Pour 1.5 cups of water into a medium saucepan or kettle and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and add 1 tablespoon of loose black tea leaves or 1 black tea bag. Let it steep for 3-4 minutes.
Strain the tea into a heatproof jug or pour directly into your serving mugs, discarding the tea leaves or tea bag.
Add 0.75 cups of freshly brewed coffee to the prepared tea.
In a small saucepan, heat 0.5 cups of milk (or your non-dairy alternative) over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it's warm but not boiling.
Froth the warm milk using a milk frother or by whisking it briskly to create a foam, if desired.
Pour the warmed milk into the tea-coffee mixture, dividing it equally between the mugs.
Sweeten with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar or your preferred sweetener, adjusting to taste.
Give the Teaffee a gentle stir, and serve immediately. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
