GINGER TEA/ADRAK WALI CHAI

GINGER TEA/ADRAK WALI CHAI
Adrak wali chai is my go to tea recipe whenever it is cloudy or I have an irritating throat, infact these days I am so addicted to adrak wali chai that I am having it 2 to 3 times a day.  I know I should go little easy with my chai indulgence!!!

We Indians love to have chai/tea at any time; all day every day.  The internet is flooded with “n” number of adrak wali chai recipes but believe me no tea tastes the same.  It depends on various factors like the quantity of milk, water, whether you use a tea leaf or tea dust, the duration you boil the tea or even when you add the sugar.



I like my chai strong with an overpowering after taste of ginger!!! 


It is almost lunch time and I am craving for a cup of hot adrak wali chai...Here’s my recipe for kadak adrak wali chai, do try it.
