Chai and Kakawa

Oooh chai. Chai in Kenya is not just spiced tea, but fantastically spiced tea boiled with both water and milk. It usually uses fresh tealeaves, which are strained out towards the end. You are offered it often and most times must indulge lest you offend your host. I have come to enjoy tea more and more, especially with some nice coarse brown sugar. Oooh chai.

At the beach Socy and I got some Kakawa (Coffee). It was spiced, and had some added ginger powder. An odd but alluring flavour. Still don’t like coffee, but with some nice spicy ginger powder it was exotic and bearable.
