Brief Answer:
Yes milk and dairy has to be taken after two hours

Detailed Answer:
You are correct, sotalol has to be taken on empty stomach.
Dairy products have calcium which reduces the absorption of most drugs. So sotalol is something which comes into this category.
You can take hot tea/green tea without milk in it.
