How to Make Hyderabadi Iranian Tea at Home
‘Chai’ or Tea is a pure Indian beverage sensation. Here are two stories to make this simple thing really special.
Here’s the deal behind its name, when the Persians visited Hyderabad; and the time is the one this special beverage was starting to originate; they bought along with this tea, without the basic milk in it. Their time while being here they adopted the staple foods of the city; the dairy products that were so largely found. Then was what? ‘The heavenly pour that makes the best tea for you today.’ When the two of these ingredients met each other from two different states of different countries it got its name; hence, The Hyderabadi Iranian Tea.
And here is my story-
My mother is a big fan of bed tea who keeps disturbing the folks of the house in the morning, but finally makes herself her own tea. We being moody little kids just make her happy once in a while. Those early mornings when we put up silent kitchen drills and she is sound asleep; and that big surprise smile even if she knows our motive. The real jar of happiness for our family – Chai Diaries. This morning I am definitely trying The Hyderabadi Iranian Tea recipe for her.
But there are many other drinks that we’ve covered in our blog. You should definitely check them as well.
1. Green Tea Shot– The classic Green Tea Shot (also known as a Jameson Green Tea) is a popular whiskey-based cocktail with peach schnapps. It’s actually an excellent balance of sweet and sour that can be especially refreshing in the summertime.
2. The Polar Express Hot Chocolate– The Polar Express reminds us of a hot chocolate cup that was served in the movie. No one knows how it exactly tastes. But I have a Hot Chocolate recipe that is you’ll definitely love like the Hero Boy loved his Hot Chocolate in the movie.
3. Café Latte– Drinking latte in Starbucks seems to be a fad nowadays. But not everyone can afford it. So, you won’t get deprived of the pleasure of drinking latte because you can make it at home easily using this recipe.
4. Pecan Milk– Pecans make an incredible nut milk. It’s nutty and tastes like, well, pecans—even more so if you use freshly roasted pecans instead of raw.
