Tea can be made from milk

. Dr. Seema told that 200 grams of cowpea has to be soaked in water overnight. After cleaning the cowpeas in the morning, take 500 ml of water separately. After this, grind the cowpea by adding water in the mixer. The ground mixture has to be taken out and filtered with a cloth from the marquin and after filtering, the remaining cowpea has to go through this process three to four times. The water left after filtering from the maraquin will be used as milk. In this way 700 ml of milk is prepared from 200 grams of cowpea. It can also be used to make tea and tofu paneer (paneer made from soybeans).
