A close-up of a traditional chai strainer held over a cup, with hot tea being poured through it. The rich, amber-colored liquid flows smoothly into the cup, while the tea leaves and residue are caught in the strainer, remaining on one side. Steam rises gently from the cup, and the scene is set in a warm, cozy kitchen with a rustic feel. The moment captures the simplicity and ritual of making chai, emphasizing the strainer’s role in separating the rich, brewed tea from the leaves.
