We are British and of Indian origin which means that our hot tea (with milk)/chai drinking is really rooted in our heritage, culture, background, basically in all that we are, (when I say we, here I mean my husband and I). When we arrived in Texas we were astonished to find that some people had never heard of drinking hot tea (with milk), imagine our shock, our horror!
We have since introduced a few Texans to hot tea with milk (well, okay one). We switched cable/internet service providers, they had to come out to connect it all up and the nice guy that came out, entered our home just as the kettle was switched on (serendipity, happy coincidence, fate or kismet?). As he had never had a cup of hot tea (with milk), we offered him one and he accepted. It was a chilly day (yes they do happen in Dallas, once in while!) and so he really appreciated the hot drink. He really enjoyed it, and we polished off his cultural experience, by offering him a chocolate digestive - we showed him how to dunk. Jigna.
