We tried washing our hands with it instead, but that worked out even more poorly. :P Don't worry, the milk (and quite possibly sugar) kills the taste of the black tea nicely.

The milk and sugar is what I'm asking about. Black tea is just fine on its own, maybe with a bit of honey.

milk or cream tend to cut the bitter flavor in coffees and teas.

I thought the bitter flavour was the reason for drinking them?

I drink my coffee with a fat source sometimes, but never my tea.
