In Britain, when hot tea and cold milk are drunk together, the drink is simply known as ''tea'' due to the vast majority of tea being consumed in such a way. The term ''milk tea'' is unused, although one may specify ''tea with milk'' if context requires it. This may cause confusion for people from cultures that traditionally drink tea without milk.

Milk tea refers to several forms of beverage found in many cultures, containing some combination of tea and milk. Beverages vary based on the amount of each of these key ingredients, the method of preparation, and the inclusion of other ingredients (varying from sugar or honey to salt or cardamom).[1] Instant milk tea powder is a mass-produced product.[2]

Variations
