india is chai

The day starts and ends with chai in India. Sometimes it is strong, sometimes too milky, usually very sweet and always boiling hot. It is served in teeny tiny tea cups, big coffee mugs, shot glasses, or take-away plastic dixie cups. A cup costs about 10 or 15 rupees, about 40 cents. There are tea stalls anywhere and everywhere and chai wallahs are the tea peddlers who wander around with a huge kettle, ready to pour.
 It all starts with a strong loose leaf black tea like Assam...simmer with milk, sugar and spices.
