Milk tea is a very popular type of 'soft drink' especially in Asian countries and now, in the United States. Individually, they both have health benefits (of course, this is only true if little to no sugar is added). However, there are studies that show milk proteins may bind to tea flavonoids , which are antioxidants and beneficial to the body, and prevent them from being absorbed in the body.
More study needs to be done on this but, the conclusion is, it's delicious, but putting them together may or may not give you the health benefits you expect from drinking tea. So far, there isn't any adverse effects of combining the two. Enjoy it in moderation!
