Adding tea and milk is not entirely equivalent to traditional milk tea, but it can be seen as a simplified version of homemade milk tea. Milk tea usually requires a specific tea to milk ratio and may contain added sugar or other ingredients. The way of drinking tea with milk has a certain rationality in terms of nutritional combination. The tea polyphenols in tea can bind with milk protein, which may reduce some antioxidant activity, but can alleviate the irritation of tea on the gastrointestinal tract. Whole milk can supplement calcium and vitamin D, and when paired with black tea, it can improve the taste. Attention should be paid to avoiding drinking on an empty stomach to prevent tannic acid and protein coagulation from affecting digestion. People with lactose intolerance can choose low lactose milk or plant-based milk as alternatives.

Traditional milk tea is often professionally prepared and has a high sugar and fat content. Commercially available milk tea may contain additives such as milk essence and essence, which may lead to excessive calories after long-term drinking. Homemade tea with milk can control the addition of sugar, and it is recommended to use low sugar or sugar free formulas. People with gastrointestinal sensitivity should avoid mixing strong tea with cold milk to prevent discomfort. Special groups such as pregnant women and patients with high blood lipids need to consult a nutritionist to adjust their proportions.

Tea and milk should be consumed in moderation as daily drinks, and it is recommended not to exceed 500 milliliters per day. Prioritize high-quality tea leaves and pasteurized milk to avoid repeated heating that can damage nutrition. Adding a small amount of cinnamon or ginger powder can enhance flavor and reduce dependence on refined sugar. Paired with whole wheat biscuits or nuts, it can slow down the rate of blood sugar rise. Long term drinkers should regularly monitor bone density and blood lipid indicators to maintain dietary diversity.
