Tea is less dense than milk, so it will float on top. This is due to the difference in their molecular structures and compositions.
Yes, the temperature of the tea and milk can affect the floating of tea. Warmer liquids have less dense particles, so the tea may float more easily. However, extreme temperatures can also cause the tea to sink due to changes in density.
Herbal teas, such as peppermint or chamomile, tend to float more in milk because they have larger and lighter particles compared to black or green teas.
Yes, adding sugar or other additives can affect the floating of tea in milk. Sugar increases the density of the liquid, causing the tea to sink. Other additives, such as cream or honey, can also alter the density and affect the floating of the tea.
Yes, the type of milk used can affect the floating of tea. Different types of milk have different densities, so the tea may float differently in whole milk compared to skim milk. Additionally, the fat content in milk can also play a role in the floating of tea.
