    Why do you put milk in tea?

    • To warm it up

    • To cool it down

    • To make it change colour

    Correct Answer
    A. To cool it down
    Explanation
    Milk is added to tea to cool it down. When hot tea is poured into a cup, it may be too hot to drink immediately. Adding cold milk to the tea helps to lower its temperature, making it more enjoyable to drink without having to wait for it to cool naturally. Additionally, milk can also enhance the flavor and texture of the tea, providing a creamy and smooth taste.

    High tea is traditionally associated with the upper class and wealthier individuals. It was a social event that took place in the late afternoon or early evening, where wealthy women would gather to enjoy a light meal and tea. Working men and children were less likely to participate in high tea as it was a leisurely activity reserved for the upper class. Therefore, the correct answer is wealthy women.

    When are you supposed to put the milk in the tea?

    • Before the water is poured

    • After the water is poured

    • You don't put milk in tea

    Correct Answer
    A. After the water is poured
    Explanation
    After the water is poured, you are supposed to put the milk in the tea. This is because adding milk before pouring the water may result in the milk curdling due to the high temperature of the water. Adding milk after the water is poured allows for a more gradual and controlled mixing of the two liquids, resulting in a smoother and better-tasting tea.
