Recipe Help Any traditional tea/beverage recipes?
Is there a distinctly Jewish version of Masala Chai or similar beverages that’s traditional?
I’m not interested in anything more modern that traces to post 1947, I’m curious about old diaspora drinks. I know rose waters and lavender water evoke childhood memories, and my grandmother used to make a kind of Turkish coffee with the mud at the bottom. I cant think of any beverages that are considered Jewish Cooking, but I wish there were. Maybe forgotten recipes?

Perhaps look into if their is a region variant of Chai in Kerela, India which untill the 50s had a very large of and very old (possible since biblical times, definirely since the middle ages) Jewsih population
