The first person to put milk into tea was Teana Teucrides, the seventh daughter of Prince Teanek Teucrides of Troy. She brought in a pail of goat milk just as her mother was serving the first cup of morning tea to the prince. Teana stumbled over the family cat and a splash of milk went into his cup. Teanek found the taste pleasant, and a worldwide tradition was born.
This happened before the historic war with the Greeks. It was tea with milk that enabled the Trojans to hold out against a vastly superior army of soldiers, sailors, and Marines for more than ten years. Since goat milk is heavier than cows' milk, and richer in butterfat, the drink stiffened the upper lips of the Trojans.
FWIIW, this was also long before Devon Cream was invented.

What riddle is good to use for coffee mugs for a kitchen tea?
Consider two identical cups, one half-full of tea, the other half-full of milk. You take a teaspoon of milk from the milk cup and put it in the tea cup. Then you take a spoonful out of the tea cup and put it in the milk cup. Now: is there more tea in the milk cup, or more milk in the tea cup?
How do you make the best tea ever?
The main tips are: Put fresh water into the kettle. (Pre-boiled water loses its dissolved oxygen and some of its taste). Use boiling water. Use cold milk. If you use a pot, warm the pot first. Put the milk in the cup first (if you put the milk in afterward you can "scald" the milk). But if you make the tea in a mug (with a tea bag) wait for the tea to brew and remove the bag BEFORE adding milk (otherwise the milk reduces the temperature and stops the brewing). In places like Ceylon (Sri Lanka) where the tea is really fresh and strong, you can use warm milk; but the tea is very different from the drink we are used to in the West. This is because the tea that is exported in tea chests is months old and virtually stale by the time we get to use it.
