One of the most consumed hot drinks worldwide is tea.
While some tea drinkers like to sip their tea with milk first and others second, today we’ll discuss the scientific consensus on the matter.
On the occasion of World Tea Day, scientists recently claimed to have found the answer.
The best technique to make tasty tea, according to Professor Alan Mackie of the University of Leeds, is to pour milk over a tea bag before adding boiling water.
Alan Mackie contends that people who live in locations with hard water should begin drinking milk first. Research has shown that consuming milk first can help overcome hard water, an issue that affects more than half of Britons. It’s important to think about how milk is used.
Hard water’s minerals, according to research done in association with INTU, a producer of boiling water taps, limit the development of off-tasting chemicals.
According to Professor Mackie, milk proteins lower the mineral concentration of the water, adding flavour to the beverage, especially when using hard water.
He claimed that several tea constituents, particularly tannins, are responsible for the flavour.
