Doodh Patti Chai, is a milky version of tea, that has it’s origins from the Indian Subcontinent. One of many ways in which chai is prepared and enjoyed in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Nepal. Doodh translates to MILK, while Patti literally means “LEAF”. Leaf as in TEA LEAVES. What to expect from this tea? A relaxing, soothing cup of creamy tea, simply made by brewing Milk, Tea Bags (Or Loose Tea) and Sugar. For a slight variation, and not to confuse it with Masala/Karak Chai, a single spice like cardamom pods, which is optional, may be added to the chai brew.
This version of Tea. had been a firm favourite in my family. And Doodh Patti Chai was my late mums favourite way to enjoy her chai. I hadn’t made this for a long time now, until recently, I had been taken over by nostalgic memories that made me do it. It was a perfect cuppa, on a cold winters day.
