Chai is the one thing most Pakistani households agree on. Whether it’s the first cup after Fajr, the mid-morning break at the office, or the ritual glass offered to every guest, tea is woven into daily life in a way no other drink is.<\/p>\n
What most people don’t realise is how much those cups add up. A typical Pakistani doesn’t drink one cup a day \u2014 it’s closer to three to five. And unlike the plain black tea a British person might sip, our chai comes loaded with full-fat milk and at least one or two teaspoons of sugar. The calorie count is very different from what most calorie charts show.<\/p>\n
This guide breaks down the actual calories in the types of tea Pakistanis drink most \u2014 regular chai, doodh pati, karak chai, and green tea \u2014 so you know exactly what you’re taking in.<\/p>\n
