The AhS I mentioned earlier helps:

The relevant feature of a drink for havdalah is chashivus,
but the releavent feature is whether it fills.

The AhS holds that tea with sugar* has chashivus, but isn't filling
until there is milk in your coffee or tea.

* Others in the chevrah believe he would say the same of tea without the
sugar. I also mentioned this earlier disagreement in my prior comment
in this thread.
