Did you know that tea with milk offers us different benefits and is a good substitute for coffee?.
Thanks to tea we can enjoy different, natural and totally healthy flavours. In addition, this combination of ingredients is a classic in the European world. It combines the creaminess of milk with the smoothness of the tea that we like the most.
The benefits of tea with milk
- It has a clear satiating effect.
- It helps whiten teeth: this is because a milk protein, casein, binds to the tannins present in tea, which can stain teeth. This binding limits the effects of tannins and leaves teeth whiter.
- In addition, we get an antioxidant effect, since most teas contain polyphenols. These prevent cells from aging at high speed. This component also generates anti-inflammatory and antibiotic effects.
- Along with this, we take advantage of the calcium present in the milk itself, which is essential to keep the bones in good condition. The presence of this mineral in our daily diet helps our body to prevent osteoporosis. We also take care of our teeth, since they need calcium to maintain their resistance.
What types of tea with milk can we find?
Luckily for our palate, we have different types of tea with milk within our reach.
There are as many options as types of teas on the market, so we just have to choose the one we like best and mix it to get some good results. However, it never hurts to offer some ideas for the most indecisive.
- Black tea with milk, due to its theine content, is a great substitute for coffee, so much so that we will hardly notice the difference just by looking at the cup, and it has numerous healthy properties. We can resort to a delicious Black Tea Chai Latte with traditional chai spices or opt for Irish Cream Black Tea, an Irish delicacy that accompanied with milk or vegetable drink, will highlight its character and will give it a harmonious creaminess with a toasted finish.
- Another irresistible option would be to enjoy a delicious red tea with milk, as is the case of Pu Erh Vanilla, a rich and sweet red tea with bits of vanilla perfect to enjoy with vegetable milk, or the energizing red tea Slim PuccinoTea, a mixture of black tea and red tea which cappuccino lovers love. In this way, we combine the irresistible and earthy flavors of a delicious red tea, very digestive and purifying, with the creaminess of milk, in addition to achieving a different tonality in this drink.
