K for Kitchen: WAH WAH CHAI

In India, no morning starts, no party begins, no office runs, no day ends, no relationship is complete, if no chai is there. Chai or tea is an integral part of lives of Indians whichever place they live in this world. Not only Indians, but today it is the second most consumed drink in the world, first being the water of course. So how could the kitchen of "K for Kitchen" would have been complete without making chai. So we present the recipe of our special chai and we have named it "Wah Wah Chai" as no one who loves Chai will resist from saying Wah Wah after drinking this chai.

Tea or Chai as is known today is said to have originated in China about 22,000 years ago. The Indian origin of tea is very latest in comparison to the Chinese tea and is believed to have originated about 2800 years ago. Although China and India remain the largest producers of tea in the world but now some variety of tea is grown in parts of England, Scotland, USA, and New Zealand. But needless to say, the most popular and preferred tea is the one grown in the north east part of India, especially the Assam tea. When Britishers came to India, they liked the tea so much that they started tea cultivation on commercial scale in large quantities. Today, the tea culture is very popular in England and other parts of the Europe.

Tea is not just a drink but has become a culture in many countries of the world. Many cultures have Tea parties and Tea ceremonies. Tea is not only consumed at homes on domestic basis but is also served to guests and is part of office culture too. The tea is drunk as concoction of tea leaves and in many countries it is mixed with milk and sugar. In India, it is the most popular street food. Every street, every corner of the country have tea vendors. And they are always busy. People drink tea a number of times in a day. From bed tea, to night tea, the whole day is full of all sorts of reasons for tea. Many memes are made on social media in relation to the reasons tea lovers have for having tea. Headache, mood off, mood good, celebration, break time, meeting, and best of all is that you do not need a reason for having tea. And if they happen to have consumed tea which didn't taste good, only a good tea can overcome that bad taste left in the mouth by the bad tea.
