Answer: they\u2019re all made better with tea.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, there\u2019s rarely an occasion that doesn\u2019t go hand in hand with a cuppa.

Every chai wallah (tea maker) has their own recipe, but it typically includes cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon and black pepper. According to Ayurveda, an ancient health system from the Indian subcontinent, chai supports all three doshas (energies within the body) and enhances digestion, among other benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Travelling in <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/india\">India<\/a> can be chaotic.

They\u2019re also social hubs \u2013 a meeting place for people from all walks of life. Several people usually gather at once as the chai wallah works their magic over a big pot. When it\u2019s ready, they pour the mixture repetitively between two jugs from an impressive height to froth and cool the tea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/india\/india-real-food-adventure-160599\">Try authentic chai, chapatis and chaat on Intrepid\u2019s India Real Food Adventure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Dinner in the Bedford household was served fashionably late, so the Dutchess would request a tray of tea, cake, and bread and butter in the late afternoon to curb her hunger. She then invited friends to join her, and it wasn\u2019t too long before the trend caught on across London.<\/p>\n<p>The long robes, gloves and fancy hats may be a thing of the past, but afternoon tea has become a timeless tradition to keep the afternoon hunger at bay. Picture dainty cups and saucers, a piping pot of English breakfast tea, and tiered trays of cakes, scones and crustless sandwiches.

From the busy bazaars of Istanbul to the sleepy villages of Cappadocia, you\u2019ll see locals sipping from tulip-shaped glasses in every corner of the country. Whether deep in conversation or locked into a game of backgammon, \u00e7ay will always be there.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c7ay is a robust black tea grown on the picturesque Black Sea coast. It\u2019s brewed in a unique two-tiered kettle called a \u00e7aydanl\u0131k. The leaves steep in the upper pot while the water boils below, allowing the tea to be diluted to the desired strength. It\u2019s usually drunk without milk and sweetened with sugar cubes. For folks who prefer caffeine-free beverages, apple tea is also a popular drink, especially after dinner.<\/p>\n<p>If a friendly face waves at you while you\u2019re exploring the bazaars, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019re inviting you in for a glass of \u00e7ay.
