✦ Tea polyphenols + full dairy nutrition ✦ Calcium and iodine from whole milk ✦ Riboflavin and B12 ✦ Richer flavour than semi-skimmed

Tea with whole milk is the richest, creamiest preparation of the UK's most popular hot drink. It combines tea's theaflavin polyphenols and caffeine with dairy milk's calcium, iodine, protein, riboflavin, and vitamin B12 in a single warming mug. A cup made with 30ml whole milk adds around 20 kcal and 35mg calcium.

Preparation note

The classic builder's tea; a stronger brew balances the creaminess of whole milk. Avoid adding tea within an hour of iron-rich meals if plant iron is a concern.
