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.

My first feelings were of relief–
relief that there were no more steps to
cut, no more ridges to traverse, and no
more humps to tantalize us with hopes
of success. I looked at Tenzing. In spite of
the balaclava helmet, goggles, and oxygen
mask – all encrusted with long icicles–that
concealed his face, there was no disguising
his grin of delight as he looked all around
him. We shook hands, and then Tenzing
threw his arm around my shoulders and
we thumped each other on the back until
we were almost breathless. It was 11.30

half hours, but it seemed like a lifetime
