Ah! Here comes my drink. An exam pressure, a pile of notes, books and notebooks, sleeping eyes and my mom entering with a cup of hot 'doodh patti' to boost my energies is my precious memory.  If any student is planning to study at night and wants to stay fresh and active for long then it should be started with a cup of 'doodh patti'. A 'doodh patti' is a very healthy drink that also has benefits of milk in it. I didn't like too much 'patti' in doodh patti as a light 'doodh patti' did good for me but my sister drank a black 'doodhpatti' and continued studying all night. But It didn't remain a healthy drink then because of too much black tea (patti) in it!

 Sometimes, my sweet mom awoke all night during exam days to make special doodh patti for us whenever we called her. May God bless her always. Oh! come out of stance and back to jhatpat recipe.
