But, no, of all the things I've heard of splitting in a restaurant, that one is a first.
Mr. Kipper takes cream and sweetener in coffee, I drink my coffee black. I can't touch his coffee.

Splitting tea is extremely common in Mumbai. Actually it is possible to order only "Half cup" of Tea (Chai). The term to use is "cutting" or to order - Ask for "Cutting Chai". The term cutting signifies the tea is cut in half and only half a cup is served. Of course the price is significantly lower than a full cup of chai (usually half the price as well).

Just google "cutting chai" or "Cutting tea"

So in the OPs instance, it would have been possible to just order half the cup (and pay for half the cup!)
