Watch: CNN's Sanjay Gupta Tries Teaching Daughter How To Make Chai, Leaves Netizens Unimpressed
As the neurosurgeon wanted to teach his daughter how to make tea, passing down the recipe by his mother, people said it was anything but chai.
American neurosurgeon, Dr Sanjay Gupta is quite a popular personality on television as CNN¡¯s chief medical correspondent. However, he decided to make tea this time and people on the internet were left confused.
Twitter
He recently tried to teach his daughter how to make the desi beverage. In a video shared by the news outlet, the neurosurgeon said he learned the recipe from his mother and is passing it down to his children.
In the video clip shared by CNN, he is seen telling his daughters that he used to make tea for his parents ¡°all the time¡± and now his daughters can do the same. The footage showed the family using brown sugar, finely diced ginger and cardamom and bags of black tea.

The girls boil water with cardamom and ginger but then what they do next surprises people. The girls go on to add tea bags. Gupta explains that loose tea leaves are usually added but that can be "hard". The girls then add milk to the chai and wait for the chai to get ready. The family then sips chai from the cups that were used by Gupta's mother.
Even though many people loved the thought and the nostalgia attached to his story, many thought he ruined chai and questioned ¡°why is he destroying his mother¡¯s reputation¡±. Most chai lovers dubbed it coloured milk, while others poked fun at him for westernisation of the desi staple.
One user said, "That's more like doodh-patti. That's not chai bro." Another wrote, "That. IS. NOT.CHAI. That looks like Horlicks."
A third user posted, "Look at the colour of the chai. eh." Yet another added, "I actually think this is a really sweet video. Some of y'all need to calm down."
Yup. Chai latte
