Tea Week day one: Milk, three sugars and a bit of spice




Palolem/ Train station somewhere/ Mangalore. India 2010


Having cast off the nastier aspects of colonial rule, there are some British traditions that India continues to embrace: the sport of cricket, a comprehensive if unreliable rail network, and the notion that one should never be too far from a good cup of tea. Whether it's from a restaurant, a roadside stall or a man carrying a vat down the aisle of a train and shouting 'chai', chai is always available. It's made with milk, lots of sugar and a spice mixture that varies from season to season and region to region.
