I ❤ Tea! There is no other way of saying it. I really love my tea. Growing up in India, that was the 'family beverage'. We all drank tea (or chai as we called it) and reveled in its refreshing, healthy taste! From the small cafes to five star hotels, from a gossip-filled afternoon with friends to the high tea at Prime Minister's residence! (Seriously, I have lived an interesting life!! Exhibit A: The picture below!)(* I also host pretend tea parties for ponies, Cindrella dolls and Olivia the pig every weekend. A lot of help is provided by my 7 year old daughter!!)
If the chai-latte or spiced chai is too strong for you, try brewing you own version - you can control what spice you put it in. Start with Bigelow Earl Grey tea. Simple boil some water with a little piece of ginger (smashed or grated) and couple of pods of Indian cardamom. Pour the boiled (now flavored) water in a cup and steep the tea bag for 3-5 minutes. Add sugar and milk as desired! Nirvana!
Tea is not only a tasty beverage, it is healthier than other sugary drinks and beverages. I am not a soda drinker and avoid sugary juices as much as I can. For the quick pick me up, a cup of tea is my savior! During the New York Fashion Week earlier this month where I was freelancing for couple of publications, I was running from one show to another, taking pictures, editing my stories on the go. Who has time to run to the coffee shop to get the high-calorie, sugary drink? I carried my own home-brewed sweet tea in the portable bottle nicely tucked in my tote!
