Black tea is tannic, bitter and astringent to me. Milk and sugar make it so good. I have 1.25 tsp sugar. Try the alts:
- replace sugar with honey=Craftsman’s Tea
- replace the sugar with maple syrup=Artisans Tea
as a British person who indulges in drinking tea with milk atleast 3-4 times a day it is a rlly good combo. Don’t do english breakfast black tea but regular black tea
