Sipped this down with whole milk, and my mom had a mug as well. At first, she didn’t want any milk (she is so freaking picky about it and claims it makes things taste like cow) but after taking a few sips sans milk she thought to try it out and ended up loving it. It just ties all the cocoa and mint flavours together, transforming this into an ultra desserty cup of greatness. Still not my favourite chocolate mint tea, but very good nonetheless.

Hahaha. It tastes like cow. I guess I could see that? Kinda? I mean, almond milk tastes like almonds. And goat milk tastes like goat… Sort of.
Ah love it. My mum drinks pretty much only tea with lemon. And never flavoured ones, as per doctors orders apparently.
^ Generally speaking, doctors rarely know enough about this topic to make that kind of a call, but anywho.
Right there with you @Evol! hence the apparently. Though they say it has to do with her kidneys, so maybe? shrugs
Haha yeah, she is really picky about dairy in general, so I think it’s just her way of expressing that she doesn’t like any certain pronounced undertones of cow’s milk.
Haven’t tried goat milk, though. I heard it’s actually supposed to be pretty good? Guess it’s all personal preference, though.
Indigo, what a strange doctor’s order. Like what, do flavourings have epically toxic stuff in them that destroy the kidneys?
Maybe it is tea generally that taxes the kidneys, flavoured or otherwise.
Hmm, maybe the answer is here. http://www.livestrong.com/article/540481-tea-kidneys/
Interesting. I know she has had many kidney stones(not kidney disease), and her kind often can’t be blasted by ultrasound. And she is pre-diabetic (no meds, controlled by diet)
Most of those things seem positive though. Hmmm.
There’s also this aspect of flavoured teas that the doctor may be referring to. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/261179.php
Oh she is allergic to aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, so that could be it!
