On a cold winter day or when I am sick my mother always makes me a warm cup of chai, she has been doing so for as long as I can remember. She stands by that fact that chai will fix everything, and you will feel better after one cup. Even now when I come home from school, she will make me a cup of chai and with the first sip comes all the memories of my childhood. Drinking chai is more than just drinking a hot beverage, it is about time spent with family.
