Does "weak" hot tea count as my liquids

Hi all: I am 6 mos post op and all of a sudden I gag when drinking plain water or any type of liquid that is cold or room temperature. But I find that a great cup of very weak hot tea mixed half with non fat milk really settles my tummy. I drink 2-3 cups in the morning and 2-3 cups in the evening....Does this count as my water????? I'm getting in almost 60 ozs during the whole day. The tea is so weak that I can get 3 cups of tea from 1 tea bag. I am getting in most of my proteins as required but can't seem to swallow any other liquids except hot tea. Will this do until I can tolerate any other liquids??????
