What Nut Milk tastes Good In Tea

cuddlesmama — Sat, 25 Jan 2020 11:21:13 GMT

I am gradually giving up cow's milk. Anyone have an alternative that also would taste good in tea? I have tried Almond milk and didn't like it in tea but liked it in smoothies and in cooking. But to find one that tastes good in tea is hard. I have heard of Rice Milk but rice isn't good for you it is known to have arsenic in it. Any recommendations would be helpful.

I've been using in my coffee a product called Nut Pods, it's dairy free, unsweetened, whole 30 approved, it's not bad...I've found in vanilla, hazelnut and a few other flavors. You can find it at Amazon or some select stores.

ANY kind of milk in tea is a sacrilege! Lemon or sugar, or possibly honey, if you must, but milk, NEVER!

I actually like unsweetened almond milk in my tea and when I do get a cappuccino I also have them use almond milk. I do not like the flavored almon milks - even vanilla.

Try oat milk. I tried it but I thought it was "thinner" than almond milk - maybe like more watery? It could have been the brand I bought - not sure as it was my only oat milk purchase. I have also had oat milk in cappuccino and liked that. Milk in black teas is the way the English drink it I believe!

@cuddlesmama @Any of them will work once your taste buds adjust.You are used to the taste of milk right now..maybe try skim milk for awhile so you will adjust to less milk flavor.

100%

but I don't care for the slightly almond taste the Califa gives to my tea so I save my real milk for tea

Ones that have a higher % of fat content:

Soy & Oat, are 2 favorites.

Oat have a hint of oat taste (obviously) but Soy is very neutral.

And oat can be easily made in your kitchen.

And Rice?

Rice Milk is fine. Are you going to drinks multiple gallons of

rice milk at each sitting? Prob not.
And the danger-danger of arsenic is rice is over-exaggerated.

Rice milk w/ tea might be the best due to the delicate nature of tea...

just try & see.

Hi There,

I am a big tea drinker and I switched away from milk in my tea about 15 years ago.

It takes a while to get used to a new milk, but you will !

First of all : do you sweeten your tea ? What kind of fat content do you currently use?

Most Nutmilks are sweetened, some are flavored, there also are non-dairy creamers available that give you the mouthfeel and taste of a higher fat milk / cream.

My personal choice is an organic, unsweetened soymilk, but on occasion I will drink almondmilk and enjoy that. Rice and oatmilks taste a bit watery to me, but in a pinch I might consider them.

Good luck finding a pleasant alternative, and know it will never be the same but it can be equally satisfying.

A lot have mentioned Soy Milk but I always thought Soy was associated with breast cancer.

I have tried unsweetened almond milk in tea and didn't like it.

@cuddlesmama

Soy is NOT associated with breast cancer.

Never has been.

Never will be.

In fact, the Phytoestrogens in soy are beneficial for the PREVENTION

of breast cancer. It's the animal foods which are cancer causing.

@Buffalogal47 What? Assam teas are wonderful with a splash of milk--as are many breakfast blends! They were grown for and blended for that little rich bit of milk.

🤔Tea with milk a "sacrilege" @Buffalogal47? LOL You'd best get on the telly to inform Queen Elizabeth, who takes HERS that way. (So do I.)

Thanks for the laugh.

@sidsmom, you think you're going to spout alarmist bunk lol, (this time, in a Tea thread *sigh*) then say, "back to tea" without a response? Not where this little girl is concerned.

First of all, chuck the blanket, "It's animal products that cause cancer." That's simply ridiculous. 'Nuff said.

As for soy PREVENTING cancer, that's equally ridiculous. Soy (and I'm not referring to mostly water and additive-laden soy "milk") in forms such as tofu, which I eat, is a good source of protein. But it doesn't PREVENT cancer. Oh, and if I had breast cancer, particularly estrogen-receptive breast cancer, medical professionals would probably advise me to continue eat it IN MODERATION.

So stop with the blanket, unfounded nonsense. The cause(s) and prevention of diseases aren't as completely settled as you'd like to think.

@cuddlesmama I too tried that Califia brand and hated it. While I prefer unsweetened almond milk, it did take a bit to get used to it. It's nice that several here have offered up their suggestions. I think you just will need to try a few of them to find the one that works for you. Let us know what your favorite ends up being!

Re: What Nut Milk tastes Good In Tea

AuntG — Sun, 26 Jan 2020 12:12:49 GMT

A tsp. of almond milk is all I'd use, but generally I don't add anything to tea.

Re: What Nut Milk tastes Good In Tea

Buffalogal47 — Sun, 26 Jan 2020 14:00:23 GMT

@Moonlady : So noted. Will give the Queen a call!

@Sooner: I like my tea without anything in it, unless I'm sick. Then I load it up with honey, lemon and Christian Brothers Brandy. Lots of brandy. It tastes awful, but it works better than Nyquil!

Enjoy your tea any way you like it. Don't take me so seriously!

@Moonlady

Might want to research 'soy for breast cancer risk'.

And be sure the studies are using humans, not animals.

Soy is NOT associated with breast cancer.

Period.

But do your own research.
Common sense would say it doesn't because hundreds of millions of people in Asian countries, where soy is a foundational food...

they would be riddled with breast cancer...but they are not.

Prevention = soy.

Might want to get your facts straight before giving me

an ugly order of, 'So stop with the blanket, unfounded nonsense.'

Have a good day🌼💛
