In a controversy about making the best-flavoured tea, a scientist has claimed that adding milk to the cup of tea before water ensures the ‘best flavour’. Leeds University prof Alan Mackie states that the milk prevents the flavour due to minerals found in hard water. Whereas, another scientist concluded that milk contains proteins that lower the water’s mineral content adding better flavour to the tea.
