About Tea made in milk and sugar

Tea made in milk and sugar is a rich, indulgent beverage popular in South Asian cuisines, particularly in countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, where it is commonly known as "chai." This preparation involves boiling black tea leaves with milk, water, and sugar, often resulting in a creamy, sweet brew. While traditional versions may include spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, or ginger for added flavor and potential health benefits, the base remains milk, sugar, and tea. Consuming tea made with milk provides a source of calcium and protein from the milk, while black tea contains antioxidants like polyphenols that may support heart health and improve focus. However, the added sugar can contribute to higher calorie content and may be unsuitable for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Moderation is key for enjoying this popular beverage within a balanced diet.
