Practical exercise
Write a chai recipe function
A function is a recipe you write once and run a hundred times. Today you will write make_chai with three ingredients as inputs, call it for two cups, four cups, and ten cups, and watch the recipe scale on its own. After this you will never copy paste code again.

Write a chai recipe function
Stretch
Add a return statement instead of print. Have the function return a dictionary {water, milk, sugar}. Then write a second function shopping_list(cups) that loops over a list of cups counts and totals the ingredients.
