Sorry I can't give you a definite answer but I'll be interested in the answers to this too. My cats aren't interested in tea but my Border Collie loves it, I never make her a cup of her own but she always likes to polish off the last trickles of anyone else's.

It would appear that tea does contain toxic components. Link for info: Chocolate Toxicity in Dogs and Cats (it says chocolate, but it has info on tea and coffee too)

Whether the amount you are letting your cat drink will is enough to harm her, that's debatable. I personally wouldn't risk it myself. Would your cat not drink just the kitten milk, warmed up? It usually goes down well as a treat for most cats.

How old is she?
If she is fully weaned she doesn't need milk of any kind

If she needs to put on weight then she would benefit from some good quality food, not some treat milk that is hardly nutritious at all.
