With regard to the question of when to add cold milk to hot tea so as to have the
tea as hot as possible after the phone has been answered :

Obviously, one should add the milk BEFORE going to answer the phone, since
heat loss is proportional to the difference in temperature between the cup of
tea and the surroundings. I mean the Rate of heat loss.
