What is the purpose of milk in tea?!


Question:

What is the purpose of milk in tea?

I know it's common to add milk to tea or coffee, but what is the purpose?


Answers:
It makes it taste better.

sub for cream, to make it smooth and creamy.

To make your coffee creamier and sweeter...

i can't drink milk becuase i well get really sick.

I do it for taste and to take the bitterness away....

Makes it more mellow, and reduces any bitterness, and reduces some of the caffeine and tannin

to cool it and make it creamy

same purpose as coffee

To make the tea creamier!

to make your taste buds go 'yum'

this is a British tradition, the purpose is to give the boring old tea a creamy, new flavour

I put half and half in my coffee to make it creamier and to take the bitter edge off it (people at work sometimes make it too strong). But I've never understood why people put it in tea. Tea is already so thin it's like having a cup of watered down milk, which is gross.

a different taste, maybe? for those who love milk or who doesn't like too strong a tea taste...

i like tea with or without milk. usually black tea needs milk because without it it is too thick and it tastes too strong (i'm assuming there's no sugar) :D

to spoil every goodness in tea.

it makes it easier to drink for me..it makes it more creamy and it kills the strong coffee taste
