How do you like your Doodh Chai?

[Grevion]

I like my morning tea with some biscuits as it drives all that morning grumpiness away from me.
The evening tea is best with some Namkeen/spicy Indian snacks or a Masala tea.

well, mine depends on mood, outside temperature and availability in a location.

with milk ( masala as prepared, but earl grey and all - two tea bags and boiled with the milk ), without milk ( earl grey and all - single tea bag ), sulaimani, some cold teas i got introduced to recently ( litchi was one flavor i drank that day, the other flavor i don't remember ).

share your choices.

our chinese friend, @Chinese Bamboo , once said in that decided tea thread in 'members club' that for chinese, tea with milk is milk ( )... she should be introduced to desi teas.

In summers i prefer light with lot of cream and sugar in winters i like strong black tea with less milk but still a ton of sugar
And occasionaly kashmiri tea if i want something really sweet with pista and almonds on top(zafran too if its available)

Kehwa only on eid after consuming too many seekh kababs
And green tea only after food poisoning

I DON'T wreck my tea (usually a Darjeeling, sometimes, an Earl Grey, when a change seems indicated) with milk.

No, not at all.

Though I have to admit that when I was gifted some Chinese green tea, and started drinking it, after the initial strangeness, it quite grew on me. I never realised that green tea could be so pleasant. Sadly, I still haven't got the hang of (i) concentration (no. of spoons in the pot); (ii) brewing time (no. of minutes to soak in just-off-the-boil water) for this rather interesting tea.

Back in the college days I used to love the cutting chai. After I moved to US I discovered different types of coffee and was hooked. After getting married, my wife introduced to me different types of tea's and I started developing the taste for tea. Now I keep my coffee intake down to half a cup in the morning and another half after work. At work I drink about two to three cups of green tea, white tea, some times those weird herb mixes of green and black tea. I will still buy a big box of red label brooke bond from Indian grocery store and time and again make the Mumbai style tea with cardamom, ginger, and milk with my wife cringing at the entire affair.

Whats not to love about pink tea though its not recommended for summer use in hot climates

For summer a gharhi teez patti chai with less milk,more sugar is your best friend

Though my fav summer drink is mango banana mix milk shake

Qahwa looks like

Your best friend after 20 swekh kababs

More of a coffee drinker mate, have never tasted tea till date

You sir need to try peshawari qahwa and pink tea atleast once in your life trust me you will love it

It is indeed quite a pleasant drink. Green Tea did wonders for my aunt suffering from diabetes (I still don't believe there is any connection between the two).
LOL. I think most of us have the same problem Joe, that's why nobody trust me with Green Tea because it will either be too strong or will just be a glass of boiled water.

Mate do you have any info about the demand of South Indian coffee in UK I heard its pretty good.
