Bhubaneswar, Dec 4: Love for chai transcends mere beverage preference in India. It embodies a cultural phenomenon and an integral part of daily life.

More than just a drink, chai holds a special place in the hearts of millions.

From roadside stalls to lavish homes, chai serves as a unifying force, fostering conversations, forging connections, and creating a shared experience that cuts across societal boundaries.

Recently, a chai-making video by a vendor in Surat has gone viral. However, it's not just the chai itself that caught our attention; it's the way he makes it. He transforms the chai-making process into a scene straight out of a South Indian blockbuster.

The video begins with the vendor filling a large container with water, captivating onlookers as he theatrically pours packets of milk from a considerable height. Placing the brimming tumbler of milk on the stove, he energetically bangs the container with his ladle.

Skillfully flipping the ladle, he adds sliced lemongrass to the mix with an extra touch of dramatic flair, followed by the tea leaves. The tea gradually adopts a beautiful shade of brown, akin to the colour of milk tea, as the vendor continues to stir the mix.

Continuing, he throws some jaggery into the mix and proceeds to bring the chai to a boil. Demonstrating impressive ladle tricks while stirring, he strains the chai with a smooth move, serving it up in good old paper cups.

The video has gone viral, amassing over 6 million views in just a week since posting. Viewers were thoroughly entertained by the tea vendor's spectacle.
