I love
to drink tea and when it comes to masala tea, I love the blend of spices
infused together with the tea leaves makes me drink more and totally irresistible.
Tea is drunk in all parts of India, but made differently in each place. My
husband does not drink tea or coffee, I was like that until before marriage.
But after marriage things changed I started to fall in love with tea and
coffee. My father in law prefers to have cardamom/elachi & ginger tea but started to
have this masala tea and likes it a lot. Our families evening is complete only
if we all have a cup of delectable tea and have a chat.
