Solution

We are able to sip hot tea coffee or milk from a saucer rather than cup because,
Saucer has a large surface area than cup as rate of evaporation increases with an increase in surface area
Rate of evaporation and surface area are proportional to each other.
So the evaporation is faster due to which the hot tea or milk cools rapidly.
