Hi all

I've recently discovered oat milk and almond milk have really helped my gut and my number 2's, I'm now looking to try remove coffee from my daily drinks as I get to much.. I've tried normal tea but can't get it right and think it's weird :p can anyone recommend maybe some flavoured tea's that I may like please

Cheers
 
Ticktock rooibos chai, with a spoonful of honey and splash of oat milk is lovely (even better if it's vanilla oat milk) - I usually have the barista stuff since I use it for making lattes, which I think is a bit thicker/richer than normal oat milk

stop adding milk or milk sub to tea. drink it black. Try assam, ceylon, earl grey, lady grey for a start.

When you say can't get it right what do you mean?

As a coffee drinker I would go to assam, let it rest for 4 minutes after adding properly boiling water.
Ideally fresh water as well, bad water is more apparent with tea than coffee.
A splash of a lowish fat milk, semi or skimmed.

The time it seeps is really important for tea, as is temperature.

For decent tea once you get used to it, breakfast tea is a nice combo for most of the day. Its partly assam so will have notes you recognise after having pure assam.
You can get a strong version of breakfast if you find you like strong teas.

Assam is nice yes. Its like a ‘pure’ breakfast tea. On the other hand ceylon is a nice tea at the opposite end— light, tasty and refreshing.
 
Most milk substitutes are not great. Often made with waste from the nut industry, some pumped with random oils and extra sugar. Oat milk for example can cause glucose spikes.
Have tea without milk or substitutes imo. Earl grey, white tea, green etc.
 
Tea just isn’t nice with oat milk. Despite my lactose intolerance I’d rather have a splash of milk in a regular Ceylon tea…but tend to have various caffeine free, rooibos and herbal teas in the afternoons and evening.

Oat goes great with coffee though.
