Therefore, the name of British milk tea is also very particular, such as Earl Milk Tea or Royal Milk Tea. British milk tea is the re -creation and upgrade of Indian original milk tea.
In Europe, except the British, no country's people like Dutch like Dutch like milk tea. It is understood that the Dutch has a history of drinking tea 40 years earlier than the British. The Dutch does not like the spicy taste of Indian milk tea.
As a result, the British mixed different varieties of tea to replace the spices to make milk tea and add maple sugar as a flavoring agent. This is also the prototype and basic formula of modern milk tea.
