Spicy Turmeric Chai Latte
Turmeric milk is also known as golden milk not just because of its bright colour but numerous health benefits. This turmeric chai latte sounds exotic and even tastes exotic. It is a beautiful concoction of milk, tea leaves, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and milk. When we said spicy, it is because of the flavour spices put into this chai for elevating its taste.
Butter Chai
Butter chai may sound weird, but it tastes amazing. You can find this delicious tea in almost all hills dominated by Buddhist monasteries. This tea is salty and buttery in taste. Some like it while some don’t. But those who haven’t tried should do it right away.
Meter Chai
Tamil Nadu is known for serving the tastiest filter coffee, but it serves some amazing tea as well. This amazing tea from Tamil Nadu is made in coffee style. Boiled tea is kept in a brass pot and when ordered, the tea is put into a steel tumbler that has milk. So, we will now ask for one-meter chai instead of one cup, okay?
Irani Chai
This Persian-influenced chai is from Hyderabad and has a unique flavour. This amazing tea has also been featured in a Bollywood song. Those who know, know. Hyderabad is not only famous for serving Irani chai but also famous saffron tea. Next time when you are in Hyderabad, don’t forget to have these teas.
