| Jan 19, 2017 at 9:31 | comment | added | Jason C | @P I thought it was a fine answer that still applies. I did say "ideally", meaning it'd be nice, but not required. I mean if the differences are so subtle that a human wouldn't notice, then the chemistry is moot, and that's a totally reasonable answer (esp. if anybody knew of any e.g. blind taste studies) :) | |
| Jan 19, 2017 at 9:29 | comment | added | user51717 | I've deleted my answer as it's now meaningless after your last edit. I'm guessing that anyone answering will replicate the same research methods as you've already looked at before asking the question. And for that reason, I'm out... | |

| Jan 19, 2017 at 8:52 | comment | added | canardgras | I believe there is a very slight difference between tea with hot milk and tea with cold - you can taste the denaturing of the milk proteins (a bit like UHT milk). Now, whether that difference actually matters is debatable. | |
| Jan 19, 2017 at 8:18 | comment | added | MKHC | This is a British problem that has destroyed relationships. I'd say it doesn't matter either way; it's done both with or without milk added and I've never personally noticed a difference. However my mum insists sugar stops it brewing properly so shouldn't be added until after. | |
