      For the Kashmiri tea, it was rude to say this was the longest time you’ve taken to make tea. You reiterated it many times. Pls realise people invest time in sharing recipes with you, and without their recipes your UA-cam channel can’t get anywhere. If you don’t like a recipe a suggestion is don’t make it, but don’t be rude this way. I always like your content but I was pretty disappointed by what you said. Unsubscribing right away. I didn’t mean to be rude, but I’m just being direct. I hope you take a positive feedback from this and don’t depict this behaviour again.

      Why is your ad so weird? You keep saying "organic materials" but only mention cotton...and you say THAT when saying that it's fair trade certified which you for some reason define as meaning that it uses organic cottons. That is NOT what fair trade means in any way whatsoever!

    Just a note for the captions: I believe what the Canadian says is "justice for Wet'suwet'en", which is an indigenous nation that has been fighting for years against a pipeline that was constructed without proper consultation with them (it goes through their land and dangerously close to their water supply, and consultation with indigenous folks of a region is a legal requirement here).

    1. I dun think one can make noon chai with any green tea. We, at least in Jammu and Kashmir, use specific kind of tea leaves to make noon chai which is also called as desi chai in Jammu parts of Jammu and Kashmir.
    2. Noon chai or desi chai as we call it in the parts where I come from, can be had sweet. That’s sugar and no salt.
    3. I agree that you need to boil it for long (and that’s why I hardly ever make it), but you dun need to stir it constantly. You put everything in a saucepan, put it on a low flame and forget about it for about 1 hour. Occasional stirring is all that’s required.
    4. Noon chai (salty one) takes some time to get used to. It’s best had with buttered Kashmiri roti. And the sugary version (desi chai) is best had with rusk. Give it another chance maybe. This time with right kind of green tea leaves.
    Cheers!

    Rooibos is really good "tea", i especially enjoy it hot or cold in the summer months when it's humid heat.
    Also, i recommend adding a single slice of ginger to the jujube+goji drink just for a little warming quality. the 3 things combined are (according to TCM practitioners) a good tonic for that time of the month for women, and an alternative to drinking it as a sweet tea, is to use those 3 things to boil chicken soup (or replace ginger with ginseng, and add glutinous rice, which becomes the Korean samgyetang). There's a good many variations to these ingredients. Dried Longan fruit(aka gui-yuan), aged dried mandarin peels, dried Hangzhou white chrysanthemum flowers(hang-bai-ju), dried monkfruit, peach resin, Female ginseng (angelica sinensis) roots, etc... are all ingredients for tea-like concoctions for various uses, some cooling, some warming, all soothing for different purposes. There's also a black variant of the goji berries (with more antioxidants), from higher elevation parts of China, that makes for a really soothing drink when i was traveling in Siberia at below 30C down to almost -40C. Now that stuff is always in my cupboards.

      @@andreakirk2714 Yes, I should have said as much. I have a stainless frothing pitcher that I can heat on the range, which is how I get it warm. It's not _absolutely_ essential (and one manual frother I used to have strongly advised only using cold milk) but the fat holds onto the air much better when it's hot.

    Hi, Beryl. As a South African, I recommend that you leave the rusk in the tea to soak for a minute or two. Then it should be nice and soft... but since you have the thicker Ouma rusks, you might need to soak them for a while. 😊

    Hi Beryl! I commented on another of your videos when you'd said you couldn't find unsweetened Condensed Milk in your stores, but I forgot to say that it's marketed as "evaporated" milk. Both are simmered until 60% reduced. The difference in flavor and texture both come from the addition of sugar to the Condensed version. I LOVE tea, and when I add dairy, it's almost exclusively evaporated milk because it's shelf stable until you open it, can be stored in the can in your fridge (with a little topper on it), and it takes up minimal space. If you still want creamy tea, with less of a sweet kick, try doing half Condensed Milk and half Evap... or all evaporated and use your sweetener of choice. Love your videos, and was so thrilled to see your PBS series! You are a "must watch" for me every time 💞

    You really have to try North German East Friesian Tea. You can get it in this Reagion. Its a special Blend of Black Tea ist served with creme and "Kluntje" ( a Sugar Crystal in size od a Sugar Cube) . The Way its Served makes it very special , my Grandpartens taught me how to drink it and I love it. Put a Raw Sugar crystal in a small Tea Cub , fill it with Tea and add a teaspoon of Cream into it. Dont stir it. You need a special spoon for it with a laddle. The magic is lat the Cream sink down to the ground a wait a bit. When made all right you have this classic "wölkchen" , Cloud in the Tea Cup. This helps to cool down the tea while the sugar dissolved. When the hot tea gets poored into the cub the sugar makes this typical cracking sound like glass. All Part of the ritual .
    I personally love Cold Mate Tea and Hot Strong brewed Earl Grey Tea with Milch ( since I made Blubble Tea myself I have fallen in Love with Milk Tea)

    My favourite teas are green teas usually from japan or korea (including matcha), on it's own or with brown rice, then pu erh,oolong,some black teas like earl grey or ceylon. I like just the pure tea not adding anything apart from water to it, except when I drink a breakfast tea or a chai (spiced tea) from time to time.
    Then if the tea plant is not involved I enjoy a lot of herbal tisanes or infusions and grain ones like barley or corn ones.
    Although I usually dont like fruit teas I might like the goji and date one from hongkong as I like those by its own and I loved a korean pear cinnamon and date one and also their traditional persimmon cinnamon and ginger one^^

    Noon Chai I feel is one of those classic traditional preparations where all the women from extended families gathered in the afternoon to chat and while away time while doing other chores and make that brew (back in the day I assume, when women mostly were housewives).
    It's interesting to hear about tethani! I'm from Sri Lanka and had no idea such a name exist for tea made with condensed milk. We sort of just say kadè thè (shop's tea. Since they use condensed milk instead of milk powder and sugar separately). Thank you for sharing all this.

    Im from Greece and the tee we are making here is called "tsai" and it is closer to the last recipe. We use either leafs or smal flowers, whitch are collected from mountains. We boil them with water. When the water is hot enough we drain the leafs off. Serve with honey or milk or by its self and you are done. Of corse there is also the tee bag option but if we are talking about an actual tee recipe this is it. Fun fact we dont have tee partys, we drink tee for its deneficent propertys when we are sick to become better.

Yes, it took quite some time but I had a lot of it afterwards and was very pleased with the result ♥ I highly recommend trying it!
