Bananas, Apples & Chikoo In Chai: Tea Seller's Fruity Chai Leaves People Speechless
There's no denying that Indians love their chai. Whether it's scorching hot or pouring rain, we crave our tea without fail. Recently, a tea vendor in Gujarat has crafted a fruity blend of chai that's stirring up quite a buzz.
Banana, apple & chikoo in milk tea
In Surat, Gujarat, a tea vendor came up with an innovative idea to create a one-of-a-kind tea by adding chopped bananas, apples, and chikoo to the usual blend of tea leaves and milk.?
In a video uploaded on Instagram, the tea seller is seen starting by boiling milk and then adding tea leaves.?
What comes next is quite unexpected: he smashes and grates fruits like bananas and apples into the boiling chai.?
After thoroughly stirring the mixture, he strains it before serving.

Left many speechless
Indians didn't quite fancy this unusual blend, to say the least. One person remarked, "They forgot to add Maggi," while another joked, "Uncle probably added poison too."?
Even @swiggy_instamart couldn't help but join in, leaving a comment that pretty much summed up everyone's reaction: "Would have liked to comment on this reel too but have no words."
Earlier tea concoctions also added eggs to tea
The Gujarat tea vendor isn't the only one who thought of mixing fruits with chai. Just last year, a video shared on Facebook by Sultana¡¯s Cook went viral, amassing a whopping 1.3 million views. But it didn't stop at fruits; they even added an egg into the mix.
Watch the video here:
In the video, chai and sugar are first heated without any liquid.?
Then, slices of apple are added to the dry mix before milk is poured in.?
Shockingly, an egg is cracked into the mixture. To mask any potential smell from the egg, the cook suggests adding cinnamon and cardamom. After straining the tea, it's served.
As one commenter fittingly put it, "R.I.P. tea" - a sentiment echoed by many.
