Milk in tea

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 like my tea to be really milky and for me cashew milk is the best as it doesn't have a nutty taste but is creamy enough that you don't need half a cup of it in the tea! I also find it the most adaptable for cooking as it isn't sweet or too watery, so it means I don't have to have one milk for tea/breakfast, and one for cooking savoury dishes.

I tried a load of different ones when they all went on offer a few months ago before I decided Grin.

Try having Earl Grey tea instead of normal black tea.

I used tinned coconut milk, watered down in a jug kept in the fridge for cereal. About 3 tins full of water for the right consistency.

But I don't drink black tea, just redbush.

Koko milk is the best I’ve tried so far - doesn’t have a strong taste so good in a cuppa and in cereal 👍🏻

Aldi unsweetened soya milk instead of milk in cappuccino. Black tea and black coffee - after 10/20 cups I was ok.

Iv tried lots and like Rude Health almond milk in tea. Doesn't curdle either

After much experimentation I have Oatly Barista in coffee and Rice Dream + Calcium in tea. It must be the Rice Dream with Calcium as the one without curdles badly.

Wow came back for some dinner ideas and see more messages on here. Thank you. Still trying different ones, doing rude health milks at the moment.

Definitely Oatly barista. It tastes creamy and is thick like normal milk. I find almond too watery.

I’m on day 4 of being vegan and my friend recommended hemp milk as the best for tea. I bought Good Hemp Original but while it doesn’t curdle, I’m really not keen on the taste (although it makes a decent hot chocolate!) I’m going to try the unsweetened one next to see if it’s any better in tea.
