Tea in a flask

[seven201]

Tea with milk in in a flask tastes horrible. From my googling I've discovered that it's alright if you add the milk in later. It seems you used to be able to buy a flask with a mini milk compartment but I can't find one of those. Has anyone seen any for sale?

Or do I just need to accept I'm going to have to buy a separate mini flask for milk? Like many others, I now won't have easy access to a kettle at work come September.

I have no access to a fridge where I work since lockdown. I bought a small Sho bottle (250/260 ml) and it works brilliantly, keeps the milk cold during the day. I would keep everything separate - teabags from water... Also, please preheat the hot water flask. It'll help to keep the water as hot as possible. I also try to pre-cold the Sho bottle but that's not as crucial.

Maybe take a carton of milk? Or would that be minging?

I think a little sho or chilly bottle for the milk is going to have to be what I do. I need one that won't leak in my bag when I'm running around. I have some normal flasks so I'll give it a go with one of those. Thanks everyone
