Tea Of Gold: Lucknow Street Stall Sells "21 Carat Gold Tea". Watch Video

We all love sweets layered with edible silver leaf (warq) on top. It not only adds glimmer to the mithai, but also makes them taste better. And there have been foods decorated with gold warq also, some of which can be pretty expensive. Remember the biryani with real 23 carat gold served in Dubai? Foods with silver and gold leaf are common but have you even seen your tea served in this fashion? We doubt that. There is a tea stall in Lucknow that serves their tea with the layer of a gold leaf.

The video shows the making of a cup of tea. The stall looks well-maintained and serves beverages in proper ceramic mugs designed with the stall's name. The video shows prepared tea being strained through a sieve, pouring into the cup. Then some cream or malai is added on top. And to round it off, a small square sheet of gold leaf is used to cover it from the top. The post says that one cup of tea costs Rs 150, which suggests that the gold leaf may not be real. Nevertheless, the novel idea of serving tea and coffee is quite interesting.
