tea bag or loose tea?
What brand?
do u brew tea desi style or English? if English, how long do you brew it?. Do you add milk afterwards?
I’ve been using Lipton Red Label tea bags for a while. I brew it English style for three minutes.
does doodh pati give you stomach upset?
Twinning Earl Grey-Tea bags :k: Best tea ever made!
Tetley tea bags r good. We use whatevers available. SOmetimes we brew teabags too, or add loose tea to the coffee pot and let boiling water drip over it thru the coffee machine. I could so do with a tea of cup right now.
We used to use Tetley tea bags in England. Over here though, it just doesn’t taste the same. Now we use Red Rose and is it ever yummy. 
My dad got unbagged tea a few months back. I don’t know what brand it was … it also tasted very good but was too complicated for me to make. 
Oh, and the first time I ever made tea, I set the teabag on fire. 
Tetley? That’s even worse than what’s that brand… yeh, Lipton. 
Tetley isnt strong enough for my desi taste buds.
At home we use Red Label. I like using the Earl Grey stuff and i usually make chai by karhing it (letting it simmer for some time).
And no fungo, doodh patti doesnt give me a upset tummy.
Forgot to add: if you ever get a chance to go to the Middle East, their Lipton is THE best tea ever. It tastes very different than the Lipton availible here and is darn good. I am sure Ravage knows what i am talking about.
Has anybody tried Turkish tea? It’s sooooooo yummy!!!
Especially how they drink it in those little glasses.
Yes Turkish tea is yummy indeed. They just pour boiling water thru a strainer filled with loose tea and add lots of sugar me thinks.
'me thinks'
'I could so do with a tea of cup '
and did you make fun of my has and have?
anyway, someone please tell me if I can make the process any better...
i boil water
add a tea bag to a muggaaah placed on the counter
pour boiling water on top
set the timer to 3 minutes
heat up regular vitamin D whole milk for 30 seconds
add sugar and the warm milk
get rid of the tea bag
Why don't you boil the teabag in the water for around 20-30 minutes (time depends on how many teabags/water you use)?
Then when it's ready, you can pour it into a cup and add either regular cold milk or boiled milk to it. I don't like boiled/hot milk.
20 to 30 minutes for a cup of tea?. What are you cooking? cow feet?

is this how you make your tea???Are you serious??You seem so knowledgeable in cooking, you are killing me by telling me thats how you make your tea.
Pure Pakistani Style: Pour half water and half milk in a saucepan. Add tea bag and sugar. If you are feeling extra fancy, add a cardamom pod and a small piece of cinnamon stick. Boil once and simmer for about 5 mins. Serve in a muggaaahh.
The not-so-desi style: Boil water. Add tea bag in a mug and pour hot water. Let is sit for a couple m ins. Add evaporated milk and sugar and serve.
wellll, it depends how much you are making and if your cooker is on slow/fast/whatever.
I make it for 3 people, 2 tea bags, lots of water and just let it boil on 'low' or 'slow' until it bubbles. It's nice and strong.
Dear Ira, what is so different and unbelievable in my method and what you stated under English style of tea?. It's almost the same except for evaporated milk.
Nazo, do you add tea bags to cold water?

I guess I dont like microwaved chai or chai with the "real" milk unless it has been simmered for a while.

FG I am licensed to distort whatever I wish however I wish.
p.s. The 'tea of cup' shows how badly I need tea and 'me thinks' reinforces it.
Me thinks you need a danda on your head to reinforce a dent to remind you later not to take panga wiz me.
Me thinks you just want to get ur hands on me. Back off creep and go hide in ur stinky mod forum. You're no longer one of us, but one of them!
