First Food and Drink Experiences: Chai Tea


I was binge-watching a Turkish television series, set in 19th century Istanbul, and in one of the scenes, the man offered a drink to the two ladies at the table with him. Neither lady trusted him but they didn't want to be rude, so they accepted the cup that he poured. He said that people should be willing to experiment and try new things and that he wanted to introduce them both to a new drink he discovered from India. Chai tea!

As I'm watching the program, I'm going: “Oh! Oh! Chai tea! I know what that is!!”

My husband is from The Bahamas, but he needed to stop drinking coffee for health reasons and started trying different types of teas. In the course of his experimentation, he discovered chai tea and introduced it to me.

I must say it does have an exotic flavor. I like it!

~ Any chai tea drinkers out there?

~ Are there different ways you choose to enjoy this delicious combination of herbs and spices in drink form?

I found a turmeric-chai-latte recipe.

Do you have you own chai tea recipe?  Recipe Sharing.
