Doodh Cha

In Dhaka, my mornings were always brightened by a cup of tea made by Khairul or Monir Bhai, our trusted house helpers. Each cup was a small daily luxury that brought comfort and warmth. 

Moving to Canada, I was worried about how I would satisfy my tea cravings without the familiar flavors and convenience of my old routine. Making tea here is a different experience altogether, involving cleaning pots, strainers, and managing spills – a far cry from the effortless service I once enjoyed. Despite my attempts, replicating that creamy, thick tea from home has been challenging.

Here’s a recipe for a special dudh cha that brings a touch of Dhaka to my Canadian kitchen. It may not fully capture the essence of home, but it helps me bridge the gap between my past and present.
