Bailey’s tea? This is a thing now, is it?

I don’t know the answer to your question but here are some thoughts from r/AskUK:
Is it OK to put Bailey’s Irish Cream in English breakfast tea?

- Depends on if you have an alcohol problem or not. If you do then it's probably just a bit eccentric rather than proper out right mad.

- Nobody gives a fuck, put tomato ketchup in it if it makes you happy.

- I put Bailey's on my pizza but even I think you're weird.

Well, if you can get a Baileys Coffee, why not Baileys Tea?

After duckduckgo-ing it, apparently it is a thing, most seem to be making it with Chai.

You may want to experiment with different teas as I imagine an EB will not be detectable after adding some Baileys to it.

I don’t think tea would have a strong enough taste to mask the Baileys?

You could try a good strongly flavoured tea like lapsang souchong…

What I'd recommend is making a nice cup of tea, your choice of bag/brand and chucking the baileys out the window as its vile stuff. Spat it out when tried it

Not even in homeopathic quantities?

Why not just dilute with hot water or milk?

I quite like Baileys but can't drink it due to cream/lactose content. Maybe I can try my new high strength lactase tablets on it sometime... I'd drink the baileys and tea separately thobut.
