THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!

In India, certainly, everyone has their favorite chai wallah. It's the same as we have our favorite baristas in New York. As I was in one place for the majority of my time in India I too found my own chai wallah. At first he was guarded and wondered why I, a non-Indian who is a woman and of a certain class, was interested in sitting at his chai stand with such an interest and intent on learning how he made his chai. But, after a month and a half we became friends and he made a point in showing me the ropes. His trick was he only used milk, no water and he added in fresh ginger, crushed with the tong used to lift his copper chai pot off the burner. A chai glass like this is only found at chai vendors in India, you will not find it in cafes or restaurants. So many foreigners warned me not to eat street food and drink the chai. One local told me, "How can you trust the chai wallah on the street? That milk could be anti-freeze for all you know." Anti-freeze is more expensive than milk was my reply. If you can't eat food on the street when you are in India, stay home. I was not sick a day in three months from the food, the pollution was more the problem, you could almost taste it.
