Tea.
I trained for general practice in an area where the local population was more Sikh than sick. I know it's rude to generalise, but Sikhs tend to be very generous and hospitable people and always offered refreshments when I did house calls to them.
The first time I was offered tea, I accepted (though not a tea-drinker), took a sip from the cup, and almost spat it straight back out. Punjabi tea, it appears, involves putting tea leaves, full-cream milk (plus a bit of condensed milk, no doubt), sugar and cardamom into a pan on rising in the morning, and letting it simmer away all day, dipping into it as required.
But I drank it, which was less difficult than eating the puri that came as a snack with it.
