Which vegan "milk"?

I really like rice milk or unsweetened soy! Coconut and almond are good but they’re better when you have a tea with a similar flavor profile (i.e. almond milk for chais, coconut milk for teas with lemongrass) since they do affect the flavor a bit.

I use unsweetened/unflavored almond milk…I wish I could say I made my own, but not the case. Unsweetened Hemp is also good, but to me almond milk is creamier. Did you by any chance use sweetened soy milk? There is unsweetened and I can’t imagine that would be terribly sweet.

Unsweetened/ unflavoured soy, and vanilla almond milk. Depends on the tea. I usually only drink the vanilla with chai blends.

I prefer almond milk. I always have regular – non sweet non flavored, vanilla and chocolate in the house. My brother has an almond milk maker that I could use but have yet to try it. He wanted to sell it but it is SO heavy the shipping alone would be insane. I really don’t think it would be cheaper than buying the organic almond milk I already do.

I use a rice milk or so delicious coconut milk beverage, or barista style creamer with my cereal, I rarely milk my tea, but these might work for that for you.

I second the so delicious coconut milk stuff. Everything. I don’t think it affects the flavor at all. Most of the time I just like to get the plain creamer and use it in tea. You don’t need much at all, it’s not sweet, and completely unrelated to putting anything into tea they have an awesome coconut milk eggnog in the winter.

I love blue diamond unsweetened vanilla almond milk!

I recently discovered oat milk, and have found it to be the most neutral flavour and best texture to go with tea. makes a decent froth and doesn’t curdle so is good for lattes

Plain ol’ unsweetened soymilk works best for me. Sweetened is fine too, if it’s made with sugar (rather than apple juice concentrate, which is surprisingly common in the UK).

Do you prefer cream in your tea? I’m not familiar with people adding cream instead of milk.

I got my first red leaf tea flavored matchas in the mail yesterday and want to try out the cold method with milk but don’t really want 10oz of milk! Which non dairy milk is best with matcha? I typically used Almond milk but am open to suggestions. Does anyone ever just use water? The flavors I have are butter cookie and toffee (which I think would be good with almond milk) and then ginger, grapefruit, and lemongrass which don’t sound good with any kind of milk. What do you guys think?
