Of Tea, Just Tea, Milk, 0 Sugar..

Tea.
Another lifetime ago, my tea was two teabags soaked in boiling water, with two teaspoons condensed milk. There was a tough love moment when my family threatened to dump the condensed milk in the bin. They gave in and merely hid it.
I’d felt so sorry for friends drinking sugarless milk tea, sometimes dunking ginger nut biscuits and exclaiming how delicious that was.
Exactly when the transition occurred, I have no idea.
But now, I am officially a born-again tea enthusiast.
When I get home from work, I make myself a steaming cup of
Sugarless milk tea with
Watawala Kahata Ceylon loose black tea.
And sipping it in my terracotta mug is divine.
Thaya doesn’t this bring back memories of sipping tea from tiny terracotta pots at 4am on Dashashwamedha Ghat on the banks of the Ganges in Kashi/Varanasi/Benares, 30 years ago?
