Recipes : Time for Special Chais

Many a monsoon have been romanticised by images of curling up on a comfy couch, toes tucked under, with a book in hand and sipping on some soothing tea. We love our tea, especially in Hyderabad where the iconic Irani Chai is difficult to replicate at home. We have all kinds of teas - boiled, brewed, steeped, black, milky or green. Drinking tea is a beautiful activity. Each person has their own special recipe or favourite way of making their tea. Some teas are best with just a hint of sugar, some need to be brewed strong and brown to reach their full flavour, some others are soothing and have medicinal value. Whatever be the preference, try some of these recipes and have a quiet afternoon to yourself with a good book in hand
