In Pakistan, chai is served to guests as a gesture of warmth and hospitality. Families gather over chai to share stories, and friends bond over cups of steaming tea at dhabbas. Whether enjoyed in the morning, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or after dinner, chai is deeply woven into the social fabric of Pakistan. It’s made by simmering tea, milk, sugar, cardamom and spices for an extended time to
intensify the taste.
