Olé!

I like milk in my tea.

In England, this seems to be the norm and I didn't even have to ask for the milk. I love you, England.

In France, thé au lait is a bit more unusual, but still understood. Sometimes one has to put up with waiters' jokes about "Spanish tea" (thé olé!).

In the United States, tea with milk is rather strange. Waiters are always forgetting the milk and my friends look aghast. Milk?! In tea?! Is that any good?

In Chile, té con leche is an order made by mutants and can result in anything from a tea and a glass of milk to a teabag steeping in hot milk (which is really not too bad!). I find it rather odd because it seems to be even more of a tea-drinking country than the US or France.

How do you feel about milky tea?

We Chileans dontt like to drink tea with milk because the taste gets lost or very modified by milk.
But in the childhood time near all of us were obligated to drink tea "in" milk. Here is more known the cofee with milk (caf cortado = cut cofee).
