Joseph Freeman, an Australian who shares his India experiences on Instagram, recently recreated a cherished memory by making chai with camel milk. This act connected him back to his visit to Bikaner, Rajasthan, 18 years ago. He was surprised to find camel milk readily available in Australia.
Freeman explored the presence of camels in Australia, noting they were introduced about 150 years ago from regions like Afghanistan and India for transport. These imported camels eventually formed a significant feral population. He shared that camel milk has a bright white color and a rich yet mild flavor, akin to a less creamy goat milk.
His post prompted discussions on camel milk's taste, with one user comparing it to goat milk and another expressing a dislike for it in chai. Freeman playfully acknowledged differing opinions, highlighting how the drink evoked memories of Rajasthan's setting sun for him.
