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!!!
