Tea is the most popular beverage in the world after water. When you say Tea these days you are reminded of Nilofour cafe which is popular across the world.

We also remember PM Modi and the Chaiwala background.

He is serving the tea from Rs 40 to Rs 1000. International Tea Day is observed annually on May 21. The day is an opportunity to celebrate the cultural heritage, health benefits and economic importance of tea, according to the Food And Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

If you love tea, this day is perfect for you to sip on the different varieties of tea from around the world. While a simple tea is prepared by steeping in boiled water over the leaves of the tea plant, the world of tea varieties has broadened, offering multiple recipes and ways of consumption.

A cup of hot Masala Chai is enjoyed by many Indians first thing in the morning to kick-start their day, or in the evenings to unwind and relax. Allam Chair or Adrak Chai is popular in Hyderabad and also Telangana.

It also pairs well with biscuits, breads or Indian snacks like pakoras. Masala Chai is made by first boiling water and adding whole spices like green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger and fennel seeds.

Then tea leaves are added and the mix is allowed to brew. Next, milk is added and the tea brews for some more time till the desired colour is achieved. Many people also add sugar or jaggery to sweeten their cup of Masala Chai.
