The only tea fit for 100% cream (not milk) is Earl Grey.<BR/><BR/>If concerned about excessive heat, move to a higher elevation where water boils at a significantly lower temperature. That's what I did, long before this study came out.

It's a wee bit of a hassle to have to go down there and stand around while it boils (people tend to take the water otherwise), but I'm surviving!Cath@VWXYNot?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01164268321173313605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-42267260234313172942009-04-01T10:19:00.000-07:002009-04-01T10:19:00.000-07:00LOL!

It's OK, a little too sweet though (I'm a little sensitive to lactose, but not intolerant - small amounts of milk in tea are OK, as are cheese and yoghurt (the bugs eat most of the lactose), but if I drink a whole glass of milk I feel gross for hours).Cath@VWXYNot?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01164268321173313605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-37169839091637343052009-04-01T06:30:00.000-07:002009-04-01T06:30:00.000-07:00I'm with Mad Hatter on this one.
