Milk Types in the UK

Raw vs Pasteurised Milk

Pasteurised milk is heat-treated to remove harmful bacteria and is the standard milk used in the UK. It is safe, widely available, and recommended for general consumption.

Raw milk is unpasteurised and only available through limited regulated channels in the UK. While some consumers prefer its taste, it carries higher health risks.

Which Milk Is Best for Brewed Drinks?

For chai lattes, matcha milk drinks, and turmeric lattes, pasteurised milk is the most practical and consistent choice.
