Tea is undoubtedly the favourite drink of India. It is, in fact, more than just a drink. It is a cult. There’s something magical about a kullad of steaming chai made on a roadside stall on a wet day. Tea drinking in India is more of a social act, an excuse to sit back and relax.
Coffee might be its fashionable cousin that plays cupid for youngsters, but there’s no beating the good old charm of a warm cup of tea. No matter how hot it might get, we will still drink that cup of chai after putting the AC at the lowest. If it rains by any chance during the summer, chai and pakodas it is! We Indians just need an excuse to have our favourite cup of chai.
