drinking tea with no additives, no milk/sugar/soy milk/etc. I add milk to only certain teas that I drink, for ex. Irish breakfast tea, or when I make tea in the Indian style (chai tea as it is referred to). Earl Grey, green tea and such are best enjoyed with no additives!
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Unless you're drinking Chai, I cannot fathom putting milk into tea. It's such a light, simple beverage. Adding milk to it would make it so heavy...
@JesusIsSatan: You're probably drinking crappy tea (ie. tea that comes in a bag), or steeping the tea too long if it tastes bitter. If you buy whole-leaf tea and let it steep in still water for no longer than 3 minutes, it's not bitter at all. I buy the shamshiri earl gray (by the pound) from the local persian market... No sugar, no milk, and it's got a somewhat sweet taste to it. - gypsi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4there are different teas and some can be mixed with milk to good effect.
- LeFrenzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Man this sucks, I love drinking tea & milk.
- Kenzan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is such B.S.
Next week it'll be:
Milk with tea reverses aging!
(You know, just like blueberries)
Feh! - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What if you drink both milk and tea, but not at the same time?
Ah, nevermind. Should've read the article more carefully.
"If you want to drink tea to have the beneficial health effects you have to drink it without milk. That is clearly shown by our experiments," - DarthTater, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3bollocks !
- JesusIsSatan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow, I've been drinking 4 cups of tea daily for years...WITH MILK. Not much, but enough to kill the acidity and bitter taste of the tea. So I wasted all that tea drinking for nothing.
- jdepp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3to follow
Tea without milk is mingin' : Study - theantidote, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Damn. I guess I'll switch back to Green Tea in the mornings because I can't handle Earl Grey without a little milk. The one I have is very bitter. Maybe if I set my Zarafina to light strength tea instead of medium I may be able to drink it.
Either way it doesn't matter, I just got a sampler of Casablanca Twist from Adagio and I can't wait to try it tomorrow morning. It smells awesome. It's green tea mixed with mint and the other people on Adagio apparently like it. I'm not much of a green tea guy, I like only the really light ones, so this should work well for me. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Im gonna go against the grain here. I like milk in my tea.
- Ryetronics, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9I'm glad I use my vanilla soy milk!
- hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this might explain milk / nomilk preferences...
"But no two tongues taste alike; each tongue is genetically different.
Approximately 25 per cent of people are what Roizen calls 'supertasters' and they typically don't like vegetables.
Another 25 per cent are 'undertasters' and they normally like a lot of sugary food.
The other 50 per cent of the population are in the middle.
"So by identifying which you are, by the test we give you, you can in fact decide what you need to do with your diet to help you control taste from the tongue," Roizen said."

.(posted this in 15 foods thread as well) - StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2earl grey rooibos is my favorite kind of rooibos!
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Bah, milk ruins a good tea anyway :/
- mokeyjoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I never thought regular Indian/English black tea had many health benefits anyway. I know green tea does but you'd have to be mental to drink that with milk.
Rather like coffee I don't drink tea for it's health benefits anyway, I drink it because I like it. At least it isn't bad for you like everything else seems to be these days. - drbroccoli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And that was my science fair project.
- rowanjl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I go through about six liters a week. And I don't drink tea.
- Spetz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Never had milk in my tea or coffee. Not all good news as i am addicted to coffee, moreso than tea, and the caffeine probably isn't doing me a whole lot of good either. :)
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"I have never heard of anyone around here drinking milk with tea."
Thats because its primarily the British way to drink tea, and not the American way. That may be because most American teas are too weak to drink with milk, whereas most British teas need milk because they're too strong and bitter without. - pinetree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why does the next page link for this article use JavaScript? Can't center-click to open in a new tab. Very annoying.
- icebreakerx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There've been studies that indicate that milk damages the positive effects in all camellia sinensis based teas in Japan for years. Something to do with the catechins and polyphenols.
- Antz0rz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good thing I like my tea double strength with no milk.
- Canthros, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's because you're a communist.^W
I like milk in my chai, but I generally prefer my tea black (i.e. sans milk and sugar). Douglas Adams professed to preferring to drink Earl Grey tea with milk, and I think that's both nasty and offense against tea (or a strange combination, at least). Whatever. To each their own. - dtfinch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dairy kills. Believing those "it does a body good" commercials brought us where we are today.
- gamechic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Milk:calf as Breastmilk:alicam. The non-pasteurized/homogenized kind of course.
- seoimage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What about Green Tea? I guess green tea drinkers do not drink it with milk, mostly.
- cru99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I figured this was the case, it makes sense.
I just started drinking tea regularly, as opposed to coffee. - decemberfall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's awesome news for me, i love tea and I'm allergic to milk... this post is a match made in heaven for me! dugg!
