== == Tea contains Teanine which dissolves the lining of your stomach and can result in stomach ulcers. Adding milk dramatically reduces this effect.
I believe the reason people put milk in tea is simply because they like the taste. Tea contains caffeine in the same quantities as coffee (more or less!). However, it also contains quantities of natural barbiturate-type substances (valium is a man-made barbiturate). These are bound up in the tea and do not get released into the body, passing straight through us and out in our urine. When milk or other fatty substances (ghee, yak butter etc.) are put in the tea the barbiturates bind to the fat and are then digested and absorbed by the body. The effect is to perk us up with the caffeines while at the same time relaxing us with the barbiturates. So milky tea provides a much better way of waking yourself up than a cup of coffee and will not impair your ability to go to sleep.

How do you make the best tea ever?
The main tips are: Put fresh water into the kettle. (Pre-boiled water loses its dissolved oxygen and some of its taste). Use boiling water. Use cold milk. If you use a pot, warm the pot first. Put the milk in the cup first (if you put the milk in afterward you can "scald" the milk). But if you make the tea in a mug (with a tea bag) wait for the tea to brew and remove the bag BEFORE adding milk (otherwise the milk reduces the temperature and stops the brewing). In places like Ceylon (Sri Lanka) where the tea is really fresh and strong, you can use warm milk; but the tea is very different from the drink we are used to in the West. This is because the tea that is exported in tea chests is months old and virtually stale by the time we get to use it.
