Chai in Jaipur, chai in Pittsburgh. ☕🧡
On my trip, my guide Umar Beyond Jaipur | Umar and I stopped at a chaiwala and sat among the locals. No rush, just a warm cup and a slow day. It was one of my favorite moments of the whole trip.
This weekend I made chai for the kids, and with our mornings getting chilly, it felt like a little piece of that day came home with me.
Etta is learning Mandarin in school, and she just learned 不冷不热 (bù lěng bù rè), “not cold, not hot.” Listen for it at the end of the video.
