Chai
How to make Chai the easy way:
Serves One, things you'd need: A small stock pot, a cup, tea bags(Taj Mahal, or Yellow label), if you are using loose tea leaves, you'd need a tea strainer, a small tea spoon, sugar and an attitude to enjoy every bit of your chai like a hyderabadi.
Take a clean pathila (I'd like to call) aka as stock pot preferably a smaller one,
measure half cup milk and half cup water
Add 2-3 tea bags,
bring it to to boil, try not to boil over the pathila.
Pour it in your fave cup, add sugar, bang all done.
Elaichi (Cardamom)wali chai or Adrak (ginger) ki chai: Same process as above, except, you'd add either elaichi (cardamom) or Adrak along with the tea bags and let it brew with the chai.
If you are making chai in leisure:
Bring water to a full boil, then add your loose tea leaves, or tea bags, add that half cuppa milk, bring it to a boil again. You may either add sugar to the pathila or to the cup as per your liking.
Serve it in your fave cup, enjoy every sip of it. Imagine you are in the train to Jaipur, soaking in the sights that only a trian ride in india can bring, open a book and go on your trip.
