You're also "fighting" culture here. People get indoctrinated into
adding cream or milk to their tea because that's what everyone around
them does. For years, I thought tea had to be served with lemon
because every cup of tea I'd ever ordered came with lemon.

Granted, I was a kid at that time, but you get the point.

Personally, I've never quite enjoyed the taste of tea and milk. The
only exception being the chai lattes that Starbucks and Caribou sell
for those of us who can't tolerate coffee.

But one could argue that those aren't really "tea" anyway. But they're
darned tasty.
