    The only thing I ever add to green tea is the occasional honey. Never heard of adding milk to it...

    You definitely shouldn't add milk to green tea.

    If you mean health-wise, a little milk isn't going to hurt you. Just be sure to log it.

    To be fair, I've never tried it with milk.

    Milk + English Breakfast or Earl Grey = Win
    Milk + Green Tea = WTF

    I like it with or without, but when you add milk it does look a little strange.

    its basically a green tea latte... i drink green tea with milk often... i think it's up to you wether or not you use milk... the milk (when using skim or nut milks or any other low cal milk) won't add many cals and the protein is a plus

    add fresh squeezed lemon and splenda or honey. i use lemon and honey.

    milk is best for darker or fruitier teas.

    LOOOOL guys! Just a question :) I'm not drinking it with milk though :tongue:

    Because i know milk would be odd. Guess mum saw it as something similar to yellow lipton teabags which goes well with milk.

    Tastes nice tho i added one table spoon of sugar

    Milk + English Breakfast or Earl Grey = Win
    Milk + Green Tea = WTF

    Slight amendment:
    Bubble tea (green tea + milk) = win
    Matcha + milk = 50/50% win
    Genmaicha + milk = possibly

    Typical green tea = #fail

    *typical green tea flavor notes are herbal or grassy, not my favorite flavors to pair with milk. And typically, you only bre green tea for a bit, with cooler water, so the flavor is much more delicate.

    Green tea at the bubble tea place is always oversteeped (intentionally) so it can handle the milk. Genmaicha is green tea with toasted rice so it tastes nutty.

    I drink my green tea plain. I love the grassy smell and taste.

    Supposedly milk negates the antioxidant benefits of the green tea.

    I drink all hot tea with milk. Nowadays I drink green tea with splenda and a tbsp of almond milk. I don't think that little amount can affect the green tea nutritionally, but I like the subtle flavor. I just like the taste...

    Some people eat or drink things just because they enjoy them.
