What I’ve Been Drinking
This last week it was rainy, which is rather rare here in the Mojave.
So, last Sunday, as tropical storm Rachel was hitting the desert I baked some scones and tried the karak chai from Elaichi Co, that my friend gave me as a gift.
I had never had karak chai before, but had heard of it.
I loved it.
Much more than I had anticipated if I’m being honest. I might even prefer it to masala chai!
I had it twice more last week to go with the cooler weather.
May your tea drinking be peaceful.
Bret,
