After lunch at work we sometimes face the heat and go out for tea. As you may have seen on my Instagram story, today was one of those days (and I am here to say I did not melt away).
There are small vendors out on the street right outside the office:
We had LAL CHA (red tea). It cost 5 taka (0.06 € / $)
Milk Tea is also available. I’ll have that one next time so I can show you.
Green lemon, ginger & sugar are added to hot water with a tea bag (usually Ceylon).
Can you guess what the other ingredient is ? (those little black things flotting)
…
Black cumin seeds, whose oil is said to have many benefits for health & beauty.
Do you ever use Black Cumin Seeds? I’d be curious to know how..

I am licking my lips just guessing what that tea might taste like-I am a coffee drinker so tea drinks(I do not drink ice tea or ice coffee for that matter) but love the mixture of elements of certain teas -like Moroccan mint tea-TRULY the best tea I ever had in Morocco in a small restaurant-so your tea excites me-I douse cumin seeds , as well as ground in cooking via recipes-mostly Indian and I like the layer of flavor added-cannot wait to hear about the milk tea
