I felt like having both hot tea and hot coffee.

1) For chai, I lightly fried cinnamon bark, fresh nutmeg, cloves, star anise, black and white pepper, cardamom, mace, allspice...together, in some black tea. Served with a bit of whole milk.

2) For coffee, I boiled water, added chicory coffee to a coffee press, and steeped in the boiling water til done. Served with double cream, and whole milk.


And, actually ended up having the curry with both a bit of the wild/basmati rice, and cous cous mixed. It was very good! I often have this together, with my curry. And often have both this hot chai, and this hot coffee with it.
