Also referred to the as 'Green Tea Chai', it is the only green tea which can be relished with a dash of milk as well. Supremely rich in flavor with a delightful aroma of cinnamon & hints of cardamom, the tea is a perfect cup for those cold winter mornings. There are time when I miss my home town so much. Being near the foothills of Shiwalik mountain range and located on the banks of the river Yamuna it gets very cold during winters; the freezing Himalayan winds make the matters worse.Central heating was unheard of during those days and room heaters were not very popular either. To fight the chill we relied heavily on traditional ways to keep our body warm - thick heavy quilt for the nights and cups of tea and coffee during the day. Traditional concoctions were other ways to beat the winter chill - herbal infusion made with spices called 'kahda' is one such brew. My favourite used to a sweet creamy concoction made with dry ginger, which was Mom's special. She would give a tea spoon of it with a hot glass of milk. The other was a runny and delicious gruel made with gram flour. These two were given to us alternately every day each morning. So potent were the traditional concoctions that we never had flu or caught a cold or ever fell sick.
