Do brits actually so retarded that they put milk in their tea?

>>37534848
Milk is good in black and chai teas. Considering Brits drink almost exclusively black, it sounds reasonable to me.

>>37534905
Can confirm. We still have some fucktards who ruin perfectly good tea with spoonfuls of sugar though.

>>37534905
"chai" tea
chai means tea
tea tea?
thefuck?

>>37535138
This. I like my tea to taste of delicious malty tea. Not sugar. Fucking gross.

I bet jimmy Savile and Fred west liked sugar in their team too

>>37535146
Not in English. For obvious reasons it's come to mean a type of tea. But you're not special for pointing this out

>>37535146
Chai is a type of tea in English, it just also means tea (in general) in other languages.

It's good too - has lots of spices in it and reminds me of Christmas.

>>37535252
>it and reminds me of Christmas
It makes you think of materialism and high suicide rates?

>>37535270
>It makes you think of materialism and high suicide rates?
I think it's more the aroma of cinnamon and ginger

>>37534905
so it wouldn't work in green tea?

>>37534848
>Do brits actually so retarded that they put milk in their tea?

wew

Fun fact: During the great depression Brits drunk hot tea to warm up from the freezing cold, also to kill their hunger pains between their tiny meals of soup and bread. The milk helps make the tea more filling.

This has been, history for robots. Thanks for reading.

>>37535291
No, milk doesn't work in green tea. It just makes the water go all funny and taste horrible.

>>37535291
It works if you like the taste of shit.

>>37535291
Yeah it works, but since Black tea has a different flavor it pairs okay.

Try high quality matcha with the whisk if you want to taste creamy green tea.

>>37534848
I've always wondered this to.
I tried a dash in my Earl Greyer once and it just seemed to ruin the whole thing.
Am i not suppose to use whole? Do i use creme? Whats the dillio homeslices?

Only nu-males drink hot tea.

Alphas drink cold-brewed tea.

>>37535443
Only put milk in black tea or chai. Milk doesn't go well with any other kind of tea.

>>37535494
I bet you drink that southern shit full of sugar. Iced tea is okay, but seriously fuck sweet tea. If I want sugar, I'll drink a soda, not diabetic cat piss.

>>37535618
Is Earl Greyer somehow not black? I'm comfy in bed or i'd snap a photo but theres a giant black box across the bottom of the label that says "Black Tea".
Does any milk work? Do i have to whip it or something?

'Do brits actually so retarded that they put milk in their tea?'
'Do brits actually so retarded'
great grammar bro, english do so retareded right???/??

>>37535641
I am not talking about iced tea, my dude.

Just tea bags soaked in ice cold water. No sugar. Hot beverages are not refreshing.

>tfw you lost 4kg just from switching from soda to cold tea

>>37535696
I dunno what Earl Greyer is. I thought it was a typo for just Earl Grey.

>>37535707
>tea bags
Jesus Christ.

Besides, that is still iced tea. The one with sugar is called sweet tea. It depends when/where you drink it. Sometimes hot tea is appropriate, sometimes iced tea is.

>>37535728
Its pretty good.

>Sometimes hot tea is appropriate
Yeah when you have the flu

>>37535321
but the Brits have been drinking tea like fiends for hundreds of years

>>37535146
For historical reasons english call tea "chai" and call the spiced animal feed they were swindled with in the 17-18th century "tea".

>>37535443
it doesn't work in teas that have any additional flavor besides tea

>>37535804
>Our exceptional blend of this classic tea uses a superior, light Ceylon leaf combined with top-grade, pure bergamot oil. Recognized as the best tasting Earl Grey available
I dunno why they call it black leaf, when it's an Earl Grey. Sure they use black leaf to make it, but I don't think you can make Early Grey with any other kind of tea.

Anyway, black tea is good with milk (literally just pour it in, no need to whisk or anything). Earl Grey is not, as it was literally made to mimic the taste of Chinese teas.

>>37535807
Or in a cold morning/night, or like literally any other time you'd enjoy a hot beverage.

>>37535904
>enjoying hot beverages
Guess I am not white enough to enjoy that

>>37535862
it works pretty well in fennel tea too

>>37535862
>>37535894
Think the bergamot oil is getting in the way then? I got a one thats a small mix of just black leaves i like i'll try some in that.

>>37535940
Do you not like coffee or hot chocolate?

>>37535940
wtf, i hate brown people now

>>37535978
Coffee is disgusting unless there's 80% milk in it and cold. Hot chocolate is disgusting, too. I prefer ice cold chocolate milk.

It just seems unnatural to drink hot liquids. Our ancestors usually drank cold water from random streams.

>>37536389

>>37536468
its a freezer not a counter, second hand tho so dont known how it got scuffed up

It took me a while, but I finally graduated to taking tea without sugar. I still add a slice of lemon, though.

Only in black teas. I wouldn't dream of putting milk in green or fruit teas.

>>37534848
Brits put milk in their tea cups before the hot water to keep the fine china from cracking due to rapid temperature change. The tradition of milk in tea continued even after this became unnecessary.

>>37534848
Putting milk in your tea makes it taste nicer, add two teaspoons of sugar and it tastes amazing.

Whole milk is the best choice often, how much you put in is up to you but I like to make sure it's a nice caramel colour.
