Milk

Milk was a liquid secreted by mammals to feed their young. Different species could usually consume the milk of other species, as humans and Time Lords commonly did with the milk of cows. (TV: Hide) It was often used as an accompaniment to tea. (PROSE: Fungus) The Ninth Doctor once implied that there was something unique in the universe about the milk that came from cattle, and that he regularly had to return to Earth just to get milk. (TV: The Empty Child) The Tenth Doctor later told Martha that he normally went to a farm in 9th century France for his milk. (COMIC: Wrath of the Warrior)

Milk-producing species
Whether the female of a species exuded milk from its nipples or from simple ducts to nurture its young was one of the defining traits of mammals. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers) Similar nourishing substances were produced by non-mammalian species. Malmooth could drink their own internal milk, (TV: Utopia) while the green milk produced by Skarasens was fed on by the Zygons. (PROSE: Sting of the Zygons, PROSE: The Bodysnatchers)

Milk as a beverage
Milk was also used by other species as a drink. The humans of Earth harvested and drank the milk of cows. Milk was sold in cartons or glass bottles, and delivered by milkmen. (TV: The Stolen Earth, Hide) In some locations, such as the planet Sto, milk was sold in a Milk Market. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)

Milk was often used in tea and coffee to add taste. It was sometimes drunk warm as a sleep aid. (PROSE: Theatre of War, TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)

Like humans, cats often drank milk. One one occasion, this made the cats of the United Kingdom vulnerable to alien attack. When a fungus from space found its way into Britain's milk supply, cats all over the country turned on their owners in a series of savage attacks. (PROSE: Fungus)

The Doctor
The Ninth Doctor travelled to Earth at least every five days, which Rose Tyler attributed to him having to get milk. He seemed annoyed that, of all the universe, it had to come from a cow. (TV: The Empty Child)

The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones fought and then helped a viking warrior they ran into when they stopped to buy milk. (COMIC: Wrath of the Warrior) Another time they tried to get milk they ended up in the Whispering Gallery instead of a grocers as intended. (COMIC: The Whispering Gallery)

Milk as an ingredient
