Cutting Chai Recipe

Cutting Chai Recipe

Cutting Chai is a popular Indian tea, primarily enjoyed in the western part of the country. It's made from a blend of strong tea leaves, milk, and spices, and is usually served in small, half-cup portions. The name "Cutting Chai" comes from the practice of "cutting" or diluting the tea with water to make it more affordable and accessible to the masses.
