Chai - literally “tea” in many languages - is an integral part of India’s rich tea culture, deep-rooted in everyday life. Tea is the most flourishing and influential division of the economy in India. Chai is consumed several times a day in India and other countries and has become a social ritual for many, making the ritual more important that the actual taste/consumption. It is a family tradition in India to welcome your guests with cups of Chai, and every family has their own recipe and preparation method.
With peaches being so seasonally available, you should not pass up the opportunity to make this incredibly refreshing beverage to share with your family and friends.
