My favourite drink : (Matha)

With my boundless regards, love, and affection to all my Steemians on this platform, I’m going to start today’s post. Being a Bangladeshi I got a lot of support and motivation from all the admins, moderators, and also my dearest Steemians with whom I got introduced through this native community of mine "Steem For Bangladesh". Our respected moderator mam @shiftitamanna has announced an enthralling contest "Contest : What is your Favourite Drink?" for being a participant today I’m here. I’m thankful to mam and also the community for organizing this interesting contest through this we get an opportunity to know about our other Steemina fellows. Without any further duo, I’m going to start my today’s article.

Among all the available drinks in our country tea and coffee are veritably popular throughout Bangladesh. These two drinks are known to every kind of person each over Bangladesh. Tea is principally made with liqueur, sugar, and milk. These three combinations produce a subconscious that activates and enlivens our jitters. Whether it is a small quiet remote village or the busiest city, cafes, offices, homes,

everywhere these days. People gather and gossip with a cup of tea in their hand in the tea stall all around the day that’s why this place is crowded. Tea this drink in the 19th century was introduced to our country Bangladesh by the British. Through this, we get to know a new drink and gradually it becomes veritably popular among all of us. Our Sylhet areas

are heavily cultivated. We export tea to various countries around the world after completing the domestic requirements of our own country. Every year we earn huge foreign currency by exporting this asset to our country.

Although we have been familiar with coffee for a long time but since the end of the 20th century its demand has been increasing day by day in our country. The

demand for coffee is high substantially higher in the metro cities rather than in urban areas. Gradually coffee is getting known to everyone and its taste and popularity are increasing gradually.

Yes, like every other child, I was very fond of different flavored drinks as a child. Milk and water were the main drinks during my childhood days. As I gradually grew older, I came familiar with drinks of different natures and different tastes. I still vividly flash back to when I was a child, chocolate milk was available in packets called “Milk Vita Chocolate Milk” which was very delicious and I used to eat it during in tiffin. Besides, homemade fruit juices like belle syrup, raw or ripe mango juice, banana juice, orange juice, ripe papaya juice, banana juice, etc.

After that, I was introduced to Coke, Pepsi, Merinda, and Seven Up in glass bottles back in the day. After opening the work bottle, the word “pop” sounded most appealing to me. Moreover, after pouring the Coke into the glass, the bubbles in it were more affable to see. Also, another big intriguing drink at the wedding house in our country was Burhani which is wonderful as a drink. Borhani was good to eat because they were given a little salty, sour, and sweet which was an incredible taste.
Moreover, on the day of fasting, I was introduced to another drink which is called Matha or Ghol. Basically, it was from the curd and used various spices which enhances the taste of it more.

Into a clean glass bowl, I put 2 big cups of sour yogurt. With the sour yogurt i add two tbl spoon bit salt and two tbl spoon lemon juice in it.

A table spoon sugar add into it and keep stirring it.

I keep stirring it until the sugar mixed with the curd.

After that, I add two cups of boiled cold milk to it. I keep whiping the whole drink for 12 minutes. I love thick Matha that's why i keep this mixture consistency like this. When there I found some bubbles on it that meant my drink "Matha" was ready.
