Adding Milk to my "Travel Tea Station"

“Sesame Street pill box” …best phrase ever! Wow, you’ve got this thought out! I wish I had an answer other than going to a coffee shop and getting a cup of steamed mik.

Hmm. I, clearly, am far more lazy than you, because that sounds too complicated for me! Other than finding a small thermos and filling it with milk, and adding it to your traveling tea-making apparatus, or bringing along powdered/dry milk in a baggie, I really can’t think of any good suggestions. I usually drink milky tea at home, because I like to steam/froth up my milk with my espresso machine. If I want milky tea while I’m out and about, I hit the Starbucks drive-through for an Awake or Earl Grey tea latte.

You could use a small glass bottle such as the Lifefactory WeeGo bottle. They have a 4 oz size. They come with a nipple lid meant for babies, but you can buy a regular lid separately. You might want to get a bottle brush to make washing it easier if you go this route.

Another thing you could use is a plastic travel cosmetics bottle, such as one made by Japonesque.

Another idea is an old jam jar, if it is watertight. They are often around the right size, but sometimes an awkward shape.

If you want to keep the milk cold, then maybe one of those squishy icepacks that can wrap around the bottle, or an insulated bag, or a smaller size thermos might help.

I believe that Kleen Kanteen makes a smallish insulated stainless steel bottle, it would keep the milk fairly cold but it is still another sizable item to carry around.

Another option is buy a small flask, size would be about right, and perhaps you could fashion a neoprene sleeve to insulate it.

Personally I like your flask, it’ll have all your class mates talking and drive the faculty nuts. Just don’t blame me if you get in trouble for it :-D.
