Tea time is a special ritual in India. It is a time when family and friends come together and catch up on each other's lives. And since tea is extremely versatile, people love experimenting with this concoction. It can be customised with a wide range of flavours, such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and more. However, a few months ago, a video of a street vendor making rasgulla chai went viral on the internet. As bizarre as this may sound, this rasgulla chai hails from Kolkata. Recently, actor Ashish Vidyarthi was seen trying this unique type of chai for the first time.
