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.

[@BJGvideos]

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!

Just a note for the captions: I believe what the Canadian says is "justice for Wet'suwet'en", which is an indigenous nation that has been fighting for years against a pipeline that was constructed without proper consultation with them (it goes through their land and dangerously close to their water supply, and consultation with indigenous folks of a region is a legal requirement here).

[@nadeeshaweerasinghe2485]

Many varieties of Tea in Sri lanka. Ceylon tea (Sri Lankan) is world famous. Indian lady who was talked about tea also mentioned Lipton tea which is from Sri Lanka.

[@aayushimahajan]

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!

[@tammanafayaz]

Noon chai is actually made from a type of green tea which is also called as gunpowder tea, and if you don’t have gunpowder tea you can use any green tea.

[@beckiesuesim2157]

[@CursiveTypewriter]

If you ever do a coffee episode, do give "coffee jelly" a try! It's a popular Japanese treat and it's as simple as using coffee instead of fruit juice in a jello. You can make it with presweetened coffee or do the unsweetened version and drizzle any sweetener/syrup of choice. I like my coffee jelly unsweetened, & pour unsweetened evaporated milk over it & top it with a sprinkle of raw sugar.

[@nicolle2126]

love coffee jelly! we often cut them up and put them in fun drinks like iced coffee or chocolate milk. Also used a lot in place of the pearls in milk tea/boba tea

For the Rooibos, I would definitely suggest you take out the teabag and lemon slice before you drink it. 😊 As for that rusk, it needs more time inside the hot drink, but I prefer it with coffee instead of tea. I find it detracts from the Rooibos tea taste. 😋

[@Albalannae]

I've been a fan of London Fogs for over 15 years, they are so good! A twist on it that I would make for myself when I worked in a coffee shop was to add Almond syrup to it instead of vanilla. The flavors work so well together 😋

Hi, Beryl. As a South African, I recommend that you leave the rusk in the tea to soak for a minute or two. Then it should be nice and soft... but since you have the thicker Ouma rusks, you might need to soak them for a while. 😊

From Juneau Empire: The common variety of Labrador tea you find in Southeast Alaska is Rhododendron groenlandicum. It has many names such as Hudson bay tea, muskeg tea, bog tea, swamp tea, and marsh tea. In the Tlingit language we call the plant s’ikshaldéen. Labrador tea has been used by indigenous people for thousands of years. Been 50 years since I had any.

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.

[@freelancewritereditorlogis1435]

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 💞

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)

[@yamiko8]

My favourite teas are green teas usually from japan or korea (including matcha), on it's own or with brown rice, then pu erh,oolong,some black teas like earl grey or ceylon. I like just the pure tea not adding anything apart from water to it, except when I drink a breakfast tea or a chai (spiced tea) from time to time. Then if the tea plant is not involved I enjoy a lot of herbal tisanes or infusions and grain ones like barley or corn ones. Although I usually dont like fruit teas I might like the goji and date one from hongkong as I like those by its own and I loved a korean pear cinnamon and date one and also their traditional persimmon cinnamon and ginger one^^

[@mrinalinirathore8075]

That pink tea has the most beautiful subtle tea flavour. Sweet with just a tiny bit of salt to enhance the experience. It isn’t supposed to be bitter at all. You probably added too many tea leaves. My mother makes it every day and we love it even though I’m not a big fan of tea otherwise 😊

Great video! Definitely do a coffee episode. You can even do a comparison between a country's coffee and tea culture! Love a London Fog and learned about the other fogs.

The cup you used for the Gogi and Jujube tea is absolutely gorgeous! It's the most unique cup I have ever seen! And also the cup you used for Noon Chai tea! Where are you getting all these unique and beautiful cups?

[@coffeeandscarves]

That glass is insanely pretty!

[@jessd4048]

Love the tea content! All my favourite things in one place, a good cuppa tea, great reading recommendations & justice for Wet'suwet'en!!

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.

Great episode! London Fogs are my go to tea drink, so nice to see that. Loved some of the other ones. I did a Kashmiri food challenge a few weeks ago - wish I'd seen the noon chai back then! Cool to see more about how it should be done now though.

Love your tea cup collection ❤ also love red dates, though I've not had them in tea before. We used to eat them when I was much younger, my Dad would bring them home (we lived in New Zealand) when he returned from trips to Singapore (he was in the NZ Airforce) - great memories 😊

I love your glass cups Beryl, they are beautiful.

[@RedLisa22]

Off to buy the missing ingredients and try them all. Thank you to everyone who shared their fav recipes ❤

[@nathaliedrinkstea]

I love your tea episodes so much ♥I think Kashmiri Chai is such a treat. I first had it at Chai Guys in London and my mind was blown. I discovered green tea specifically labeled as Kashmiri green tea at my local Indian store and made it myself at home. Yes, it took quite some time but I had a lot of it afterwards and was very pleased with the result ♥ I highly recommend trying it!

I ❤❤❤ that butterfly tea cup set 🦋🦋🦋

Thank you for inspiring us in so many ways, just borrowed the book, This Place, from my library. Would never have come across it if it hadn’t been for the ways in which you influence us, Beryl. You are what a social influencer should be, elevating, inspiring, thoughtful, responsible.

[@kelsey5471]

Tealightful episode, Beryl! I would love more tea episodes. I vote yes on coffee episode(s) too. Thank you! :)

Yayyyy Love how South Africa is represented! I used to drink rooibas tea with a bit of sugar, classic. As a South African residing in Toronto, Canada

I opened this video to watch during breakfast, making Freshpak Rooibos 😃🇿🇦

[@EmilyJelassi]

I've always loved tea and learning about new types of tea is always a good thing 😊♥️☕️

[@karenbenavente1124]

Beryl I love that tea cup so beautiful ❤️ I love love London fog 😊

[@utabirkmayer3222]

I had South African neighbors who taught me to make this tea in the percolator. It becomes Carmel and chocolaty and the antioxidants will be therapeutic! Lots of Japanese studies show that 20 min boiling will do the trick. Good for babies/colic and externally for diaper rush. Absolutely best if enjoyed with milk!! Yes!
