Milk in after or milk in first?

Milk tea is a favorite drink, it is a delicious drink and with the health benefits of both tea and milk. Talking about milk tea, a topic of debate is when to put tea in milk or milk in tea?

Those who advocate giving milk before tea are called MIF (milk first) while others are called MIA (milk later). Even after a long time of arguing, there was still no conclusion, they couldn't agree on each other's point.

Milk In After

As for the MIA, they say that by adding the tea first and stirring when a certain amount of milk is added, one can precisely adjust the amount of milk to avoid the problem of putting in too much or too little milk. And it also cools the tea a bit to a more acceptable drinking temperature.

Milk In First

However the MIF also has their arguments. In the 17th century, British milk tea was served with fine porcelain teapots and relatively expensive cups, the milk being added first to soften the tea and prevent the teapots and cups from breaking. Besides, adding milk after tea can help maintain the temperature of the tea, inspire the flavor of tea and milk, and soften the tea, reducing the astringency.

Britons still have different opinions about tea poured into milk or milk poured into tea, while the BSI (British Standards Institute) offers their official best practice guide for creating the perfect cup of tea by add milk first. And they also note that the tea taste and aroma are best when the temperature of the tea is between 60-85 degrees. And the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) actively agreed to this guideline in 2003.

Later, the French physical chemist Hervé This, who focused on molecular gastronomy, gave an explanation of this idea in his book les Secrets de la casserole (English version, published in English). translated by Jody Gladding, Kitchen of the Mystery: Revealing the Science of Cooking). He mentioned that milk proteins remove astringent tannins in tea provided they are not denatured by heat; Therefore, it is recommended to add hot tea to cold milk.

So, from a taste and health perspective, pouring tea into milk is a better way.

Of course, you can also add milk to the tea. Try two ways and taste the difference, you may find your own favorite taste.
