When the weather gets cooler, most people turn to hot drinks to get extra warm.
Undoubtedly, tea is among the favorite drinks, due to its variety of taste and health benefits.
One of the countries known for the high consumption of tea in the world is Britain, where this drink is deeply rooted in tradition and lifestyle.
But why do the British drink tea with milk?
Their custom of adding milk to tea dates back to the 18th century.
At that time tea was an expensive drink and since disposable glasses often cracked from the heat of the tea, they found a solution.
First, they poured milk into a cup and then added tea.
Cold milk cools the tea enough to prevent the glass from breaking and at the same time reduces its bitterness.
Being extremely valuable, families who could not afford large amounts of tea added a larger amount of milk, while wealthy families tended to do the opposite.
If you are thinking of trying this variant of tea, you should know that first the milk is poured into the glass and then the tea. Thus, the taste will be better because the milk, reaching the temperature of the tea, distributes the flavor evenly.
And if you add milk to the tea, you will cool the tea and it may not taste as good./AW/
