When is a Tea more than just a T ?

Anytime I see a packet of biscuits (cookies) I remember my childhood and tea which my mom shared with me. Being the younger child had its own advantage- I got to drink tea the same time as my brother (the poor first born!!) . Tea was fun because we could dunk-in the biscuits and eat them by the dozen. I think I did more dunking and less drinking. While we were growing up nobody dunked cookies in milk as they do here.

Tea is just as much fun as an adult and it has taken on a few different flavors of its own. I do use some extra-special chocolate flavored tea which one can find only in Hyderabad (where I grew up) . I also make Indian tea mostly when my friends visit. So we get to chat-n- chai(chai is another name for tea). All that warmth of tea makes for a cozy, warm, and friendly atmosphere. The sweetness of tea and cookies and good company of friends is the best recipe for lovely memories and fun visits, don't you think?
