I drink a fair amount of tea, and I never understood why people put milk in their tea. Can you explain what you like about the sensation of milk in tea? I am genuinely curious because this seems to be a near-universal thing in Britain, and I just... don't get it.

Milk makes tea far less astringent. It also binds with some other compounds making them less active too, but the astringency is an easy point to understand. https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/comments/mb1tku/tempering_astringency_in_black_tea/grvmr3u/ https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/comments/mb1tku/tempering_astri...
