About Tea with soya milk
Tea with soya milk is a popular beverage made by adding soya milk, a plant-based alternative to dairy milk, to brewed tea. Originating from plant milk's modern usage and suitability for lactose-intolerant diets, soya milk is commonly used in many cuisines worldwide. It is especially prominent in vegan and vegetarian diets. Nutritionally, soya milk enhances the tea’s profile by providing protein (approximately 8 grams per cup) and various vitamins, particularly vitamin B12 (if fortified), and minerals like calcium and potassium. Combined with tea's natural antioxidants, the drink offers a balanced mix of hydration, protein, and micronutrients, suitable as a mid-day beverage or paired with meals.
Health Benefits
- Rich in isoflavones from soya milk, which may support heart health by reducing LDL cholesterol levels.
- Tea contains antioxidants such as catechins that help combat oxidative stress and support immune function.
- Fortified soya milk can be an excellent source of calcium, supporting bone health, especially for those avoiding dairy.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store soya milk in the refrigerator once opened and consume within 7-10 days. Brewed tea should be freshly made for optimal flavor and nutrient retention.
