Although there is only one word difference between milk tea and milk, the milk in some milk teas is not milk, but is replaced by non-dairy creamer.
In addition, the sugar content of a cup of milk tea should not be underestimated. Research shows that the sugar content of a cup of milk tea is about equal to that of a bottle of cola. Even low-sugar, sugar-free or sugar-free milk tea contains sugar. According to the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents, "The daily sugar intake should not exceed 50g, and it is better to control it below 25g", while the sugar content of a cup of milk tea with normal sweetness reaches 35g.
In addition to trans fatty acids and sugar, another factor to create a good flavor and taste of milk tea is the participation of fat, but too much fat intake will lead to obesity. In milk tea with milk cover, the fat content is particularly high, with an average of 7 g/100 ml. The recommended daily intake of fat for adults is below 60 grams. Drinking such a cup of milk tea is equivalent to eating two fat meals. Therefore, although milk tea is delicious, it is still appropriate in moderation.

Milk tea is usually drunk as water when eating all kinds of dry food, and sometimes it is drunk alone, which is both thirst-quenching and hunger-tolerant, and is better than all kinds of modern drinks. When drinking milk tea, herders should soak fried rice, butter, milk tofu and hand-grabbed meat, which can not only warm the stomach against the cold, but also help digest meat and supplement vitamins lacking because they can't eat vegetables. Therefore, there is a proverb in the pastoral area: "It is better to have no food for a day and no tea for a day."
Milk tea made by Mongolian, Kazak and other northern nomadic people is collectively called grassland milk tea. Mongolian milk tea and Xinjiang milk tea belong to grassland milk tea. Grassland milk tea is the originator of all milk teas, which is made by mixing brick tea with fresh milk and adding salt. The northern grassland has a cold climate, so drinking hot salty milk tea can drive away the cold. Grassland milk tea has a unique flavor.
