About Tea with milk and honey

Tea with milk and honey is a popular beverage found in many cuisines worldwide, often associated with British, Indian, and East Asian tea traditions. It typically combines brewed tea (black, green, or herbal) with milk and honey, creating a sweet, creamy drink. Nutritionally, its profile varies based on the type of tea, milk (dairy or plant-based), and honey used. Generally, it contains carbohydrates (from honey), proteins, and fats (from milk), as well as a mix of antioxidants like polyphenols from tea and trace vitamins such as B vitamins and calcium from milk.

Health Benefits

• Provides antioxidants, such as catechins and polyphenols from tea, which help reduce inflammation and support heart health.
• Contains calcium from milk, supporting strong bones and teeth when consumed regularly.
• Honey provides natural sugars and trace antioxidants, which may boost energy levels sustainably while supporting the immune system.

Common Questions About Tea with milk and honey Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of tea with milk and honey?

A typical serving of tea with milk and honey (made with 1 cup of tea, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of honey) contains approximately 50-60 calories, 1-2 grams of protein, 0.1 grams of fat (depending on the milk type), and 12-15 grams of carbohydrates. It provides small amounts of calcium, potassium, and antioxidants from the tea leaves.

Can I drink tea with milk and honey on a keto diet?

Tea with milk and honey is not ideal for a keto diet since it contains approximately 12-15 grams of carbohydrates primarily from the honey and milk. For a keto-friendly alternative, you can replace honey with a low-carb sweetener and use unsweetened almond or coconut milk to reduce carb content.

What are the health benefits or concerns with tea, milk, and honey?

Tea is rich in antioxidants, which can support heart health and immune function. Milk adds calcium and protein, beneficial for bone health, while honey has antimicrobial properties. However, regular consumption can lead to increased sugar intake from the honey, which may contribute to weight gain or blood sugar spikes if consumed excessively.

How much tea with milk and honey should I drink daily?

One to two cups per day is a reasonable amount for most people to enjoy the benefits of tea, milk, and honey without excessive calorie or sugar intake. Adjust portion sizes based on your dietary needs, especially if limiting sugar or carbohydrates in your diet.

How does tea with milk and honey compare to black tea or green tea alone?

Tea with milk and honey is sweeter and creamier than black or green tea, making it more calorie-dense due to the additions. Black and green tea alone are calorie-free and offer a stronger antioxidant profile without added sugar, making them more suitable for low-calorie or low-carb diets.
