Many lovers and connoisseurs of tea aroma and taste consider it a blasphemy to mix tea with milk or cream, as they do, for example, in England. From the perspective of a true fan and connoisseur of tea, drinking tea with milk is equivalent to spoiling tea, suppressing its bouquet.In fact, speaking of taste, sugar changes, spoils the flavor of the tea, and changes its specificity to a greater degree than milk.
It turns out that a mix of tea and milk is a highly nutritious, easily digestible by a human body drink possessing stimulating, and firming qualities. It is known that milk contains over 100 different nutrients essential to man. However, rich unfermented milk sometimes poorly digests by stomach, which explains the desire of man to eat increasingly processed and fermented dairy products.
Tea extremely successfully "corrects" the shortcomings of milk, making its assimilation easier for a body. Furthermore, vegetable fats and proteins contained in the tea solution, mixed with animal fats and milk proteins, make very nutritious, exclusively useful for man fatty-protein complex, not mentioning the fact that a rather impressive enlistment of vitamins and stimulating substances is added to it.
Along with that, milk soothes the effects of caffeine and other alkaloids, while the tea tissues make the gastric mucosa less sensitive to the negative phenomena of fermentation of rich milk. So tea helps milk, and milk helps tea, tea and milk form a perfect healthily-nutrient mixture, while specific aroma and flavor tea qualities are by no means eliminated.
All types of tea can be used with milk, especially black and green, both pekoes and pressed. Experts agree that green tart tea mixed with black tea is especially good with milk. It is best to use a mixture of tea and not boiled but raw pasteurized milk, warmed up to 40-60C.
Tea with milk is a good preventive measure. This beverage is especially useful at kidney and heart diseases, as well as a tonic means at dystrophy, depletion of central nervous system and polyneuritis.
However, for a completely healthy person, whether for an athlete or a scholar, a strong, sweet tea with milk is an excellent drink, especially in the morning or after an overstress.
