“Start your morning with an invigorating coffee!” they offer us from TV screens and billboards. Despite the fact that tea has more caffeine than coffee itself, its effect is significantly different. The caffeine in tea is more subtle. And after a cup of coffee, a surge of energy will not take long. According to statistics, most people add milk to coffee because it softens the strong bitter taste. Some people use milk because fear high blood pressure after drinking americano.

It is these substances that prevent the protein from milk from being absorbed by the body.
