checking in: a cheap teabag (that i still think is nicest when drunk plain anyway), three teaspoons of powdered milk, sweetened with stevia, and a pinch of salt.
...maybe the salt lifted the drink up a bit? it's a sideways movement at worst. maybe using stevia for sweetener messes up the flavour profile? possibly. not really a big fan of regular sugar, though.
you could argue that by this point it's not even tea any more; it's just some abominable hot cocktail. i'd again argue that we're past that point when we added milk into it

haven't checked yet, but just like how adding a little bit of salt into your chocolate drink works well, i think we could be onto something with a little bit of salt in your milk tea?
anyway, two can play that game: i don't think you should even add milk if your leaves are that good. are we tasting the tea or the milk here, hm
my personal tastes: i don't put sugar in tea, but occasionally some cheap tea that's a little bit too sweet is nice i think. it's difficult to get milk that's not flavoured/sweetened in my place anyway so any milk tea would be sweet by default, so no milk either. but when i do put milk in it, i make it a little bit too sweet, again. for some reason i can never get it "sweet enough", but "not sweet enough" is by far the worst thing for me.
