Sounds like you scalded the milk and it had a skin?
That was definitely the problem! Thanks. I’m new to drinking hot teas, so am experimenting!
I think the milk probably curdled. I don’t think that type of tea is really made to take dairy.
That’s a good point too, acid plus milk makes buttermilk.
Right on the nose! Thank you!
Celestial Seasonings website gives the ingredients as: “Hibiscus, rosehips, roasted chicory, orange peel, blackberry leaves, natural flavors of black raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries, cranberries and cherries with other natural flavors and citric acid.”
You absolutely curdled the milk. Rosehips are acidic too.
Thank you! I’m new to hot teas, so I’m experimenting.
Another possibility of that you had some undissolved honey at the bottom. You say it was gelatinous, but was it more honey coloured or milk coloured? I still suggest avoiding milk but depending on how much honey you put in there, you might have had a clump of it.
Less honey than milk, but I think everyone who said I scalded the milk were correct!
Oh dear! I guess those wild berries really do zing. Sounds like it was acidic enough to curdle the milk. Sorry friend :(
Obviously not ready for so much zing . . . or curdled milk!! Thanks for all the responses!
