      More importantly, how do the points system work - how many points do i get for a fresh new recipe and how many do i get for posting a variant. Also, do i get points for all variants some one else posts using my recipe?

      and btw.. this is not how 'mallus' make chai.. you always boil the tea leaves / powder in water.. based on how intense you need it...and then mix the boiling milk into your tea distil.. and throw the liquid from one glass to another with a 2 metre distance...then try and tell me how is the 'mallu chai'...its the best in the world..of course.. if its raining and you are in the mountains...its perfect.. but sad.. I am the black variety..
