Tea is a hot brown drink made by pouting boiling water into the dried leaves from a particular bush. Lipton is a good example.

Chocolate drink can't be tea. Tea is got from a tea plant.
Chocolate is got from a cocoa plant.

Milk chocolate drink, cocoa drink , chocolate drink and chocolate drink au lait are words you can use to describe the usual tea you have every morning. �

All that you mentioned are not in the same category with the usage of tea to mean Chocolate drink.

Tea and chocolate are different.
Tea, cocoa and coffees are generally known as beverages


Omo is a brand of detergent
Maclean is a brand of toothpaste
Tea is not a brand of chocolate.

I hope You understand.

People sabi talk rubbish just to appear smart.
If you put a tea bag in water and the add milk, sugar, etc, what you just prepared is tea. Tea does not refer only to the drink made from tea leaves. SMH.
N/b. Don't just take my word for it, you can consult your dictionary

By Merriam Webster dictionary: a drink that is made by soaking the dried leaves of an Asian plant in hot water
: a similar drink that is made by using the dried leaves of another kind of plant
: the dried leaves that are used in making tea. Even if the drink is made with chocolate, milk and hot water(without tea) most Nigerians will still call it tea. So, stop behaving as if you know more than the op and everybody that agreed with the post.

As you have said this, the tea drunk in nigeria, does it have tea plant as one of its ingredient?

Well, no it doesn't.
Travel outside this country and request tea, you will see what you will get. You will then realise this comment of yours is uncalled for

There are many definitions of tea, you should have checked them all before you rushed to reply.

Beverage is a safer term to use but then , nobody knows which of the beverages you are having. Clarity is essential here.
