I do that sometimes when I drink hot tea. Mostly I drink my tea iced (preferably green) and not sweetened at all.

Putting milk in tea destroys the antioxidant value of the tea. At that point it has no health benefit. (It doesn't harm you but it doesn't help in any way either.)

You still get the anti-oxidants. The piece of research your citing was actually flawed as it was trying to compare the health benefits of tea with milk to tea without. You still get all the goodness of the tea and you get all the goodness of the milk. One doesn't neutralise the other.

You do however get the fats, carbohydrates, proteins, calcium associated with milk. However that isn't actually a bad thing. They are useful.

Edit.

You're also supposed to leave the tea to stew for seven minutes to get the full amount of antioxidants.... >.>

The best tea is iced green tea with nothing else added. My favorite is Oi Ocha by Ito En.

I'm still too young to drink coffee. (I still have usefull life ahead of me.)

I like chocolate covered coffee beans but when coffee's brewed, it's ruined.
