How to make camping chai
2007-07-21 20:16:00
The TimesOnline suggests that: Tis the season to go camping (don’t mind the rain, it stops eventually) so I thought I’d offer up my recipe for chai. It’s easy as pie, sweet and flavoursome and should disguise the the strange odour coming from your camping mug. In case you’re wondering what chai is: In a typical South Asian household, chai is prepared by boiling loose leaf tea in a pot with milk and water. Depending on personal preference, various spices and/or sweetner may also be added at this stage. What many English speakers tend to think of as chai is, therefore, more strictly known as masala chai. Indian markets all over the world sell various brands of chai masala though many households blend their own. In India, chai is more popular than coffee, and “chai wallahs,” or street vendors, are a common sight in many Indian neighborhoods.

10 eco-friendly things to do with lemons
2007-07-21 12:16:00
Great post by Tracy Stokes over at Ecostreet: Lemons are natural and very useful, plus, they donâ€™t harm the planet. Personally, I canâ€™t think of a bad thing to say about lemons. They are great for salad dressings, flavouring puddings and squeezed onto veggies too. Here are some other things you can do with lemons. Highlight your hair - much better for you and the environment than commercial bleaches. Mix the juice of one lemon with one teaspoon of salt and apply to your hair with a comb. Get out into the sun for a couple of hours. Do some vegetable gardening, tend your lemon tree, go for a walk, you get the picture. Don’t do this too often, it will dry your hair out. I only wish I had some! Be sure to subscribe to my feed for other great lifehacks for the everyday activist. Subscribe in a reader Share This
