Tea without milk is incomplete in india... there could multiple flavour..some like cardamom flavoured while ginger tea is most selling during winter...tea leaves alongwitj flavoured item were boiled in milk added with sugar then served hot....at some places there were boiled in mud pot giving it different taste.

Goat milk though right? Or is cow milk okay there, just not eating the whole cow?

Eating cow is not in our culture. They were preferred by certain community (islam) but other use to worship cows....even cow dung and urine were used for many religious purpose

Interesting. I knew it was kind of not a thing over there, but I wasn't sure if that was just some people or if it was everyone.

For Hinduism cow is sacred animal, but still there are many slaugter hause to fulfill the demand of the community. Here many people prefer male goat and it was use for sacrifices too at many temples.....india is vast and vibrant...😉 simultaneously strange and interesting

Nope..no goat milk. We dont consume goat milk here except for few people at remote location.....we usually prefer cow or buffalo milk. Either freshly squeezed from them or pasteurised one. There are many company selling pasteurised cow milk....

Interesting. Thanks for the education! I definitely had a misconception about that.

I think I should share about "khataal" the place at many cities that keep these animals for milking. They manually milk and supply to customer...most people like to have the fresh milk but in absence of it, people rely on the packaged milk available at store

Okay, that makes sense. We have farms here where they milk cows, but I didn't know if they did that in India due to the scared status of the animal.
