Can anyone tell me how many carbs there are per tbsp of milk (Pasteurised,
Semi Skimmed, & Skimmed)? Thanks.

A cup of milk has about 12 or 13 grams of carbs. There are 16 TBSPs in
a cup and so that works out to less than 1g/TBSP. 10% cream has
slightly less per tablespoon.
In my opinion, the difference is negligeable, IF YOU COMPARE TBSP FOR
TBSP. But, I find if I'm using milk, I use more, because I like a
certain color tea that I can get using less cream.
So, you would have to decide whether the calories or the carbs are more
important to you. Also, of course, you should factor in which tastes
better for you.
