From Oprah's Kitchen: The Beauty of Brewing the
Perfect Cup of Tea
In a
one-room home in India, Oprah learned just how powerful a cup of chai can be.
Two years
ago I met a family in India whose entire home consisted of one 10-by-10-foot
room. This husband and wife ate, slept, and raised their three daughters
crammed into a space so tiny, they didn't even have room to change their minds!
But they
did have chai.
As we sat
together on the floor of their living room/kitchen/playroom/bedroom, the
husband reached behind the scrap of cloth that curtained off most of their few
possessions, pulled out a tea set that had probably been around for
generations, and proceeded to brew me the most incredible cup of chai I've ever
experienced. Was it the pungent mix of spices or the openhearted welcome that
made it so unforgettable? I asked the man how he made it, but he only smiled
and said matter-of-factly, "Tea is just a part of our lives."
