Thats how spicy it is :)I used a green chilli equal in size to the one shown, and used the same method mentioned in their recipe here but skipped the ginger as my tea masala has enough of it. The method is just the way I usually make my tea and the green chilli was a surprise guest. It did not add direct heat but you will surely feel it in your throat as you enjoy your tea. The heat is not the kind which makes you gulp water by the bottle-fulls, but that which makes you look forward to the next sip. I guess I was also lucky in the size of chilli I used, I had absolutely no clue how it would turn out when I dropped it in the water :))
EnjoyHere is my previous post on tea, its a masala tea made from fresh ingredients instead of tea masala.

You should have seen me tip-toeing into the kitchen and trying to bring out my tea pan from beneath a pile of so many others !! Murphy's law thru n thru. It took me the longest time to get this cup of tea ready :))
hmmm....how come I see a monkey hovering on the tree at this time of the night...Policeeeeeeee
Now that you have that caffeine punch, what are your plans for the rest of the night? ;) Movie? Blog patrolling?
haha...yup..on the job already..just passed by your blog :)) :)) I see I have good company here :P
Jeez! Keep the noise down, will ya?! I heard your racket all the way over the plains!
Chilli in your chai is like a quick fix - no need for those deep fried pakodas! Will put it in the morning chai for my husband tomorrow and watch him leap several feet in the air. :-D
Sshhhh...stop yelling..my roomie is gonna wake up !
Now theres a reason to wake up early tomorrow :)) Live cam available ?? As for me, I hope I get some sleep atleast !! Live cam available ??
Arrey! If they slept through the banging of pots, they won't hear me!
As for livecam, he fought with my camcorder the other day - for hours and got it to work as a webcam. Why, you might ask. To show my daughter's plantar warts to my sister at a higher resolution. People set up webcams for all kinds of reasons, we do it for warts. Seriously.

Two consecutive blogs..and the same green cute thing in their chai. You are HOT. Wouldn't dare to put chili yet, happy with my adrak
Some people don't sleep and don't let others sleep.
What can I tell you? Do I complain or should I be grateful? I stumbled out of bed to dash around madly and put together a gift for the teacher as today is the last day of school. And as I wrote the thank you note, a steaming hot cup of tea was put down next to me. I think he reads your blog. Hmmmph!
I am grateful. I am grateful. I want piping hot tea like that every day!
Manisha, My camcorder has long forgotten it can capture videos, I have been using it like a cam for sooo long now !! I was late in the morning & hardly had time to gulp some water for breakfast :)) Do u need anything else from him, let me know, I will post it here ;)

Hi,
nice post for sore throat and headache time .Thanks for posting dear...
Chilli in Chai? Now that is Garam Garam :-)
Dear Priya,
Must tell you the tea cups look good! I also liked the chilli twist in J&B's recipe. Thanks for making a reference to it. I remember years ago, Someone served me a glass of rose syrup (diluted with chilled water) and spiced it with a chilli. It was awesome, and when the rim of the tumbler is steeped in salt, even better.
Pritya: You must try this tea...its was awesome. I love the cup too :)
The rose syrup drink sounds really divine...I will have to try it !
Chai, Garam Chai. Brings back memories for desis in pardes!
Thanks for sharing this..as we all know spices makes yourlife rich with its natural aroma and those spices need to be authentic like what Trupery is all about..
