Milk

Gone are the days of having only cow or soy to choose from. From oat to goat, almond to macadamia, there’s endless opportunities to experiment with the milk that suits you, and your chosen tea, best. Here’s our guide to the different milks out there, and what they add to your cup.

Cow’s milk

The classic to add to tea, cow’s milk works well because its fat and protein content stand up to the strong flavour profile of black tea. It froths well and suits pretty much all of our black teas.

Soy milk

A great stand in for cow’s milk if you’re vegan or dairy intolerant, soy almost equals cow’s milk with richness and froths really well, meaning it’s a pretty easy swap.

Almond milk

Deliciously nutty, almond milk is a great vegan option that works well with teas like Caramel Brownie and Creme Brulee. Not quite as thick and rich as cow or soy, almond still froths up a treat.

Coconut milk

Add a little bit of tropical creaminess with coconut milk. Rich and filled with good fats, coconut milk can sometimes taste a little sour when added to certain teas, so play around to find what works for you.

Oat milk

The new kid on the block, oat milk is fast eclipsing soy and almond on café menus. Creamy and subtle, it works well with all teas.

Rice milk

A lighter option for those who want a milky tea that isn’t too overpowering, rice milk is subtle and nutty.

Macadamia milk

A luxurious option for your latte, add plenty of strong, buttery macadamia flavours with this milk alternative. Thick and smooth, it’s perfect with tea.
