| Masala Chai |
A
wonderfully sweet, spicy and soothing tea.
Chai
takes me back to those memories, sitting in the veranda sipping a cup of tea
with mom and my siblings chatting
endlessly, India is all about endless conversations and the endless
teas, and of course endless fun…I can never say no to a cup of chai. Indian streets, tea vendors, memories. ..It’s
all about flavours isn’t it!

| Adrak/ Ginger |
Speaking
of flavours, Adrak vali chai / Ginger tea is a perfect pick me up and ginger has
its own healing properties and so is Masala chai. Its fragrant, its spiced its
sweet, its soothing and I bet you will fall in love with this one. If you have
tried chai latte in one of the local coffee shops you know what I am talking
about but this recipe is far more authentic. So whether it’s a windy rainy day,
cold winter day or nice and sunny stand by the window and sip some masala chai
and relax…
