To be very candid, I was never a tea person and preferred only occasionally when it rained heavily or it was cold, or  may be with hot fritters or when I felt like having a cup of chai just like that …but of late I have started enjoying it like never before in a BIG mug sipping the hot brewed tea…(may be my bong instinct )… Trust me, it’s so revitalizing.  Some prefer it strong; some prefer it sweet and milky. Some like plain tea, while some prefer ginger tea or masala chai. I prefer my tea very light, brewed strongly with crushed ginger & a little tint of milk & almost negligible sugar. If served with spongy tea-cakes or cookies I would simply be delighted. At breakfast I have it usually with a buttered toast or a croissant…and it is a super energizer for the rest of my day!!

Tea, if had in nominal capacity is not injurious, but if someone gets addicted it’s dangerous due to it’s caffeine content, though it’s comparatively less than coffee. We at home have always been loyal to our old brand Brooke Bond, my mom says it gives a very good liqueur . However, I also like Taj Mahal chai which adds a distinct taste to my penchant for tea. With changing times and to cater to tea-fanatics’ altering tastes like me we find an assortment of flavours and kinds of tea these days. Green Tea seemingly is very good for the stressed mind and body and is not harmful due to it’s antioxidant properties.  I prefer it having after a rich meal and it surely makes me feel lighter!!!

Well, today morning for a change cooked myself a nice cheese omlette topped with butter ofcourse along with my favourite adraki chai
