For the Kashmiri tea, it was rude to say this was the longest time you’ve taken to make tea. You reiterated it many times. Pls realise people invest time in sharing recipes with you, and without their recipes your KZbin channel can’t get anywhere. If you don’t like a recipe a suggestion is don’t make it, but don’t be rude this way. I always like your content but I was pretty disappointed by what you said. Unsubscribing right away. I didn’t mean to be rude, but I’m just being direct. I hope you take a positive feedback from this and don’t depict this behaviour again.

Why is your ad so weird? You keep saying "organic materials" but only mention cotton...and you say THAT when saying that it's fair trade certified which you for some reason define as meaning that it uses organic cottons. That is NOT what fair trade means in any way whatsoever!

4:15 I’m Zimbabwean. I used to take care of goats back when i libed in the village. I think the goats used to feed on some wild rooibos plants and they dung would start smelling like it. I cannot drink rooibos without thinking of goat excrement 😂. But its a staple in my country as well. My favourite is Tangada of course but thats just normal black tea

[@BenjiSun]

Rooibos is really good "tea", i especially enjoy it hot or cold in the summer months when it's humid heat. Also, i recommend adding a single slice of ginger to the jujube+goji drink just for a little warming quality. the 3 things combined are (according to TCM practitioners) a good tonic for that time of the month for women, and an alternative to drinking it as a sweet tea, is to use those 3 things to boil chicken soup (or replace ginger with ginseng, and add glutinous rice, which becomes the Korean samgyetang). There's a good many variations to these ingredients. Dried Longan fruit(aka gui-yuan), aged dried mandarin peels, dried Hangzhou white chrysanthemum flowers(hang-bai-ju), dried monkfruit, peach resin, Female ginseng (angelica sinensis) roots, etc... are all ingredients for tea-like concoctions for various uses, some cooling, some warming, all soothing for different purposes. There's also a black variant of the goji berries (with more antioxidants), from higher elevation parts of China, that makes for a really soothing drink when i was traveling in Siberia at below 30C down to almost -40C. Now that stuff is always in my cupboards.

[@obsidianwing]

You really have to try North German East Friesian Tea. You can get it in this Reagion. Its a special Blend of Black Tea ist served with creme and "Kluntje" ( a Sugar Crystal in size od a Sugar Cube) . The Way its Served makes it very special , my Grandpartens taught me how to drink it and I love it. Put a Raw Sugar crystal in a small Tea Cub , fill it with Tea and add a teaspoon of Cream into it. Dont stir it. You need a special spoon for it with a laddle. The magic is lat the Cream sink down to the ground a wait a bit. When made all right you have this classic "wölkchen" , Cloud in the Tea Cup. This helps to cool down the tea while the sugar dissolved. When the hot tea gets poored into the cub the sugar makes this typical cracking sound like glass. All Part of the ritual . I personally love Cold Mate Tea and Hot Strong brewed Earl Grey Tea with Milch ( since I made Blubble Tea myself I have fallen in Love with Milk Tea)

[@evenikol2093]

Im from Greece and the tee we are making here is called "tsai" and it is closer to the last recipe. We use either leafs or smal flowers, whitch are collected from mountains. We boil them with water. When the water is hot enough we drain the leafs off. Serve with honey or milk or by its self and you are done. Of corse there is also the tee bag option but if we are talking about an actual tee recipe this is it. Fun fact we dont have tee partys, we drink tee for its deneficent propertys when we are sick to become better.

1. I dun think one can make noon chai with any green tea. We, at least in Jammu and Kashmir, use specific kind of tea leaves to make noon chai which is also called as desi chai in Jammu parts of Jammu and Kashmir. 2. Noon chai or desi chai as we call it in the parts where I come from, can be had sweet. That’s sugar and no salt. 3. I agree that you need to boil it for long (and that’s why I hardly ever make it), but you dun need to stir it constantly. You put everything in a saucepan, put it on a low flame and forget about it for about 1 hour. Occasional stirring is all that’s required. 4. Noon chai (salty one) takes some time to get used to. It’s best had with buttered Kashmiri roti. And the sugary version (desi chai) is best had with rusk. Give it another chance maybe. This time with right kind of green tea leaves. Cheers!

