A few notes on tea in India:- In India, the method of preperation is this a) add the water, tea and masala to the pot and let it boil for a while b) Then add milk and sugar and bring it to a boil This might be heresy for British people, but it's how we Indians drink it Also, there are lot of roadside tea vendors called chai wallahs that sell tea. Since roadside tea stalls are limited in the number of utensils they can use, the vendor usually uses just one pot to make lots of cups. He starts a pot, and starts vending the tea. When the supply becomes low, he simply adds more water, sugar, tea and milk into the pot. He keeps on adjusting the ingredients as he goes along while using the color of thhe tea as a guide to tell him when the tea is "done". This has an added advantage for the chaiwallah because the batches after the first one require less tea. This style of tea is called Kadak (literally "hard") because the end result is generally stronger. A lot of people who are used to drinking Kadak chai mimic this by slow boiling the tea after adding the milk Also, if you are a regular at a chaiwallah in Mumbai and ask for a "cutting", he will give you a 3/4 cup for half price.
