   This turned out really good! I also added 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon and 2 cloves for extra spice!

   Hi Amitha,

   We have had pretty good results with Red Label tea (available at Indian grocery stores). My mom uses Wag/Bakri (sp?), and she says its a little stronger.

   Hi Sanjana,
   The pan is from the US, Bed Bath and Beyond. I have also seen similar ones at Kohl’s as well. They are available in India as well.

    Hi Subha,

    I usually use 2% milk for tea. Since we mix it with water, it gives the right amount of creaminess. There is no hard and fast rule though…some people use whole milk and there are even some who use less than 2%.

    Thanks a lot Hetal. I used 1% milk, and still it came out so good. I am sure 2% would be the best for making tea in your way.

    Love
