Re: Meri problem ...
For desis use Tetley tea bags and Carnation (or store brand evaporated milk) milk to make tea. If you make tea using loose tea leaves its even better as its "taiz/karak" chai that people like more. But its usually a hassle to make it that way. You can add Tetley tea bags while the water is boiling to make the flavor seep out. I add the bags infact when I put teh water on to boil. When the water boils just pour the tea into cups or teapot sans the tea bags and add carnation. Don't add too much as more can be added if people want a whiter tea. One sure fire way of making people apprecaite your tea is to serve it in a teapot and milk jug (carnation) and sugar separatley the old fashioned way. Presentation does count, you know.
my family boils full cream milk to make it as Gharra as possible and seperatly, we make the teas from loose lipton team leaves, when the tea is ready we just add the really gharra full cream milk to it and the chai is really good.
