This is a British instance and we love our tea.

Looking past the sacrilege some people see in adding milk to black tea, what do milkers use in theirs?

After trying half a dozen milk-replacement products over the year, I've found Barrista-spec oat milk is the winner.
In fact, we've now ditched buying cow milk entirely.

I wholeheartedly agree with the "Barrista Oat Milk".

I find it easier to clean my frother as well.

What’s wrong with Atom Heart Mother? 🥲

It was the most iconic cow that came to mind.

I use coconut milk for black tea and hazelnut milk for coffee

I've settled on Tesco Oat, couldn't get on with the others. Even though it's probably made by one of the big companies that supply the others big supermarkets. Have tried pretty much all of them but settled on oat as least climate impact.

My wife can't get on with any non cow milks in tea so we've settled on White Tea (Clipper) as no milk is needed.

I keep a box of Assam for me to drink as a 'proper' cup of tea. Or I'll have Earl Grey, as I do at work as we don't have a fridge and again no milk needed.

Isn't the definition of black tea just tea that you've decided not to add milk to? Or do you mean fancy teas that you don't normally add milk to?

Black tea is oxidized tea leaves as a means of preservation. I can see it being confused with black coffee but I am pretty sure the tea came first. If it helps, it is called red tea in china due to the red color of the tea.

Fucking waste of pigeon space.
