1. Supports Heart Health
Black tea, which is often used in milk tea, contains flavonoids, a type of antioxidant that helps maintain heart health. Several studies show that flavonoids can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
2. Source of Important Nutrients
Milk added to tea is a source of calcium, protein and potassium. This nutrient supports bone health and helps maintain muscle and nerve function.
3. Rich in antioxidants
Tea, especially green and black tea, is rich in antioxidants such as catechins and theaflavins. These antioxidants help fight free radicals in the body, which can cause chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes.
4. Provides energy
Tea contains caffeine which provides an energy boost. The combination with milk makes this drink more balanced, providing energy without causing an excessive caffeine spike.
5. Improves Taste and Texture
For many people, adding milk to tea is not only about nutrition, but also about the taste experience. Milk provides a creamy texture and smooth taste that makes tea more delicious.
Side Effects to Watch Out for
Despite the many benefits, there are a few things to keep in mind. Research suggests that the proteins in milk may reduce the antioxidant effects in tea. Apart from that, adding excessive sugar to milk tea can also reduce its health benefits.
