Pakistani Tea
Pakistanis make tea different than regular traditional tea. They make tea with milk and sugar.
The recipe itself is very easy to follow. All you need is some water, milk, black tea and sugar; that is it.
Let’s make four cups of tea
2 cups water
2 ½ teaspoons black ground Lipton tea
3 teaspoons sugar
2 cups milk
Boil the water with tea and sugar only
Once the water is boiled, next pour the milk over
Let it boil, after boiling, get a filter; place the filter over the cup
Next pour the Pakistani Tea, so it filters and it will be free of tea leaves.
For diabetics, skip the sugar part or add sweet & low sugar to make the tea sweet. You cannot find Pakistani Tea in major grocery stores, except Pakistani grocery stores. It is also possible to make tea with English breakfast tea.
For the ones, who has a busy schedule or would like to make tea at the office. Please follow the steps below.
One glass 12oz water
Add two bags of Black English breakfast tea
Microwave it for 2 minutes
Pour 4 packs of little Half & Half
Add two teaspoons of sugar
Be care full, the tea that you are going to drink is extremely hot. Please do not drink right away.

How to brew coffee?
How to brew coffee?
You might be wondering, why I came up with this idea. Now a lot of us brew coffee, sometimes it is too dark or too light to drink. There is no secret behind a tasty coffee. Almost every brand will taste good. Only if you know; how to brew it properly?
Measuring your ground coffee plays major role in brewing coffee. Lets brew the coffee then;
8 cups water
5oz ground coffee
Place filter in coffee maker
Pour water into the coffee maker
Add ground coffee
Start the coffee maker
Once the coffee is ready, please help yourself and enjoy your coffee. You can add half & half, low fat milk or flavored coffee creamer, powder coffee creamer, only if you chose to add.
Remember if the coffee stays longer than an hour in coffee maker. The coffee not only loses its freshness and tastes; but also it burns. Burnt coffee is not healthy and also it doesn’t taste better.
Tips on how to keep ground coffee fresh, always make sure to put the lid back on, every time you brew some coffee. It will be better if you can refrigerate the coffee.
