Milk in tea

[deblet]

Hi I am trying to go from vegetarian to vegan but finding it hard to give up milk in tea. This week I have been trying unsweetened soya milk but find it sweet and chalky tasting. Anyone else have trouble adapting and any advice please. Thank you

I think it varies a lot by personal preference but the only one I like ( and it is actuslly nice) is oat milk. Get the alpro one though as oatly is very bitty and not nice in drinks. And shake well as it does settle out!

I use almond milk, I can use soya but prefer almond

Thanks I will try those. Need my cuppa esp in the morning lol

I think it's a case of trying a few and finding one that works for you.
I also really advise you just quit dairy and give the non-dairy milks a bit of time - your tastebuds will adjust - if you are still having dairy, they won't!
If you really don't like the non-dairy milk in your tea, I recommend having herbal tea for a month and then trying again with the various vegan milks.

Also to add to the previous posters, if you try various milks and don't immediately like them, try other brands.

I prefer almond milk - soy always curdled for me. I find I have to use more of it than I would cows' milk to get the same 'lightening' effect in my tea, but I don't really notice a difference in taste. I use the unsweetened version.

I find unsweetened almond milk the closest cows milk alternative. That said, it's definitely a very personal choice as several friends completely disagree with me!

I use Alpro oat milk abs after using it for a week I now can't stand cow milk in my tea. I crave a cup of oat milk tea when I get home now!

My dh is dairy free due to diet not veganism.
He just bit the bullet and had a few cups of tea without and soon got used to it, the same with coffee.
Most of the substitutes don't taste right.

oat milk is the only one we like. jusy mke sure you shale carton well before pouring

I love rice milk in tea and coffee. I've found it's the closest to tasting milk I've found. And weirdly its tastes like cream in coffee.

I'm cutting down on milk in tea by just having it less milky each time. It takes about 4 or 5 mugs until I like it that way and can take even less next time. No real reason except I fancied having stronger teas. Now I hardly have any milk in and didn't notice once that my takeout tea didn't have milk in when they accidentally forgot it one morning. It was only the fact that it wasn't cooling much that made me look inside the cup.

Oatly barista... it is gorgeous, creamy, milky... perfect.

I've been having soya milk for donkeys years but I find certain brands a bit bleurgh.

'Fresh' soya milk bought from the fridge is grim and too sweet. I always use long life as it tastes nicer

Sweetened is bearable- I used to prefer this but now prefer unsweetened. They've changed the Alpro unsweetened recipe recently and I don't like it now- it's too sweet...the organic one is fine though and supermarket own brands tend to be fine too.

Keep drinking it without milk and you will get used to it black after awhile, and will prefer it that way.

I've had the exact same problem and the best I've found is Tesco's everyday value UHT unsweetened soya milk.

Late to the thread but had to post about Oatly Barista. Designed for hot drinks, best I've tried.

Provitamel Oat Drink - I tried loads and this works the best in tea and coffee. Can usually only find it in Asda in my area.

Yes yes to Oatley barista. Currently being renamed to Oatley foamable. Amazing- perfect tea and coffee.

Oat milk is also my favourite :)

Oatly barista - non-vegan guests don’t seem to have noticed

Tesco sweetened soya milk here actually prefer it to cows milk.

I use either Bon soya or Oatly barista

Plenish cashew milk is pretty good.

I mixed regular milk with whichever substitute gradually using less and less cows milk until it was all almond. That way the change was more gradual and palatable.
