OK. Now I'm really in the kitchen. Yesterday we were in Nicole's guesthouse making tomato source pasta for dinner, suprisingly it turned out to be very tasty Asian spaghetti for none of us (amy, me and candy) really cooked it before. I only vaguely remember the steps and ingrediences from cookbook long time back but it proved itself that every way leads to Rome :p
Off the track again. Now I want to introduce a very simple recipe: how to make Chai (Indian tea). Since I don't do complicated cooking, this recipe is for those who know how to turn on the burner to boil water. That's enough.
Ingredience:
- package or bottle milk: 4 glasses
- drinking water: 1 glass
- tea dust (better) or tea bag (red label, don't use green tea label): 4-5 tea bags
- some cardomon, cinnemon: to taste
- brown or white suger: to taste
Steps:
- Mix milk and water, put tea bags (or tea dust) in this mix, also cardomon, cinnemon (to taste), then boil them together. Stir them continuously.
- Put some suger (to taste) before this mix is boiling.
- After it's boiling, turn off the fire. Done.
This time I didn't use spices like cardomon & cinnemon (or ginger, black peper) for I didn't have those in my friend's kitchen @_@. But it's already good enough for the first time.. haha..
:: sorry.. we finished it before taking snapshot.. no photo :p

Dear S, now you can prepare by yourself :))
At Chennai’s office, we have a canteen at ground floor offering better tea (2 rupees for each) than the tea from “café day” machine (since we don’t pay for this…nothing to complain about :p) Last time I went into the tiny little canteen to see how they made “special tea” for us: I saw him adding many chopped spices (giner, cardamom maybe…and some other unidentified objects… :Q) which turned out to be very good tea… but not as good as what we have in Mumbai’s office. The ginger tea is really amazing; to be precise, it’s not that kind of ginger tea (boil ginger with water then put a lot of sugar) we have in Taiwan; it’s Indian chai with ginger. Smells very good.
Especially the airconditioning in our temporary office is extremely strong, having that ginger tea would keep me warm for a while ;)
