Do you know about the latest drama related to tea? This time, we’ll be talking about the viral “Fruit Chai” recipe video that has become a hot topic among chai lovers around the world.
Well, we all know the sacred tea, which is affectionately called. ‘Chai’, located in India. It’s not just a drink, it’s practically a religion. So when someone messes with a classic recipe and turns it into a viral sensation, there’s bound to be some uproar.
In this video shared by Instagram handle ‘@foodie_for_life’, a tea vendor from Surat, Gujarat decided to shake things up by mixing chopped bananas, apples and sapodillas into the tea leaves and milk mixture. Looks like the fruit salad decided to soak it in tea, but needless to say, people aren’t drinking it.
Watch the video below.
The video shows the tea vendor doing his best to crush and grate the fruit, stir the chai, strain it, and serve it. The color may be the same, but what about the taste? Suffice it to say, this video left a pretty unpleasant impression on everyone who watched it.
Even the folks at @swiggy_instamart couldn’t help but chime in, leaving a comment that pretty much sums up everyone’s reaction. “I wanted to comment on this reel as well, but I have no words.”
And what about the comment section? Oh, it’s a treasure trove of cynicism and disbelief. “You forgot to add the cheese,” one user joked, while another quipped: “Hey officer, I’d like to report a crime.”
Some people said, “Uncle must have poisoned it too.” Wow!
Remember “Other” fruit chai trends? Is it something that a woman caramelized apples and added eggs to it?
Here’s a video to refresh your memory:
The video, published on Facebook courtesy of Sultana’s Cook, has received an incredible response. 1.3 million views But instead of bringing joy, it provoked a storm of criticism from a wide range of chai lovers. This looks like a warm-up act for this latest concoction.
So if you’re thinking of trying this fruity chai, you might want to proceed with caution. You don’t want anything to do with religion, do you?
