Hey calm Down
when I was at a friends home this is how HE made it OK !
and he WAS Indian.
And Further more I Don't make assumptions I know what I seen with my own eyes. >:(




That is honestly a first!!  I am saying this because I am indian...i think in the Uk there are lots of pakistanis and bangladeshis - perhaps it is something they do - i am not saying they do because I dont know.  it seems in the UK all asians are referred to as indians when "indians" refers to those from India only for the rest of the world.

What i mean to say in other words is because 1 person you know does that, you cannot assume it is an "indian" thing to do.  I am sure many people can speak up and say they have never had tea made that way!  I am saying I know hundreds of indians who make tea and nobody has ever done that....maybe its a religious thing as I dont know too much about other religion's eating habits than my own.
I just dont think it is fair to generalize like that.

What it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chai_tea

and some recipes

http://www.odie.org/chai/recipes.html

Ive also drunk tea in indians houses and its a nice drink, not something
id want to drink in the morning though. You can buy ready made
masalas which you add your milk based products to, but i havent found
one thats as good as one made by an "indian"  :D

so many variations of making tea!  but i didnt see any using the condensed milk!  I agree, those spice packets for chai masala are ok but nothing beats masala chai made with freshly ground spices!!!  I have found masala chai tea bags to be quite ok as a substitute.

Hi paast10,

I know of thousands of Indians and others who have tea like this, here in Malaysia there are rows and rows of condensed milk in the supermarkets and it mostly used for making Teh Tarik which I am afraid I find disgusting. Imagine a 1/2 pint mug  1/4 filled with sweetened condensed milk add three spoons of sugar top up with stewed tea which is made from tea dust, they then put pour it into a big jug and pour it backwards and forwards about 5 or 6 times so it froths up and then serve...They even have competitions for best pourer..Don't believe me see..

http://202.186.86.35/special/online/usjweb/usjteh.htm note  "Often found in Indian hawker stalls or restaurants"

Cheers

Jockomalay
