Steep Away the Monsoon Sniffles With These Teas!
There is always that awkward time of year when the weather seems undecided. One minute it is sunny, the next it is pouring, and suddenly everyone around you is sneezing, coughing, or reaching for tissues. Whenever I feel the first signs of a scratchy throat or a stubborn sniffle, my instinct is not to look for something fancy. It is to put the kettle on. Tea has a way of making everything feel a little more manageable. The warmth, the aroma, the familiar ritual of brewing a cup. Whether packed with ginger, infused with herbs, or sweetened with jaggery, these teas offer comfort in a mug and are exactly what I crave when the seasons start playing tricks.
When in doubt, brew it out!
Rose & Hibiscus Masala Chai
Floral, fragrant, and surprisingly comforting, this chai combines classic warming spices with rose and hibiscus. The result is a soothing cup that feels both refreshing and indulgent, perfect for gloomy weather days.
Adrak Masala Chai
A true household favourite, adrak masala chai delivers warmth with every sip. Fresh ginger and aromatic spices create a bold, comforting brew that feels like the ultimate remedy for seasonal sniffles.
Ginger Lemongrass Tea
Simple yet powerful, this tea balances the gentle citrus notes of lemongrass with the warming kick of ginger. Light, refreshing, and deeply soothing, it is ideal when you need comfort without heaviness.
Gud Ki Chai
Sweetened with jaggery instead of sugar, this tea brings a richer flavour and old-world charm. The caramel-like sweetness pairs beautifully with strong tea, making every cup feel wholesome and comforting.
Cutting Chai
Small in size but big on flavour, cutting chai proves that comfort does not need a large mug. Strong, milky, and perfectly spiced, it remains one of India's most beloved tea rituals.
Not every seasonal sniffle needs a complicated fix. Sometimes all it takes is a warm cup in your hands, a quiet moment, and a tea that makes you feel a little better with every sip.
