The act of consuming tea.
Contexto cultural
Tea is often viewed as 'medicine'. If you tell a Serbian friend you are drinking tea, they might ask if you are feeling okay. In the northern part of Serbia, tea culture is more influenced by Central European traditions, often served with milk or lemon. People in regions like Zlatibor or Rtanj take great pride in 'domaći čaj' (homemade tea) made from wild-picked herbs. In Belgrade, 'piti čaj' is becoming a trendy social alternative to coffee, with many specialized tea houses opening.

Honey vs Sugar
In Serbia, tea is almost always served with a slice of lemon and a packet of honey rather than milk.
