I have tried milk or cream in my tea; but just plain don't prefer it. Mother

used milk in her tea often.

Humorously- or not- I have never been comfortable with drinking cows milk.

As a child I simply did not drink it for the dumb reason kids give " I don't

like it. " It was/is my olfactory senses objecting to the smell.

But as I got older, I kept thinking " why would a human drink a cows milk?

Rats, dogs, cats, pigs, and a host of other creatures give milk to their

young. We wouldn't drink rats milk. We wouldn't drink dogs milk. Why them

would a human drink cows milk...sincerely? "

When my son was young he was breast fed, as I. It is apparently very

beneficial for immunity and other reasons for a newborn critter to receive

his mothers milk. That makes sense to me.

But to drink the milk of another critter just doesn't seem appropriate to

me.

Having seen how dirty nasty cows can be in pens, and then having read how

many PPMs of such tastiness as " puss " is allowed in milk didn't help but to

reinforce my personal detestation of bovine milk.

( If you really want to be seen as odd, talk to folks about such things and

note their reactions, lol.)

More seriously, tea wakes me up far better than coffee did; and I don't have

the sick stomach that coffee produces.

In the evening tea calms me more effectively and yet gently; more than a

glass of wine.

On a c-c-coooold winter morning, hot tea is far more invigorating and

warming than coffee, and without the bad breath or bad aftertaste...with or

without milk.

RE: Black Tea - Lipton's

Ditto with mwood except that I would allow the

concoction to settle for 3 minutes than the 5 to 10

minutes. You destroy the flavonoids over time.

Secondly, mwood, I wish to know if you add milk or

not?
