Does anybody drink their green tea with milk? I haven't tried it that
way, but something instinctively tells me that it is not a good way to
prepare it. I just got some green chai and I am tempted to try it
with mik, as all chai blends I have had in the past have been served
with lots of milk.

Responding to my own post

There appears to be plenty of discussion of this on the web, available
through Google. Some, but not as much concerning green chai, so if
anybody has any preferences they want to share, please do.

I have served the Green tea with the milk and it tastes really good.
Although not many people have ever tried that because it may seems a
little bit odd to them, however, my suggestion is if you would like to
try drinking green tea with milk, let's go to the bubble tea store
which usually operate by Chinese people, they do mix green tea with
milk in an excellent flavour.

Hope it helps. Enjoy.

Thank you, Star. Until yesterday, I had never had green tea with
milk. It was good. I added 1% milk and went a little easier on the
milk than I do with my red tea. Also, added a packet of sucralose to
the mix - enjoyed the combo. Sucalose, like nutrasweet does add a
slight aftertaste, which is unfortunate, but the tea flavor
nevertheless came through fine.

I haven't tried the green chai yet - probably will treat it the same
as other chai I have had by adding substantial milk and sweetener to
the brew.

Green tea with milk and sucralose?

I have tried sitting on my hands, counting to 10, taking deep breaths,
pretending I'm Dan Quayle, and banging my head repeatedly on my tatami.

However, ....

Desperate times call for desperate measures:

Apostate! Heathen! Whore of Babylon (sorry, I grew up in Texas)! Purveyor
of filth and venom and corruptor of sacraments!

I will consume green tea with milk and sucralose along with my blueberry
bagel, ritz cracker faux applie pie, and pastrami-on-white-with-a slice-
of-Kraft-single sandwich.

Is this the way to treat a divine herb of whom Lu Yu stated "Its liquor is
like the sweetest dew from Heaven" (never mind that he boiled it with
onions and pepper)?

You might as well spread peanut butter on the host.

Yours in theologic outrage,

Rick.

ROFL!

Though if you think blueberry bagels are sacriligious (spelling?), where
does that put cheese-and-jalapeno bagels? (no kidding). Oh wait. You
grew up in Texas. Hold it. You grew up in Texas and know from authentic
bagels like in Brooklyn (where I grew up)????

Listen, it could have been worse. The green tea might have been
adulterated with soy milk instead of the stuff from a cow. :-)

Thanks for a wonderful moment of levity.

I've never heard of the Dairy Isles. I've heard of the Canary Isles,
Hawaiian Isles, and many others. What ocean would we look closest to finding
them? Or is it the Isle of White (Wight)? What a difference an A makes ;-)

Brother Chappell -

Before you lay your right hand upon my forehead, to exorcise the
demons from my being for mentioning such blasphemy, and then
commanding me to rePENT for my sins, at least allow me to state my
defense:

Um, well, I didn't add *much* milk and sucralose to my green tea.

cv

Quantity doesn't signify to zealots:

"I just nibbled that apple."
"But rabbi, it was just a single bacon cheeseburger."
"But father, she was just a little girl."
[Okay, that last one might go over.]

Some behaviors are immoral due to principle rather than result.

If, in a new-found tome of Lovecraft, Nyarlathotep is observed taking
tea, it is certain to be green with milk and sucralose.

But repentance is possible. Take a candle and a feather and search
your entire dwelling, kneeling if necessary, for Cremora and
sucralose, expunging the vile substances. Use milk only for Cheerios.
If you are Pythagorean, forswear beans. Think twice before eating
tabuli.

It just got cold in Wisconsin. I'm switching to black, so milk is
permitted.

Thealogically,

Rick.

That is my favourite sentence containing both "Nyarlatothep" and
"sucralose" ever!

Um, I use soy milk. "Silk" creamer, at least. Not in green tea though :OD

I've tried that stuff. To me it tastes rather sweet. OTOH, regular
vanilla or chocolate Silk soymilk is yummy.

Hmm. Come to think of it, the creamer is all I've tried. I will have to
pick up some vanilla soymilk tomorrow.

What's the verdict on chocolate Silk with black tea? It seems wrong, and
yet...