Hi Beryl! I commented on another of your videos when you'd said you couldn't find unsweetened Condensed Milk in your stores, but I forgot to say that it's marketed as "evaporated" milk. Both are simmered until 60% reduced. The difference in flavor and texture both come from the addition of sugar to the Condensed version. I LOVE tea, and when I add dairy, it's almost exclusively evaporated milk because it's shelf stable until you open it, can be stored in the can in your fridge (with a little topper on it), and it takes up minimal space. If you still want creamy tea, with less of a sweet kick, try doing half Condensed Milk and half Evap... or all evaporated and use your sweetener of choice. Love your videos, and was so thrilled to see your PBS series! You are a "must watch" for me every time 💞

Ceylon tea is sometimes argued to be the best type of tea in the world but it is so UNSUSTAINABLE . Sri Lanka is producing so much it is the fourth largest producer despite been a country so small and the size of west virginia. So many acres of forest land that is incredibly fertile had been deforested completely ruining the ecosystem. A renowned Sri Lankan zoologist who introduced analogue forestry to the world said sri lanka's hill country water resources will dry up in about 150 years making the lush green terrain as dry as most parts of India. Tea takes away the nutrients in the soil and make it very hard for new trees that support the sensitive biodiversity of sri lanka to survive. Sri Lanka should not be producing so much tea, it is basically a Karen thing to do the earth we live in. Tea, Rubber, Coconut plantations in SL are ruining the country along with the 1000s of resorts,hotels,restaurants opening up and been built without any sustainable practices but has many fake green washed sustainable showoffs.

So what is your plan for the people to live if you want them to give up several of their major industries?

[@indujadiasnanayakkara7832]

@@jerrymiller9039 When we are faced with a situation which has cons whether we fix it or not ,we must choose what is the selfless thing to do. Despite there are people living off of the tea industry in SL , that generation of tea pluckers are very old and machine removed tea leaves are very low quality, and their children move to cities looking for new jobs, it has to be now that the government and the normal people of SL be cohesive to address an issue that affects all of us with no negative emotion. Giving up a major industry because a country that uses electricity from about 21% Hydro power(from the hill country, or tea country if you will) will be compromised in a possibly drastic and irreversible way.

Since you are interested in Ceylon tea why don't you do a video about varieties of Ceylon tea. And you will gonna amaze. Because you can say it is the world's finest tea, with a unique flavour, fragrance, and freshness... (Hope I'm not wrong)

[@justbeokay]

I feel like rusks goes better with milk coffee,you should try rooibos with milk as well...there's also flavoured rooibos available of the same brand you used in this video,which is really nice too.

I don't know about the tea from Hong Kong but that enameled glass was the most beautiful tea cup I've ever seen!

[@juliehayne4636]

Yes! I was so distracted by those cups, that I kept missing her reviews of the beverages.

[@jayneecedars7817]

I want one!

If you don’t have a frother or steamer, an efficient way to get warm frothy milk is to whisk it while heating it on the stove!

Ceylon Tea is the worlds best tea. ( at leat black tea in my opinion) If you haven’t had that you’re probably missing a lot of good tea. I have had black tea from other countries and they don’t even compare to Sri Lankan black tea.

[@Princessalishia]

Ceylon tea is Sri Lankan tea.One of the best tea in the world.Ceylon is the name they gave us when British ruled us.I have tasted condensed milk tea it was amazing.But normally in Sri Lanka we usually drink milk tea.we can make it with tea and fresh milk or milk powder.

this is a call for anyone from Vietnam to submit ‘salt coffee’ or Cà Phê Muối for the coffee episode ☕️😅 - I’m currently in Vietnam and LOVE it, it’s so unique and I would love to know more about its origins/how it’s made!

I drink black tea in the morning, and Rooibos all day. I love it. I never drink coffee, so tea is my thing. I occasionally have green tea, zinger tea, ginger tea, etc.

This episode was so comforting.

By the way, jujubes and dates are completely different fruits. You were using dates, not jujubes. The first two drinks aren't even "tea" at all, just tea-like.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

I don't really like tea very much, especially not the iced tea that is extremely popular where I'm from (Oklahoma), but I watched this anyway because it's still fun to learn about food and drinks, even those I don't like.

[@samra2386]

The Sri Lankan tea is the original version of the Malaysian Teh Tarik... since they were the ones to introduce it to the country when they came as merchants... Definitely gonna get the book❤

[@wanderfelle9254]

when I was little, my mom would make some sweet soups that used rock sugar and she would take a small piece of the rock sugar to give it to us as candy and it was my favourite part! I also had no idea London Fog originated from Canada! I used to treat myself with the sweet drink when I was in college!

I can't drink Earl Grey because bergamot makes my throat close up. So, I won't be ordering that on the Enterprise. Raktajino, on the other hand... 🖖
