Not really anders - most herbal/ green / organic etc are to be without milk - plus IMO.
My daughter drinks loads if it - I drink herbal - dragon fruit etc tea & it's best milk free. Spiced Indian tea/ Tesco's chocolate tea/ M&S' spiced/Indian tea work both with whitener &ilk / the former the best IMO. |

Twinning's are good for teas without milk - dragon fruit, rhubarb etc - the ones with the tea bag 'tags' are better IMO.
![]() Tescos' chocolate tea is really nice with milk or whitener. |

Try it, you might like it. And if you don't you've lost nowt.
In this life different people like different things, after all. |

No. You can have it with lemon and/or honey though.

We have green tea all the time, we usually buy the green tea with lemon and also put a slice of lemon in it. I have tried some of the others (orange blossom, pomegranite) but they are not nice. I am a coffee drinker and wouldn't touch normal tea but lemon green tea is quite refreshing.

It's so delicate, I don't think milk suits it, but it's up to the drinker.
I was in a hotel last week, and you picked your own tea bags at breakfast. I tried an Assam tea which was gorgeously strong, and definitely needed milk. |

Green teas and most fruit/herbal teas are horrible with milk. Just about the only exception is Chai tea which is robust enough to stand up to the milk.
Just try a few a see which you like. My favourite is a ginger and lemon one. |

Green tea with milk is not as strange as you might think. I wouldn't add milk to the supermarket tea bag types but it's perfectly fine to use the green tea powder or "matcha" rather than tea leaves. Milky matcha drinks are quite popular in Japan.
Starbucks in the US makes Green Tea Latte and Green Tea Frappuccinos with milk based on this. http://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks...reen-tea-latte There are ready made versions available, where you just add hot water to make a milky green tea drink. They are surprisingly nice! http://grocerygems.blogspot.co.uk/20...im-matcha.html |
