One of the worst mistakes I have ever made, was having chai in India. Nothing in the states has ever come close to that experience. I have wanted to go back to India just to drink chai ever since.
The key to making a good cup of chai is to get black tea leaves and ruthlessly boil it! Then add milk and sugar and again, boil it! Boil it until all flavors have been extracted from those poor darn leaves. All the ginger, black pepper, cardamom, etc are add-ons. Chai is perfectly alright without them. I speaketh as a single professional with something always missing in kitchen (except for salt and 3 holy grail spices - red chilly powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder).
How is this revolutionary? I make traditional Indian chai at home with whole "fatty" milk almost everyday. It doesn't involve a secret or difficult recipe that requires extensive research from streetside shops in India.
Tom Marvolo Riddle It’s really difficult to create the same experience. The milk in America is really really different. I’ve had a lotta chai in both countries and the difference is mind blowing.
Tejas Kulkarni, I don't think I agree with that. Slightly watered Whole milk always works for me. It might not beat fresh milk, but certainly beats the tea we get at railway stations in India, and is a close enough approximation to streetside chaiwalas. Perhaps my taste buds aren't fine tuned enough to notice the difference. But given that this tea shop uses American whole milk too, I don't think there's something unique that tea stalls in India do that's hard to replicate.
@@thelonepainter4760 because life isn't that clear cut, dumbass. You make it seem as though people can't protest against injustices and also work hard. There are also people who just physically can't "work hard" as you would have them do due to many different factors. You sound ignorant.
@@ellieblunden1463 well, that sounds like excuses to me. Everyone and anyone has the ability to work hard, and get somewhere they love in life. People just need to want it, and put in work. Life is unforgiving, that's the reality. You work hard, you live well. Sorry but you think I sound ignorant, you sound just plain lazy or full of excuses.
Wait: Indian people setting up a cafe and serving good chai is revolutionary? Remedy has been spoiling Edmontonians for years! (Check it out if you're ever in the area - worth every penny, and they're celiac-friendly, too!)
What separates _THESE_ New York posers from every other vendor? Dial it back a bit, Broski... you're just selling a hot drink to yuppies. "Narrative" and steering the "conversation" is not really your avenue.
George But still, if he’s successful in recreating the chai in the US, it’s revolutionary. The milk here is very different so it’s almost impossible to get the same taste and texture. On a commercial scale, even more variables.

You went to India and didn’t have ONE cup of tea?!?! You cannot make the same chai in US because the milk is very different.
@@tejaskulkarni4579 is it that the milk is so different because cows in India are free?
Tea in India is called chai
Correction: Tea in Hindi is called Chai
Corrrection: chai in english is called tea.

Dude with the necklace, can he talk without too many "likes". Lol. Glad the older brother is articulate.
cesare bacchelli agree. He’s articulate enough to do things on his own. Hope he does.
Do you know what articulate means? Because they're both quite articulate.
Glad they aren't calling it "Chai Tea".
I drink like 3 chia teas a day. I love chai. I wish this was in my city!! Great work guys!!
That’s gonna cause a few health issues
@@benlittle8922 as im drinking one now.. ya. I know. Its called caffeine headaches. I have a problem. Haha

Well it's rare in New York.

Probably because most prosperous businesses are made by people who have nothing to do with the culture of the products.
@@yaaro6365 I would first taste their chai, then comment about how good it is, can be, and was the alleged research worth doing.
No Starbucks can beat cullad chai
Cool story. Thx for sharing it.
Good for Them 👍😊
btw I saw another shop opening another chai shop recently on some other channel.
wait looks like the same shop, they got good PR man
Jesus this channel is so effing woke.
Alex Daniel What’s the meaning of this slang?
@@tejaskulkarni4579 i think it means (claming) being spiritualy awake, here as pejorative.
Super authentic chai. Loved it!
Its amazing what hard work can do,instead of crying about life. 🤯 mind blowing.....
Hard work won't get you everywhere, bud.
@@ellieblunden1463 How so?

Carrera4K I agree, hard work pays off 👌🏼 ignore that insignificant person. I have no idea who spit in her Cheerios this morning.

There arent white
One of them literally went to India to do research on tea making.
@@nataliamontelongo2781 yeah, no he didn't. They went on vacation to visit family or something. You fell for the marketing BS.

Leave it up to Bengalis to think some adda over a nice hot cup of chai will solve everything! It might just work...
😂✌🏼
