> > Which cup is now hotter, or are they the same?

This is Ye British English ande mindsette at work.

Here "cup" refers to the contents of the cup. ie the tea + water +
milk combination. And not to the eg bone china container.

Also, the problem probably assumes that the cup=3Dcontainer has infinite
thermal resistance and zero thermal mass.
ie considering convection and radiation from the top surface probably suffi=
ceth.

Clue: Fluids will transfer energy to their surroundings at an
increasing rate as they are heated relative to their environment.

NB - clue just provides more degrees of freedom to argue over.
