Tea has zero calories unless milk or sweeteners are added.Hence,it is much more healthier than other beverage options such as sodas or shakes.

NIMBU CHAI
With 'Nimbu' meaning lemon,and 'Chai' meaning tea,this hot Indian beverage will win your heart with its refreshing sweet and sour taste.The mellow sweetness of honey is paired with the citrusy sourness of lemon juice in a drink that comes across as a blessing when you have run out of milk,or if you are lactose intolerant.Or if you are NOT lactose intolerant!
