How does adding sugar affect the taste of tea?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The author raises a pertinent question, “How can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it?” He mocks such people that they could add even salt and pepper to tea. Adding sugar to hot water would give them an equal drink. So, the author disapproves of adding sugar to tea to retain its flavor and taste.
