Indian summers are hot and I mean....really hot. But even in the heat my family never stopped drinking their 4'0 clock chai. Yes we did add more cool Indian drinks like mango panna (chilled raw mango), chaas (cold watered down yogurt drink) to keep ourselves hydrated through out the day but hot chai never stopped being on the daily menu. While I was contemplating our spring/summer iced tea/chai specials I came across this article while doing some research which actually says that your body will be cooler in some circumstances if you actually drink hot drinks when the temperatures are soaring. Wonder if my parents were onto something :).
We debuted our iced tea this Sunday and it was well received. Adding more Indian flavors in the coming weeks. Watch this space for more! Our hot chai sold out once again..wonder if people visiting the market read the same article before they came ;).
