                                While plain brewed tea contains a negligible amount of calories, sometimes as low as 2-3 per cup, the calories in milk tea can skyrocket, often reaching several hundred calories in a single serving. This dramatic increase isn't from the tea leaves themselves but from the various calorie-dense additions that give the drink its rich flavor and texture.
